I need help! EBF 5 week old with wind...

HotSprocket · 29/05/2010 18:31

...my baby is 5 weeks old and has always had pretty bad wind, but it seems to have got worse over the past few days. She is EBF. She will cry after feeds (for up to 2/3 hours), squirm around and sick up alot. Its horrible to see her in pain and not be able to help

Have tried infacol for 2 weeks, doesn't really seem to have made much difference.

HV suggested colosyth. Does anyone know what the best way to give it to her is? It lots of tiny balls which hv said to put on her tongue, but the bottle says it can also be dissolved?
She also suggested i take it myself then it will travel through milk.

Any tips would be very appreciated

if it's trapped wind in the guts then a trick that the Cranial Osteopath showed me worked a treat on DS. Lie your DD on her back, hook your thumbs behind her knees and gently raise them towards her chest. Move them slowly from side to side and hopefully a very satisfying ppppffft will emit.

Ta
She does seem to just sick the infacol back up sometimes. I'll look into dentanox.
And i'll try the leg thingy.
