Digestive discomfort aren’t always just “your baby being fussy.” Sometimes, the cause is hidden in everyday things like:
• Iron in formula
• Infant probiotics
• Vitamin supplements mom is taking
• Additives and ingredients that are difficult for a baby’s developing digestive system to handle
When a baby’s gut is irritated, gas and pressure build up… and the crying begins. But there’s something many parents also don’t realize:
✨ Bowel movements matter — a LOT.
Breastfed babies often have multiple bowel movements a day, especially while nursing. Formula-fed babies may only go every 12–24 hours. Some parents are even told it’s “normal” for babies to go 3–5 days without a bowel movement.
But in our experience, babies who p**p more frequently usually feel better faster.
💛 Helping your baby have at least one bowel movement per day can:
• Reduce abdominal pressure
• Ease discomfort
• Speed up colic relief
• Help gas move through the intestines
