Gassy Babies Best Formula: Enfamil Gentlease Review

For those of you that had fussy gassy babies like I had, there is hope. After experimenting with different bottles and switching from Enfamil Newborn (Enfamil Newborn Infant formula Tub, 0-3 Months, 23.4-Ounce) to Enfamil Infant (Enfamil Premium Infant Formula, For Babies 0-12 Months, 23.4-Ounce), I finally found a formula that made Damon less gassy and therefore less fussy. This formula is generally the same price anywhere I have gotten it as the other formulas. It honestly helps with gas. I highly recommend this product.

Gripe Water: for Gas? Hiccups? Crying?

Damon has been a pretty gassy baby, but not necessarily in a bad way. He did, however, get really bad hiccups and would get fussy from gas occasionally. I decided to buy this to help. It cures hiccups instantly. I have not seen it really work with gas too much, but he has not had too many issues with that. If your child has really bad hiccups I would recommend it; however, it is not always easy to find. Amazon does have this one (the one I have) and several other brands.

Gerber Bottles (for Moms on a budget)

These bottles have been great the past few weeks. We had to add cereal to Damon's bottles. Instead of spending a lot more money to buy the 3+ nipples for avent, we decided to widen our own and use these bottles which can be as cheap as $1.50-$2.00. They work well. They don't make him gassy, and I don't freak out about losing them since they are not $8/ bottle.

Favorite Featured Item of the Week for Baby: Huggies Jean Diapers

I LOVE these diapers. They are not only as good as any other Huggies diaper I have used, they are adorable. They are the same price as the normal Huggies (even cheaper sometimes because they are on sale). Also, proceeds go to help diaper babies in need. Stylish diapers that help benefit a good cause....definitely worth my time and money! The other benefit to ordering through Amazon is that you can sign up for monthly deliveries, and they will take a percentage off your items.

Bright Starts Bounce Bounce Baby Activity Center

Okay, so I was a little skeptical when I first saw the price of this, but so far the price is definitely worth it. It was relatively easy to put together (mommie did it all by herself!). Damon loves it! The bottom reaches his tippy toes now, but he likes it. All the toys on it he can reach- at only 4 mos. They are all pretty fun, and only one piece on it uses batteries. I would definitely buy this over and over again. Worth every penny. For this price I could also get a door jumper or two for the same price as most activity centers.
