Gas, is it something I'm eating?

[momma E]

my 1 week old seems to be suffering from gas. Over the last 24 hours she has been grunting a lot, crying, spitting up more, and seems generally uncomfortable until she finallt passes gas.
Could this be something I'm eating or is it just her newbie digestive system?
Any suggestions on how to make her more comfortable?

If this goes on for a while, maybe you want to think about keeping a food diary to see if there is a pattern. But sometimes it is just, like you said, the newborn digestive system adjusting to getting up and running.

I've heard that a tummy massage can help...look it up on line to see exactly how to do it.
