Is there homeopathy for baby gas?

Question

Hello, 6 week old baby. Internal reflux diagnosed, had prevacid for early esophagitis. Takes milk for baby who regurgitates. Bb has a lot of gas (30-40 per day), tummy ache. The prevacid had decreased the irritation in his esophagus but it also made his milk clearer as his stomach was less acidic we are already doing all the tricks to help him: bed at 45 degrees, vertical 30-40 minutes after feeding, adjusting the milk flow, interrupted feeding, burping harder, thicker milk no other reason for the gas appears to us... so we tried homeopathy as we were at our wits end. it's certain that stopping the prevacid has made his milk thicker, and therefore more difficult to digest. Bb is having a hard time having a bowel movement, but is finally succeeding after a lot of work and crying. Can we use a little lac a day at his age?

Hello, ma'am, Did the Prevacid help with the symptoms? Is there another cause for the gas such as constipation? I would like to reassure you that gas is not necessarily a problem, it's mostly that your baby is constantly relearning how to digest as he grows I suggest that you stop feeding more often (3 to 4 times, no problem!) to help him burp. It is also recommended to keep him upright for 20 minutes after the feedings to help him reduce the gas Homeopathic products have not proven to be effective and I do not recommend them. I hope I have been helpful to you, and if you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to contact me Tom Samaha, pharmacist Considering his strictly liquid diet, I do not recommend Lax-A-Day until he is 6 months old. I encourage you to continue the measures you have already put in place, and to continue to encourage your little one to drink If he drinks, wets his diaper and otherwise looks good, no need to worry :)
