It's understandable to be concerned about your 38-day-old baby experiencing discomfort and difficulty sleeping at night. In Ayurveda, excessive gas and discomfort in infants can often be attributed to an imbalance in their digestive fire or Agni, which is common in newborns. Here are some suggestions to help alleviate your baby's discomfort.
Firstly, ensure that your baby is burped properly after each feeding to help release any trapped gas. You can also try gentle tummy massages in a clockwise direction to aid digestion and relieve gas. Using warm, not hot, compresses on the baby's tummy can provide soothing relief. Consider incorporating fennel water into your baby’s feeding routine; fennel is known for its digestive properties and can help reduce gas. To prepare fennel water, boil a teaspoon of crushed fennel seeds in a cup of water, let it cool, strain it, and offer a small amount to your baby if your pediatrician approves.
Additionally, ensure that your baby is in a comfortable position when feeding. Laying your baby in a more upright position during feeding can help reduce the likelihood of swallowing air. If your baby continues to experience discomfort, consult with a pediatrician who specializes in Ayurveda for personalized advice and remedies that are safe for infants. Always prioritize your baby's comfort and health, and don't hesitate to seek guidance from healthcare professionals for reassurance and support.

For a newborn experiencing gas, discomfort, and sleep disturbances, gentle Ayurvedic remedies can provide relief. Digestive issues in infants often stem from an immature digestive system and may be linked to Vata imbalance, which can cause bloating and pain. A warm oil massage using mustard or coconut oil in circular motions on the abdomen can help release gas, while a tiny amount of hing (asafoetida) paste (mixed with water and applied around the navel) may also ease discomfort. Burping the baby after each feed and offering supervised tummy time can help move gas through the digestive tract. A warm compress placed on the stomach may also be soothing. For breastfeeding mothers, avoiding gassy foods like beans, cabbage, and broccoli can sometimes reduce the baby’s symptoms. Always consult a pediatrician before trying new remedies, as a newborn’s system is highly sensitive, and professional guidance is essential to ensure safety.
