infacol & cluster feeding

[dacosta]

do you still give infacol before every feed if they are cluster feeding or just every 3 hours?

I used to give it 3 hourly as I was really worried about him having too much of the stuff - I thought it was terribly sweet. My husband would have shoved it down his neck at every opportunity though lol.

why not try dentinox instead? Its similar but works on a single dose basis as opposed to having a culmalative (sp?) effect like infacol; so dentinox can be given just when your baby is being fussy and still works really well xx

not heard of dentinox for wind, just for cradle cap! where do i get it? is it okay for 5 week old?

yep the dentinox colic drops are suitable from birth; for all of mine I have even given it just before my milk comes in on a couple of occasions because I find they get a bit gassy just from the colostrum. The company actually made colic drops first then branched into other stuff; also their colic drops taste of peppermint and are not sweet at all, most pharmacies and supermarkets sell it, I believe we mainly used to get ours from Tesco xx

you can also give up to six doses in 24 hours and it is fine if these are close together, so if your baby has a mega burp to get rid of, you don't have the worry of only being able to give one 2.5ml dose and it not working xx
