You might want to speak with your doctor about prescribing Zantac for Reed. I had two babies with reflux and gas, and it did help. It's awful to deal with because you do feel helpless. Seems that many babies' digestive tracts are not quite ready for prime time! It'll be better over the next several months (yes, it could take several months). Best of luck!

See http://www.organicfacts.net/organic-oils/natural-essential-oils/health-benefits-of-peppermint-oil.html Easiest way for a nursing mother: YOU drink peppermint tea 2-3x a day. Alternative: brew some mild peppermint tea, cool it, and give Reed 1-2 ounces before a feeding. Good luck -- he's adorable! Peppermint for digestive problems: an old/effective remedy.

A few ideas for the gas: 1) You might try putting yourself on a lactose-free diet. http://www.drgreene.com/21_836.html http://www.themomcrowd.com/going-dairy-free-for-my-baby-guest-post-from-vanessa 2) Express some milk before each feeding so Reed gets less foremilk, more hind milk. You may have already found these tips from googling but I thought I would pass them along. Oh, I’m so happy to see this little guy, he is beautiful!!
