My 8 month old baby moves a lot at night and has gas. Is this why she doesn't sleep well?

I was wondering if BioGaia would help with gas? Or what other product would you recommend?

Hello Ma'am,
Before attempting Bio-Gaia, I recommend the following techniques:
If your baby is breastfeeding, increase the frequency of feedings to aim for at least one feed every 3 hours. If he's started eating, give him more fluids (but not too much cow's milk, since that's linked to a risk of constipation) and focus on fiber-rich foods (prunes, oat and barley cereals, sweet potatoes).
In all cases, it is also suggested to stimulate baby's belly with massages (clockwise) and by lying on his back to make him "cycle" with his legs.
If this is not enough, one could try Bio-Gaïa while waiting for the doctor's appointment (this product should not be taken for more than one month without medical follow-up).
Happy day,
Alexandre Chagnon, pharmacist
