Formula-feeding Mums, question about comfort milk!

[kitcat]

My little one is 3 weeks old and he is incredibly windy (you can actually hear his belly gurgling) and gets upset about going to the toilet (for a good few hours before). When he fills his nappy it is always a violent ejection!! Also classic knees up, red face etc.

I bought some comfort milk to see if it might make him less windy/colicky but from what I can see written on the forums - its more intended for constipation? Will it upset his tummy/nappies even more?

Anyone got any advice?

Try something like Infacol first and see if it helps him bring his wind up better

Also try rubbing his tummy to relieve him, my LO gets trapped wind, gas and is constipated, a tummy rub really helps him relieve himself of trapped gasses!

Yeah have tried all that (dentinox) but it doesn't seem to help him

We had the same with our lo. Comfort milk was a godsend only just switched him back to stage one as no longer needs the comfort milk. We tried everything beforehand found infacol seemed to help a little at first but then made him very constipated. Gripe water also good once lo is 4 weeks or older. Hope you find the right combination for your lo its just awful seeing them like that. X

Hmm I too would go for infacol, it does take a good week or so to make any difference though.
Comfort milk is great for constipation but may well cause an explosion if your los stools are loose already, as it turned my babies hard poos loose enough! Always an option to try though if the infacol isn't working. You can always go back!
