what do you do for toddlers with gas?

Dd just woke up from her nap not long ago with horrible gas. She was in tears for quite a while not to mention she was stinking up the place. I am sure this is from her milk, she had not had this problem so bad before we made the transition. What can I do?


Ps- I have tried the infant gas drops with her meals but apparently it is not working.

 

we just give Mylicon drops - in a larger dose (like fill the entire dropper)...

 

Sorry, I don't have any advice, but when I read the title I had to respond....we try not to laugh and have taught them to say, "Excuse me." They are getting really good at it.....saying "excuse me" that is.

No really, I would try the mylicon, and maybe see if you notice a trend with the foods.

this is what I've done and it seemed to work.

 

If it continues, I would try eliminating all dairy for a week and see if it goes away. My girls had gas so bad they cried and drops didn't work at all. I went through so many bottles I thought I should buy stock in them. Once we eliminated dairy it pretty much went away and we haven't used drops since. It took them 3 days to get the dairy out of their bodies and then they were good. Once we reintroduced dairy, it started all back up again so we eliminated it for good.

 

I 2nd the Mylicon drops. They worked so well for them as infants, I would not hesitate to give now with a slightly increased dose size.
