Apparently we have exceptionally gassy boys. As with most infants, they screamed when they needed to pass gas. But their true gas issues are really from the waist up. We started to give the boys Mylicon Gas Relief Drops when they were only a few weeks old, hoping it would relieve their discomfort. For many, these gas drops do not work. But for us, it relieved the pain from the gas in their stomachs, but not the pain from gas in their bowels.
We would have to burp the boys often throughout a bottle because if we did not, the gas bubbles would want to come up and take all the formula with it causing massive spit ups. We mix large batches of powder formula which creates foam which creates gas in my babies' bellies. So we now add a small dose of Mylicon to every bottle, and it helps tremendously.
Because we go through so much Mylicon, we actually buy the Target brand of infant gas drops. The price difference is unbelievable!
