Ok so My hubby was nice enough to bring a cold home from work last week. Apparently its going around his office.
So My 2y/o is just fine. My 2 month old however got sick. (YAY)
So it started about a week ago. Cough, fever, sniffles etc.
I took her to the Dr. he said that she has a little virus, gave me instructions on nasal sprays, humidifiers etc. Other than that he said baby Tylenol every 4hours as needed.
Ok so, The last couple days my lil girl has been having tummy issues now. She seems to have a lot of gas that she is having a hard time releasing.
She will cough until she gags trying to fart. No more fever, no weird lung sounds etc.
I stopped giving her the tylenol because I thought that might be the cause.
Oh by the way, my lil girl is breastfed only, & my eating habits haven't changed.
So my question is, has anyone every noticed a baby gettin tummy aches from Tylenol?
The gas is very typical. Since she is breathing through her mouth and not her nose she is getting more air in her tummy. Keep using the Tylenol or baby Motrin and add the gas drops. It will help get rid of the gas. The baby gas drops are safe enough for newborns.
Sure they can get tummy aches from anything new. Equally likely she has some mucus drainage going to her tummy from her cold which can cause extra gas and poop issues.
Hope she's better soon! :) Glad the fever's gone, that's scary!
I've never had a problem with tylenol and tummy problems. But when my babies had gas, I gave them a little fennel seed tea. Poor thing.
My girl friend SWEARS that the tylenol makes her daughter more gassy and constipated. I did not personally have that problem but she is convinced its the meds.
I have not noticed that...but if it continues and you'd like to look up different remedies for when sick, check out these ones and hopefully it helps:

I know that my son was a gassy baby. I had to give him baby "gas-ex" drops. Sorry I do not know the name of the drops. I know that I bought them at Wal-Mart in the baby section. My son was breast fed until he was 18 moths old.
Hope she is better soon.
