windy baby after breast feeding

[josiejellybean]

Can anyone help? my baby is 6 weeks old and im breast feeding her, she feeds very well and latches on well, but after feeding she seems to get terrible wind and it takes her so long to get rid of it, i've tried putting her in different positions to try and get rid of it but she just seems to hold onto it for so long, and ends up very distressed any tips?

Have you tried using infracol before her feeds. That does really help them to get rid of wind, Also check what you are eating, some food like broccoli, cabbage etc may affect your milk and can make babies very gassy.
