Neopeptine drops for infants with gas

Okay, like I said that the baby's loose bowel motions got sorted by Bonnisan, the other helpful miracle we had with the gas was Neopeptine.

This is apparently something with digestive enzymes, and it really helps cut the amount of gas discomfort the baby goes through. Unfortunately, it took us a while to discover how to use it.

So, if you are using Neopeptine for infant gas, here are some tips, which we wish someone had given us:
  • You have likely been advised to give Neopeptine only for extreme colic, like we were. This makes you tend to wait for quite some time before the baby's screaming forces you to use it. Don't wait. Use it at the first sign of gas.
  • If your baby is suffering from gas, don't give doses only when he is in pain. Give them for a day or two, as long as you aren't giving him more than three times, though we have given him four or even five doses once on the first day, when he was in a lot of trouble.
  • Give the drops before feeding.
  • Neopeptine helps baby move the gas easier, but you can help it along. Give drops, burp, feed, burp, wait for some time, burp again.
  • Moving the baby's legs will also help him pass gas, which will not hurt your situation.
Have you used Neopeptine? How did you use it? How was your experience?
