Colief and kendamil drops

3 replies

Hello,
Has anyone got any experience with colief or kendamil drops with their baby? My baby girl is 4.5 months old and has always had trapped wind. She also spits up after feeding when I burp her and most times about an hour later when she is asleep she is sick. When that happens I pick her up and wind her and she nearly always burps so I think it's due to trapped wind. Infacol helped a little but then made her more sticky, the same with dentinox colic drops and gripe water makes her more sick when burping her after a feed so thought I would give colief or kendamil drops a try or is it better to just ride it out? I think she has slight reflux, she arches when feeding and is sometimes upset during a feed but that is usually due to trapped wind and if she has mild reflux which the HV thinks she has it is the one that many babies can have and they outgrow it
Thanks in advance

She is gaining weight well, about a pound every 4 weeks, she did drop from between the 50th and 25th centile down to 25th and the HV doesn't think she needs medication such as gaviscon as weight is ok, she's quite long, 67cm so is a good size which is why I also feel she may not need gaviscon

Colief worked wonders fot my babies trapped wind and constipation
Would stay away from kendamil - i used the formula which the resulted in babies jssues

Another vote for swapping formulas. I'd move away from Kendamil altogether as there are so many threads like yours.

I would also try a Comfort style of formula as it will be more hydrolysed, making the proteins more easy for her to digest. Maybe Hipp Comfort or SMA Comfort.
