With a baby, you can sometimes get fussiness. When a baby gets fussy, it can be a hard thing for mommy. As a parent, you want to make sure that your baby is comfortable, and you will do anything to try and make things better for them. The thing is, when a baby is cranky and gets fussy, they can not exactly tell you what is ailing them.
Most of the time, in small babies, when they get fussy, it can be because they have some gas. One thing that I noticed from the first time I had my first baby when it came to those extremely fussy moments when it seems that you have tried everything, you turn to others and get advice, and in order to help your baby, you will take the advice and hope that it works.
One product that I remember learning about when I had Estrella was Gripe Water. I had tried different remedies when she would get real fussy, and one that really seemed to work was the Gripe Water. I found that not only did she not mind it but, it was also made of all-natural ingredients, and it is safe and effective. After my experience with Estrella and her colic, I learned that when I had future babies, I would keep some Mommy’s Bliss Gripe Water on hand, and I share my experience with others and recommend it as well.
What Causes Gas in Babies?
There are many different reasons why your baby may be experiencing gas pains. Take a look at some of the most common culprits:
1. Swallowing air: Babies tend to swallow a lot of air when they’re crying, which can lead to the buildup of gas in their tummies.
2. Eating too fast: If your baby is gulping down his or her milk or formula, this can also cause them to take in a lot of air. Try slowing down feedings and burping them more frequently to help alleviate the problem. One major cause of gas in babies is incorrect feeding techniques. If you’re bottle-feeding your baby, make sure you’re holding the bottle at an angle so that the nipple is always full of milk. This will prevent your baby from taking in too much air while feeding. Additionally, burp your baby often during and after feedings to help release any trapped air bubbles.
3. Digestive issues: Some babies have difficulty properly digesting certain foods, which can lead to gas and tummy discomfort. Common offenders include dairy

I wish I had known about this when my son was a baby. He had so much trouble with colic and gas. I definitely would have given this a try.
Oh, I wish I'd had that for my Emily. She was miserable.
Thanks for the info on Gripe Water.. catchy name by the way… My new grandson Corey is 4 weeks and by far the fussiest out of 12 grandies…. he seems to have gas constantly….I'll be trying Gripe Water very soon…
I think I heard the word Gripe water before but did not know what it was. This is a good thing for the poor little ones that have alot of gas and colick. We all need this at one time or another. thanks for the info.
I've never heard of this before. I wish I knew about this when my grandsons were younger!
