my poor little mini is in so much pain everytime i feed she has screamed herself hoarse and i'm going slighty mad. she is 6.5 weeks and having tackled the problems caused by over production of milk, she is now able to feed healthily, but suffers from terrible trapped wind every feed. It was reccommended i use infacol, but at the end of the third day i'm not sure its working yet, i'm hopefully perservering but wondered if i could use gripe water at the same time, because that does seem to work.....

Infacol needs to be used before the feed and takes a while to build up effectiveness.
Gripe water is for when LO has trapped wind.

DS1 used infacol.
DS2 needed gripe water.

Not sure if both and be used together. I would presume its ok.
