wind

[KatyR]

I am EBF my 10 day old baby and he seems to get terrible wind. He takes a long time to settle after a feed and often burps, spits up, farts and poops in order to relieve the wind. I hate seeing him appear to be in pain with it.

any ideas on how to either stop him getting wind or tips on how to relieve it for him ?

Devyn gets it pretty bad too, the doctor said it is normal and he will grow out of it. You can do belly massage in a clockwise circle and bicycling his legs to help him pass some of it. We have recently started giving probiotic drops and they seem to be helping

Oh and of you have an overactive letdown that can make it worse. You can try feeding him in a reclined positionso he doesn't swallow so much air.

You can always try Infacol before a feed, which is suitable from birth. It helped our little man during a bad windy phase at 1 month old.
