Getting there but need some tips re. wind and nodding off!

[pinkpolkadot]

Hi all I think we are slowly getting the hang of this now and are much much improved down to 10 ish feeds per day from 18 ish!!!!

It seems we have a very windy LO and I was hoping you could share your tips on reducing wind/winding techniques (we are trying Infacol at present on MWs advice). LO seems too full of wind to finish her feed at times and so is hungry again soon after. She also struggles to settle after a feed due to wind.

Another problem is LO nodding off on the boob and then getting hungry again 5-10 mins later, please share your best tips to keep LO awake to finish the feed!

Thanks all

We have to use infocal too and be sure to use it before every feed and it will gradually help, to keep baby awake maybe strip her down to a vest? Or just keep tickling her face gently, rubbing her feet and face that sort of thing. I'm always fiddling with him to keep him awake!
