sybil wind seems to be the issue of the day here, and I do wonder whether jamie just had bad wind? A full feed on top of a big air bubble would be enough to send the vom flying! Storm managed to send hers half way across the bed when I once put her down without winding in the first few days...
Also, if he really gobbled that would probably be enough to do it as they take in so much air when they do that.
Re the baby yoga position - I think you just literally bend their knees up to their chest gently and back down again a few times. Think of it as how they would look if they were able to stand and then squatted down. Haven't had much success with that one myself.
There's also the 'tick tock' method - hold LO firmly under the arms and support their head and neck with your fingers. Then gently sway their lower body - you need to make it a bit of a game as I think it's a little uncomfortable. Probably no good if they're mega wrigglers.
Or sit them on your lap and, again supporting their upper body fully, twist their torso slightly to one side and then the other.
Or hold them over your forearm, head in the crook of your elbow, and massage their back gently - this sometimes produces incredible farts!!!
Or, if the wind just won't shift, I lie her on the changing mat or under her mobile or in moses basket for a few minutes - often when I pick her up it then comes out.
Storm does get bad wind, and we did have real difficulty putting her down to sleep last night because of it. In the end DH managed after two attempts, but I'd already tried six times and was at my wit's end.
I think sometimes having DH take over helps as, if she has wind then her tummy hurts, and that feels so much like hunger that she asks for food, which then starts the vicious cycle again. Having someone without breasts take over means she sometimes forgets about that option - which if she was genuinely hungry she wouldn't.
Also, I always wind Storm during a feed as soon as she gets 'fussy' rather than trying to get any more in her. Sometimes this means every five minutes (like this morning) which is intensely frustrating, but it does work.
I also think wind can take a bit of time to come up, so perseverance is the key - walking up and down stairs with her on my shoulder sometimes helps.
Phew. Didn't realise I'd got so many tips until I just wrote this. But really, sometimes nothing works and I end up crying with frustration!
josey glad to hear olivia didn't protest too much at the bath! So hope you can take her home soon.
