A member asked:

What gas remedies are safe for a nursing mother to take? can any of them help relieve gas pains for her baby?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Simethicone: Always discuss meds with your OB, but simethicone products should be safe for you. They made an infant formula liquid drops as well.
