Baby is ebf, 8 weeks old. On Saturday we started her on infacol for her windiness - no fussiness on Saturday or Sunday evening so it looks like it worked! But on Sunday evening my breasts got really overfull. Thinking about it, she fed for slightly shorter length of time at each feed on Sunday afternoon and napped longer too. Overnight and this morning felt really overfull too. Any ideas?

Hello. My baby is quite windy and often feeds as a way of getting her bowels moving/the wind out. At times of decreased wind she loses this motive for feeding - so perhaps feeds less. This might be happening with yours?
Did you notice your baby chewing fingers/squirming/taking nipple for wind before?

That would make sense. She often chews her hand (thought it was sign of hunger) and squirms around - less squirming last couple of days. So I guess she's been feeding less and my breasts need time to adjust?

If you've permanently cured her they will adjust. If like my baby she is windy on and off it will be up and down for you!
