Sorry - reposting. My friend is giving her 3 week old regular enemas to deal with gas. Is this safe? [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

I would gently suggest to her that she may not want to do that. Obviously I'm not a doc, but it can't be that good for such a young baby. For gas, suggest Mylecon (however it's spelled). For constipation we added dark corn syrup to formula. [ Reply | More

Have you asked your ped? If you are sincerely concerned, then why not ask a medical professional? [ Reply | More

enemas don't even make sense in the situation (let alone the safety issues, etc). They are used to treat constipation, not gas-two entirely different things. [ Reply | More
