SOOTHING YOUR BABY’S SENSITIVE TUMMY

When your baby is having tummy troubles, such as gas and spit up, more often than not, it’s not something to be terribly concerned about – but you do want to get informed and be prepared.

What could make a baby’s tummy so sensitive in the first place?

It’s certainly not uncommon for newborn babies to have tummy discomfort in the first few months of life. This is often due to their small tummy size and still-developing digestive system.

Some things that might help include:

• Frequent pausing and burping during feeds;
• Experimenting with different feeding positions (notably, sitting baby upright);
• Using a formula for fussy babies.

Similac offers two formulas that may help soothe your baby’s upset tummy.

Similac Total Comfort^TM, our tummy-friendly and easy-to-digest^† formula may help. With gentle, partially broken down protein, Similac Total Comfort^TM just might do the trick.

†Similar to other infant formulas.

Similac^® Sensitive^® Lactose Sensitivity could help if your baby’s discomfort is due to lactose sensitivity.

Give it time

This is all new for your baby – and for you. You both need a little time to adjust.
