To reduce gas in a breastfeeding baby, you can:
1. Adjust Feeding Techniques:
• Ensure a proper latch to minimize air intake.
• Keep the baby in an upright position during and after feeding.
2. Burp Frequently:
• Burp the baby during and after feedings to release trapped air.
3. Watch Your Diet:
• Avoid gas-inducing foods like beans, broccoli, cabbage, and carbonated drinks.
• Monitor for sensitivities to dairy or spicy foods.
4. Paced Feeding:
• If using bottles, opt for slow-flow ni***es and paced feeding.
5. Tummy Time and Massage:
• Gently massage the baby’s tummy or use the “bicycle legs” technique to ease gas.
6. Seek Medical Advice:
• Consult a pediatrician if gas persists or is accompanied by other symptoms.
