Can you add mylicon to formula

I have been giving my son Mylincon for a couple weeks now, because he has lots of gas. I have just been putting it directly into his mouth, instead of putting it in his bottle. Does anyone put it in the bottle? If so, do you put it in with just 1 oz as it says on the label or do you put it with however many ozs you are feeding your baby? I've done it 3 ways: put in 1 oz of formula, in however much I was making and directly to the mouth. I prefer the latter, as sometimes she won't take the whole bottle.

I have not used Mylicon, I have used Little Tummys gas relief drops because it came in a kit I bought. Anyone know which is better.. I just give it into the mouth. I have never mixed it with a bottle. They can be reached at Retail prices vary by retailer and ounces purchased.

You can do a quick Google search to see where the best, most affordable place to buy them is near you. Mylicon can be safely and effectively used by infants and children. For infants under 2 years old and 24 lbs, 0. Kids 2 and older and over 24 lbs should receive 0.

Just be sure to always use the Mylicon dosage device that comes with the bottle to measure out the correct amount. Our gas drops come with an easy-to-measure, easy-view dosing syringe. Simply shake the bottle to mix the formula. Then, follow the dosage instructions on the package and measure out the correct amount. Your baby will instinctively swallow it. Or, you can mix the gas drops into 1 ounce of cool water, baby formula, breast milk, or other suitable liquids.

Just be sure to clean the dosing syringe after every use and to recap the bottle with its original cap. Mylicon is safe enough to give to your infant at every feeding, up to 12 times a day.

Use only as directed. There is no time limit. However, if your child experiences symptoms frequently or severely, consult your pediatrician. If your baby has received more than the recommended dose, seek medical help right away or call the Poison Control Helpline at Of course! Help your baby swallow less air by slowing the flow of liquids from his bottle into his mouth.

Trial and error with different bottles and nipples tends to be the best approach. Try stepping up your burping efforts by burping during, as well as after, each feeding. You can help get rid of unwanted gas by simply laying your baby flat on his back and moving his legs in a bicycling motion.

Better yet—give him some tummy time. Simethicone gas drops such as Mylicon, Little Tummys gas relief drops, and Phazyme are thought to be safe to give—as often as 12 times a day, if necessary—and many parents do just that.
