My 13 day old daughter seems to have colic and this has been confirmed by the health visitor. I am giving her Infacol before every feed and have now been advised to give two droplets instead of just one prior to every bottle.

I have read (but can't remember where) somewhere that different types of bottles/teats can help ease the colic, does anybody know anything about this. All suggestions are gratefully received.

Health visitor has also suggested: massaging tummy clockwise, paddling legs like riding a bike, a warm bath, if all else fails take baby for a drive.

Thank you, I am on the Tommee Tippee closer to nature slow release bottles and I read somewhere that if they are on faster release teats they don't suck up as much air by sucking hard to get the milk out. I'll have a look for the Mam bottles in Tesco then.

Last night I did the leg cycling thing for at least half an hour, producing lots of lovely trumps and she actually slept from 1.00am until now, this is a first as she is usually up from 1.00am until at least 6.00am.

Thank you.
