71. Digestive Discomfort in Newborns

Wind, gassiness, burping, back arching during feeds and squirmy sleep - what is up with newborns and their digestive system?  Let's break down the research and what we know about our babies digestive system. 

In todays episode we cover:

• What symptoms you might see in your baby.
• When this is likely to occur, and when it gets better.
• When it's a good idea to see your midwife, lactation consultant IBCLC or GP. 
• Causes of gas and digestive discomfort in babies.
• Ways to support your little one through the digestive discomfort and unsettled periods. 

You can book a Lactation Consultation with Hannah (in home or tele-health) here.
