I have a 4month old son who suffers from incessant tummy ache which has been interpreted as Unbilical Cord pains. Ordinarily, its supposed to be controlled by Gripe Water but it's not helpful in my own case. Hot compresses don't help either. Not that its continuous but when it hits the boy its usually strong and takes away his sleep as well as mine. I thought it would stop at 3months but he's 4 now and it still hasn't stopped. Mothers, how do you tackle such in your babies?

A beg, where are all the mummies in the house nah?

firstly stop the hot compression only if your doctor says so, and give him prune juice if hes thirsty, not sure what it is it could be umbilical hernia wanting to form thats causing pain i know it causes pain at first especially after he eats and i know prune juice is good for babies with troubled tummy but dont hesitate to see your doctor

The pain is normal my kids went through the same pain it is from the enfamil milk. Personally I prefer the powdered one than the liquid. B/c of his age put a little prune juice in his milk not too much maybe a little bit more than a tip of baby spoon too much will cause running stomach on the baby with time the pain will stop. It could be stressful especially when you are new mum. They are developmental stages in a baby
