Preventing Gas in Your Baby

Soothing a fussy, gassy baby can be much harder than avoiding the problem altogether. Learn about a few ways to prevent gassiness.

Burp Your Baby after Feeding

This may seem like a no-brainer, but you want to make sure that your baby is burped thoroughly. It’s also helpful to keep them upright for five minutes after feedings.

Avoid Eating Certain Foods

Paying attention to what you eat can make a big difference. These foods are usual gas culprits:

• Broccoli
• Onions
• Spinach
• Chocolate
• Citrus fruits
• Milk

Use the Right Bottle

Some baby bottles are specifically designed to make babies less gassy. Make sure to look for this claim and to read reviews.
