What’s the difference between colic and gas?

November 25, 2009 by admin 

They say that in order for a baby to have colic they cry endlessly…

However, my baby doesn’t cry, rather she makes pushing noises and gets red in the face then I bring her legs up to her chest and she lets out lots of gas, and sometimes poops…

So if she gas lots of gas and doesn’t cry, then it’s not the same as Colic is it?
No, she’s not constipated. She has loose stools because I breastfeed.

She does poop normally, and her poop is watery and yellow mustard color.
She is EXCLUSIVELY breastfed.

    well it sounds like she has bad gas or she is constipated. I used some gas drops called Little Tummies Gas Drops By Little Remedies. or you can also try the colic drops they also help with gas. And as for the constipation, if you feed her formula try changing to liquid ready made formula , the powder one tends to cause constipation. Or you can try to give her chamomile tea with no sugar or honey, if you want to go the natural way.
