Preventing Your Baby’s Gas and Colic Symptoms

Change Feeding Position

Gravity may also be working against your baby, preventing them from being able to digest their food efficiently. It’s most common to feed babies lying down, but for those that are prone to gas and colic, this can further irritate symptoms.

It may be worth it to try a new feeding position, opting for something a bit more upright to allow better milk flow to the stomach. With bottle feeding, it’s fairly easy to support your baby in a sitting position to feed. With breastfeeding, you can use an extra pillow under your baby to prop them up a bit more.
