Could baby cereal be causing gas?

Answer by  mhope1987 (60)

Your infant could have gas for any number of reasons, but the thing that you should focus on is diet and burping practices. If the child is eating new foods, it could be the cause. Anytime you feed your baby you should burp him or her which will minimize gas.

Baby cereal can definitely cause gas! Some babies will have a lot of gas when they first start eating cereal, and others will continue to have trouble with it.

Yes. If your baby's digestive system is too immature to handle the cereal then it could cause all kinds of gastrointestinal distress.

Yes, certain cereals can cause a babies tummy to produce gas especially when first starting. My suggestion is to try switching brands or mixing it with a fruit or vegetable.

Baby cereal should not be causing gas. The infant maybe suffering from colic. Baby cereal is made to a standard that is required by law.
