Are there any home remedies anyone can recommend?? Her tummy is hard to the touch and she is crying like she is in pain????

How old is she? Does she seem constipated, or do you think it's just gas? I went thru it all, so let me know...I'll keep an eye out for your post.

Are you breastfeeding or on formula? Do you know about exercises to make the gas go down a bit?

It WILL get better, I promise. You just have to get through this now, and I know how bad it feels. It is NOT your fault, but we may be able to give you some ideas if we know more. Your baby's tummy just isn't mature enough to handle much. DS had allergies to formula, and sensitivities to things I ate. DD just ate too quickly - she was exclusively BF.

Try Gripe Water (I use Wellements Gripe Water for Colic). It is great for upset tummy, colic, gas, vomiting - pretty much anything including teething. It is organic so its very natural and it has always worked for DD. You can search "Gripe Water" at drugstore.com and see what product I am talking about. I am able to find it locally at certain stores that have a nice homeopathic/organic section.

Oh I feel for you! We went through that with Bob and tried everything we could find and nothing worked.

I had never heard of Gripe Water so I never tried it, but I did try the Mylicon drops and they didn't seem to work for us.

Have you tried moving her legs up and down. Bend her knees and push up. Sometimes worked for me. Also laying down and sitting up over and over. Good luck!

I forgot about the "bicycle", but that would work well too.

Maybe a bath might help soothe, but that depends on if your baby likes baths or not too. Mine is a water baby, so a bath always makes something better.

Mylicon is different than Gripe Water. I never tried Mylicon as I tried to stick to natural stuff if possible.
