Question 1

is it normal for 2 weeks old babies to have gas a lot? my baby when she drinks her milk usually she farts is it normal?

Accepted Answer

Yes: it  is normal.But sometimes babies have intolerance to cows milk,and would switch to non cow based formula. Talk to your Pediatrician if you are overly concerned

Question 2

when babies have gas, does it hurt?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Sometimes the gas causes the gastrointestinal tract to stretch to the point where the pain receptors are activated.So yes , gas may cause pain. But not always.

Question 3

can babies breathe faster if they have gas?  how come it feels like my baby breathes so much faster sometimes.  i timed it at 45 breathes for min

Accepted Answer

45 breaths/min is OK: If babies get a full tummy, the upward pressure on the diaphragm muscle can make them breathe faster for short periods, but 45 breaths a minute is normal. Babies can normally breathe up to 60 times a minute normally

Question 4

can baby teething cause gas, discomfort, constipation, lack of appetite?

Accepted Answer

No: Teething has been wrongfully blamed for the common maladies in infants of 6 to 12 months age such as fever (febrile illness), diarrhea or even rash.  It would be reasonable to expect a mild elevation of temperature not above 101 degree F and some fretfullness.

Question 5

does pain pills cause you to have gas?

Accepted Answer

Well, obviously, you: What are you taking the pain pills for?Let's say it's for an ankle sprain and not gastric upset or cramps. And if you haven't been eating any gas-forming foods(like broccoli or beans,etc) and you haven't been so nervous you've been swallowing air and-you took the pain pills and you got gas and stopped taking them and the gas went away--then took them and the gas came back--hmmm, what do you think?

Question 6

we are trying for a baby, i'm feeling vertigo and have gas does it means i'm pregnant?

Accepted Answer

Not typical : Signs of pregnancy that cannot otherwise be ruled out without a pregnancy test if circumstances make it possible. Workup through your doc  appears to be needed for your symptoms.

Question 7

can i give my 6 month old teething baby gripe water? she seems more bothered by gas rather than her gums. thank you

Accepted Answer

If you wish: I'm not convinced that it does anything for babies but it does give moms something to do, and some swear by them. The contents of gripe water are not harmful.

Question 8

i ate something wrong and now i have gas and loose stool, not very loose but anyway. pregnant 32  weeks how can it harm baby?

Accepted Answer

Not a bit: If you are gassy, it's more likely due to chemical reactions or lack of enzyme activity in your colon. The issue doesn't enter your blood stream, and won't cross the placenta. It only affects the baby in that if you feel uncomfortable, the steps you take to relieve it, or if it keeps you from doing other things to take care of yourself.

Question 9

i keep feeling movement in my stomach, like when feeling baby move. it's been like this for 3 days. i did pregnancy test after 65 days of not getting my period - showed negative and now i'm on 4th day of my period. so what can it be? i don't have gas

Accepted Answer

Examination needed: We can't give you an answer without more history , physical examination and probably an ultrasound examination, so kindly see your doctor/gynecologist for evaluation, wish you well

Question 10

everytime i eat a full meal i throw up or have gas. what could cause this?

Accepted Answer

Peptic Ulcer Disease: This could be an ulcer, reflux disease, or even your gallbladder acting up.  Try Tums (calcium carbonate) and go see your doctor if it does not help.
