Hey ladies, sisters! I'm totally new here, I thought colic and gas would start later... But for us, it all began on the third day. They didn't give us any helpful advice at the maternity hospital, just saying it's normal and we have to endure it until two months. The only thing they did was start giving him boiled water when he started crying in the nurses' arms while I wasn't around (the nurses insisted it calmed him down). So, what helped your little ones with their tummy troubles? And how long did this period last for you? 😵💫

Are you breastfeeding or formula feeding?
Alternate Espumisan and Baby Calm + a warm compress on the belly. Belly massage, "bicycle" leg exercises

Ooh, congratulations on your birth 🤗🤗🤗♥️
Breastfeeding or formula?
Is skin-to-skin not helping?

Tummy massage, dill water, simethicone, a warm diaper on the tummy. My daughters suffered so much ((((((

From the recommendations: tummy massage clockwise, bring legs to the tummy, carry in 'tiger on a branch' or 'Buddha' positions. Lay baby on their tummy more often. Espumisan Baby 5 drops. If breastfeeding, the diet isn't strict at first, of course, but fewer gas-producing foods.
But honestly, it didn't help my kids. Only time did.

These are just gas pains for now. My youngest had them too starting in the hospital. BabyCalm helped. For colic, try a warm diaper on the tummy and a little massage.

A baby warmer, or warm a diaper and place it on the tummy. Warmth helps a lot

Ruzanna Thank you so much 🙏
At the maternity hospital, I had a C-section. For the first night and part of the first day, he was almost entirely on formula because we were separated due to my condition. The last few days at the hospital, I fought for breastfeeding and to prevent the medical staff from pushing formula (sometimes they succeeded), but now I have less milk, perhaps because we're just establishing breastfeeding, or maybe due to stress and lack of sleep 🤷️. A nurse friend gave me a formula feeder, but I still plan to supplement with my own expressed milk (we don't use nipples or shields).
I haven't tried skin-to-skin yet. At the hospital, nobody paid attention to our tummy time, and I'm afraid to organize it myself without help because I can't carefully lie down on my back from a sitting position due to stitches in my vulva(
My friend shared that it helps them, so after work today I'll ask my husband to help 🤧

Yuliya We were breastfeeding, but at the maternity hospital, they gave formula for every little thing. My son spent the first night and morning in the nursery. Then at night, they started feeding him formula because he wasn't latching and was losing weight. They would take him away periodically because of my condition; the gynecologist insisted I needed rest sometimes, and the nurses would feed him formula during that time. Thanks for the advice! 🙏

Ruzanna You'll decide how you want to feed your baby, which can be hard on their tummy and might cause more tummy aches.
