Please share tips for helping a VERY windy baby

[ohlordylord]

We -

• ff
• wind him half way through and at end of feed
• use infancol and gripe water
• know the key positions to wind him in (leaning him forward, over shoulder, or use Tiger position when he's windy, and hold up him upright for a while after feed)
• massage him
• do bycycle legs with him

Yesterday he had a mad mad fit of crying, worse than he's had before. I honestly thought he was really ill until he let loose a HUGE chain of farts, so loud and intense, I thought he was having a massive poo.

Don't want to go through that again if I can help it. He's 10 weeks. Any additional thoughts?

I found dr brown bottles to be a big help

Osteopathy helped. After just one session. Could it be the formula you're using?

change his formula?

Do you feed him upright too?

Thanks all

We use Dr Brown Bottles
And I've taken him to a cranial several times and yes, it has helped - he had his jabs this week since the last appointment, so maybe that's added to his grumpiness?

We do feed him upright

Never thought about the formula - that's a good thought

A warm mini heatpad on the tummy helps my DD. I have a small rice/lavender heatpad I made as a hand warmer and I put it on her tummy warm (not hot).

Maybe try colief in case it's a temporary lactase deficiency?

Sleeping tiger position helps my DD too.
