In this episode of The Baby Fact Check, new dad Greg Foot is joined by trusted experts to fact check some of the most common pieces of social media parenting advice around newborn gas: “If your baby has gas you’re either not feeding them in the right position, or you don’t burp them enough.” “If mum is breastfeeding, what she eats can cause her baby to be gassy.” “The best way to get rid of baby gas is a combo of gripe water, special teats and medicine.” With help from Professor Afif El-Khuffash (Rotunda Hospital, The Royal College of Surgeons, and The Baby Tribe Podcast) and Nina Morley (Cambridgeshire Community Services NHS Trust), Greg explores what is really going on in your baby’s gut, why parents are so often encouraged to buy their way out of gas, and what can actually help when your baby is uncomfortable.
