My girl baby born through c section. She is 39 days old as of today. She is having trouble releasing gas because of which she keeps crying and get up from sleep. I am giving gastica drops whenever she cries uncontrollably for longer time. She is havingvtrouble passing urine as well. She cries a little before passing and then calms down. These two issues are disturbing her sleep a lot. And I am observing that her back and stomach is hot sometimes whereas hands and legs are of normal temperature. When measured temperature at forehead with a strip thermometer it shows 98.6+.5 deg. The stomach and back feels really hot and it fades away in sometime. This phenomenon is observed in the morning for two days and has started tonight as well. What should I do?

Hi lybrate-user, gas trouble is commonly seen in babies upto 3 months of age continue to give gastica drops. You can also give digestive drops to reduce gas trouble. Burp for 15 mins after each feed. Baby cries befire passing urine is normal in these age so do not worry. Temperature 97. 5to99.4f is normal. Do not bother about if baby's back is hot. Burp well and give only bf. No need to worry.

She is breastfed baby or on top feed, if on breastfeeding mother need to take care of her diet and whenever feeding your baby, position of her chest should be upper than abdomen as well as back massage to be given after every feed to release air from abdomen. For any details can connect with me through Lybrate aa well.

All this symptoms are commmon in babies of this age 1.for excessive crying -u need to do burping properly each time after feeds and rub the tummy gentlly with coconut oil if she is trying too much. Sometimes taking the child to fresh air in balcony or terrace or playing some rhyme for them or talking to them helps in distracting. 2.most babies cry before passing urine in early infancy, this is just like we feel urgency to pass urine, so need to worry about this.
