Gas after coming home
Did anyone else's babies have really bad gas after they got home from the NICU? My twins are 10 weeks old and they were 8 weeks premature. They are constantly grunting and arching their backs and uncomfortable. Having difficulty passing gas and sometimes burping is difficult too. They were never fussing the NICU though. I'm trying to eliminate any causes of such bad gas, like if there's something in my diet that's causing it.... But wouldn't that have affected them in the NICU as well? They have been getting pumped milk this whole time.
Hi! I experienced this exact same thing.. as soon as we got home my little one started doing this. We eventually discovered he had CMPA and as he was breastfed I stopped having any dairy and we also had to stop the fortifier in his milk that we had started in NICU. I think that the timing for me was a coincidence and it had just taken that amount of time for his digestive system to become damaged. By process of elimination we have discovered that he is intolerant to a few other things too, but it’s so worth it. Within a week we were sleeping for 2-3 hours stretches… it was 10-15 mins max before. Hope this helps! X
