How long does the gas last?

[chlobo]

I can't stand it anymore - it's inconsistent & painful. When will his gas end? He's currently 9.5 weeks. Sometimes he sleeps comfortably but when he's uncomfortable its awful.

I came to ask the same question. My 9.5 week old has incosistent and painful gas and it is wearing on me too.

I'm hoping he'll grow out of it my the 12 week mark....

My daughter still has gas, at 9 months, but it hasn't seemed to bother her since the time she was about 2 1/2 months. What a wonderful day that was!! It will come for you, too! And you will be so happy!! The longest I have ever heard of a baby having painful gas is 5 months, but it could stop any day!! Have you tried homeopathic remedies? There is one that seems promising, although by the time I found it we didn't need it anymore. I don't know if I'm allowed to post the name of it here, but maybe you can send me a private message and I'll get you the name of it. For my daughter, the only thing that worked was taking her into the shower and holding her close while the warm water ran down her back.

DD had is bad until about 5 months. Sorry. And she was VERY restless until 10 months. : BUT, I didn't know about Hylands Colic tablets, which I would definately try. I also didn't know all the foods that she could be sensitive to. I cut out the obvious ones, but things like corn, I never thought of. She has no sensitivities now, but perhaps when she was little she did? I would try an elimination diet. And the tablets. HTH

With us it was definitely a matter of figuring out the food sensitivities and eliminating those foods. I know it's a hard road you're on. Don't give up.
