vwey windy 8 week old ff baby. infacol makes no difference. at end of my tether. can anyone help?

[VictorVictoria]

title says it all. anyone really made any progress with this? my ds was the same and we never really solved it and it just faded at 16 weekish. any ideas about how I manage it better this time? and it seems to get worse from 8-12 weeks if ast time is anything to go by

Have you tried Colief? My friend (baby ff) switched to Colief as Infacol wasn't helping and she found it much better.
You just need to add it to his milk, you can buy it from the chemist.

Holding baby over your shoulder, with both arms over your shoulder too, is supposed to make winding easier.
Saw this on the baby whisperer!!

are you bottle or breastfeeding?

both my DDs were like this, it is exhausting i know so lots of sympathy.

if you are bottlefeeding or mixed feeding, i found these bottles good dr brown's

if you are breastfeeding try totally cutting out caffeine and drink fennel/camomile/peppermint tea. it took some getting used to but it really did help. I also gave DD2 some camomila from a homeopath which i am sure worked too, though you never really know!

i found gripe water to be better than infacol. i never really got to grips with colief as i mainly bf or gave ebm, so getting a few drops of colief into a bit of milk was difficult and pita.

Maybe try a cranial osteopath? would definitely recommend it.

Colief is a faff, but seemed to make a difference to my dd, it is available on prescription too (I think its about £9 a bottle to buy). I'd second the dr brown's bottles too. Baby massage helped a bit, but the only guaranteed way to help her was to take it in turns lying dd across legs on her tummy and rubbing her back hard (dh was better at this than me, think he put more pressure on or something!)

colief worked for my ff bsby, but friend who was breastfeeding didn't find it any good for her wee boy.

am formla feeding - yes think i will try colief. it is so tedious and so miserable for her and me. weirdly the night feeds are fine but during the day she screams and arches her back and every feed takes well over an hour and it always a battle. Which feels all wrong.

Our dd was exactly the same Victorvictoria, Night feeds were lovely and sleepy, but during the day i could barely give her an oz over an hour and she would scream the whole time - it was hell, you have all my sympathies! Like your ds it did get better around the 3 month mark, although we didn't do what our dr advised, which was to wean at 16 weeks (!)

Another thing that seemed to help, was for the day feeds, she was happier if we fed her sitting in a bouncy chair or car seat.

I hope thing improve for you and your lo

screaming and arching her back - have you seen your GP, she might have reflux. I don't know much about it but i have friends whose babies had it, baby Gaviscon worked wonders.
