Re: Re: Very gassy after being casted

Our nurse said it's partially due to repositioning of the body.??? My son is in

his 8th cast. Sometimes he has burp/gas issues sometimes he doesn't. We just let

his teacher know in advance he wasn't being rude:)

When logan was first casted, we used Mylacon drops. That seemed to help him. We

also put Logan's changing table pad in his crib. It was spongey, so it helped

him with comfort with the cast. Turning over was a little tough in the beginning

for him, but he learned his own magic move to help him flip. No that he is 2 we

still use the changing table pad for washing hair at the sink.

Mommy and Daddy's I need your advice yet again!

Ella (5 1/2 months) was just casted for the first time this past Monday. She is

VERY gassy now. She burps a lot as well. She isn't throwing up or having

diarrhea (she is having slightly runny stools though).

Did anyone else have a child experience these things after receving the cast?

Could it be because of the anesthesia or her body just adjusting to the cast?

The thought of it being too tight is looming at the back of my mind...

My heart is just breaking for her. She's unable to sleep more than an hour or so

before screaming due to gas cramps. Not to mention she can't get comfortable

because of the cast.

Any thoughts are appreciated,

Pressure from the cast espically after meals. The key is more frequent smaller meals and mylacon drops if its really bothersome. mom to IsaiahSent from my Verizon Wireless 4G LTE DROID Very gassy after being casted

We dont want to have her screaming because shes hungry. Momma certainly doesn't need that extra stress. As long as she isnt puking after feedings let her nurse. Use gas drops if shes gassy and in pain from it. I didnt realize she was exclusively nursing. Basic rule of thumb for everyone. If things seem fine...steady as she goes! Your doing great momma! mom to isaiahSent from my Verizon Wireless 4G LTE DROID Very gassy after being casted
