One of the most common and exhausting problems in infancy is undoubtedly gas pains. Especially during the first 3 months, when the digestive system is not yet fully developed, restlessness, abdominal pain, and crying spells are frequent. So, what are the main causes of these pains and what can parents do?
Let’s take a look!
Causes of Gas Pains
Here are the typical causes of gas pains in babies:
- An immature digestive system
- Swallowing air (especially during breastfeeding or bottle-feeding)
- Changes in feeding patterns
- Gas-producing foods consumed by the mother (in breastfed babies)
- Emotional stress or overstimulation
During this natural yet challenging process, it is possible to ease babies’ discomfort and lighten parents’ burden. Turning to natural support and establishing a proper daily routine are key.
Natural Ways to Relieve Gas Pains
Now let’s take a look at some of the natural ways of relieving gas pains in babies:
1. Abdominal Massage: Gentle Touches with Tummy Twinkle Roller
The My Oh My! Naturals Tummy Twinkle Organic Roller, made with 100% natural ingredients, helps disperse gas and soothe the baby when gently applied clockwise to the abdomen.
Enriched with organic essential oils such as lavender, ginger, spearmint, and chamomile, it not only provides a calming effect but also supports digestion.
Its practical roll-on format makes it easy to use anytime, anywhere.
2. Warm Bath: A Relaxing Bath with Tummy Twinkle Bath Bomb
For babies with gas problems, a warm bath relaxes abdominal muscles and creates a soothing effect.
The My Oh My! Naturals Tummy Twinkle Bath Bomb takes this a step further. Formulated with edible-grade ingredients, it offers both a fun and relaxing bath experience with its natural essential oils. With baking soda, citric acid, and coconut-based foaming agents, it provides safe cleansing and comfort all in one!
3. Gas-Relief Exercises
Gently moving your baby’s legs in a cycling motion or pressing them softly toward the tummy can help release gas. Performing these exercises after applying the roller can yield even better results.
4. Consistent Feeding and Burping Routine
Ensuring that your baby burps after feeding is crucial to prevent swallowing air. After every breastfeeding session, the baby should be kept in an upright position until they burp.
