My baby is fussy during meals and has gas pains; then he stops eating. Does fixing the gas bring back his appetite?

Meal fussiness and gas colic are common in babies. Gas causes discomfort, so he stops sucking or eating midway, gets fussy, and then becomes too tired to feed well, leaving him undernourished over several meals. Once gas is eased (upright feeding position, frequent burps, warm compress or gentle bicycle kicks), he relaxes and appetite usually returns. If fussiness lasts several meals or weight gain is affected, check with your pediatrician—sometimes reflux, allergy, or colic is at play.
