What baby’s body is trying to tell you
Fussiness & Uncomfy Gas
Fussiness and gas often go hand in hand. As baby’s digestive system is developing, they might experience discomfort associated with excessive gas.
Learn more about the signs, and get some feeding techniques and other tips that might help soothe baby.
Crying & colic
It could be colic if baby cries for long periods for no apparent reason and don’t respond to the usual comforting methods. Don’t worry, mama! Colic is quite common among babies. It usually starts in the first few weeks of life. However, experts don’t know what exactly causes most cases of colic, but it seems to occur at a similar rate in breastfed and bottle-fed babies. It may be related to not having enough good bacteria in the digestive system. Colicky babies have different kinds of bacteria in their digestive system than babies who don’t have colic.
Occasional hard poops
It’s uncommon for babies who haven’t started solids to become constipated or have trouble pooping. It’s normal for some babies to turn red or grunt while pooping. However, if you’re formula-feeding and baby is experiencing hard or hard and dry poops, it could be time to make the switch to a Gerber Formula with Comfort Proteins®. Babies who receive formula with easy-to-digest whey proteins often have more soft and fewer hard poops. If you think your baby is constipated, has trouble passing stools, or seems to be experiencing pain while pooping, talk to your pediatrician.

Spit-up
Spitting up after feeding in healthy babies is common, and should decrease as their digestive system matures. Baby will probably outgrow spitting around the time they can sit up.
Learn the difference between spit up and vomiting, and find some tips to help reduce excessive spit up here.
Skin rash
Baby’s skin is sensitive and can be affected by his environment and what they eat. Skin rashes are often one of the the first signs of a food allergy.
Signs to look out for:
- Itch bumps, blisters, or very dry skin
- Skin is red to brownish-gray and may leak fluid
- Often found on cheeks, forehead, or scalp
Learn more here and when you should call your doctor.
Weirdly-colored stool
Pay close attention to your baby’s poop! Baby’s digestive system is going through a lot of changes—so generally, changes in color, consistency, and odor will happen often, especially when you start introducing solid foods. However, if there’s a sudden change, it might be time to consult your pediatrician.

All Gerber® Good Start® milk-based formulas have small and easy-to-digest Comfort Proteins®.
