Let’s talk about those sweet little baby tummies. Judah had some tummy troubles early on. He wasn’t colicky or sick, however, he spit up after almost every feeding and had some gas pain. Apparently, these things are pretty common among newborns and there isn’t much you can do to sooth them. After research, talking with our pediatrician, and plenty of trial and error, we found a few things that worked for us. We found a few tricks that soothed Judah’s little tummy and helped him keep his food down.
#1 Baby Probiotics
Our pediatrician suggested this to us. We were informed that not only will this help his tummy, but the probiotics are great for his immune system and overall wellness. Judah has had a daily probiotic supplement everyday of his life since he was about one month old. I should mention, we have tried a few different brands and our faves are the Simple Truth from Kroger and the Infants Mylicon brand from Amazon.
#2 Rice Cereal in the Bottle
Our pediatrician also recommended (for the spit up) trying some rice cereal in his bottle. We started this when he was around three months old, and it WORKED. He went from spitting up at almost every feeding to about twice a day. Big win! If your baby is having trouble keeping their milk down, I recommend talking to your baby’s doctor, and asking them about adding rice cereal. *Side note* When our pediatrician recommended the rice cereal she also suggested that we make him sit upright for at least 15 minutes after each feeding. Worked wonders!
#3 TummyGize
We love our oils! This oil blend is already diluted. I noticed a huge difference in Judah when we introduced this oil to his bedtime routine. So much so that some days, I would use it every other diaper change. I put one drop in his belly button and rubbed it across his tummy. This blend contains spearmint oil, peppermint oil, tangerine oil, fennel oil, ginger oil, and other essential oils meant to help support the body’s digestive and immune systems. this essential oil blend helped us get through those fussy newborn nights.
These are a few tricks that worked for us. Judah felt much better once these were implemented into his daily routine. I would recommend these things to any new mama out there. What are some tricks that have worked for you and your baby?
I can’t say enough about these Young Living oils and products! They are amazing! Being a mommy has made me realize how important it is to have chemical-free, plant based tools.
