Mylicon (gas drops) question!!

[TigerGalLE]

Hey girls! Does anyone have any experience with using mylicon? I gave it to my LO for the first time Wednesday night and then gave a dose Thursday morning and one last night too...... He is EBF and I swear the mylicon made his poop GREEN! And his poop smelled different too. Like a sickly sweet smell. My LO smelled like this all day yesterday, even after a bath.

Has anyone noticed gas drops making their LO’s poop change? Or making them smell funny? I can’t say they even really worked that well. He hasn’t had a dose since last night and now his poop is getting back to its normal mustard/seedy color.

Idk if I’m gonna give him gas drops anymore. He has had such a hard time with gas this week though. Not sure what the deal is.

Hmm.. I use them. My LO sometimes has green poop, but she's combi-fed and I assumed it was from the iron in her formula! Regardless, my pediatrician told me that green poo is generally not something to worry about.

I do think that the drops work. They help my LO burp. She has reflux and has had some issues with trapped gas, so I plan to keep using them.

We used it for every feeding for LO until he was about 2 1/2 months old. He loved it . It was part of his feeding. His poop was normal, just sometimes the greenish. It helped LO bunches.
