Can my diet be causing DDs wind?

[Ghostie]

Hey, my DD is 12 weeks today and she is a really windy baby. She was quite colicy at the start and we gave her infacol, which seemed to help and she is now a lot better.

We are still giving her infacol, but she is still really farty (despite trying to spend plenty of time burping her) and it disturbs her sleep at night (and thus mine!) When I got her weighed by the HV she said that the wind is linked to what I'm eating. Does anyone have any experience of this, or give me any ideas about what I could be eating to cause her wind? I am BFing, but have started giving one bottle of formula at her 10pm feed. But the wind was the same with or without the formula.

Any advice would be happily recieved.

I have this problem too, but don't know how to solve it, don't think it's my diet though.

There's some useful info on kellymom

You could try and cut out caffiene for a day or two and see what happens. I switched to de-caf tea and DS was much better, he was a few weeks older though at the time.

The other thing you could try is talking to a bfing counsellor as they might know some tips that your HV might not have thought of.

HTH.

Are her poos mustard yellow or are they sometimes greeny coloured?

Try keeping a rough food diary for a few days. We had this problem with DS and realised that it was after I had eaten spinach! He still gets really farty now when he eats it (he's 2.2) so it really was that.

If she is generally windy though, maybe it's to do with how she is feeding? Does she take in loads of gulps of air?

Thanks for the advice, I really can't think of anything I'm eating like spinach. I think it might just be that she's a guzzler and gulps in lots of air when she feeds.
