Trapped Wind - 6 week old

Hi,

I was just wondering if any other mums have experienced trapped wind at only one certain feed, my little boy struggled with wind when he was first born, but infacol and comfort milk have definitely stopped that. But the last few days he seems to get trapped wind at his 8pm feed. Just wondered if anyone else has experienced this?

Lay him over your lap on his belly. Rub his back. Put a towel on the floor under his head in case he burps up some milk.

Best feeling ever is cycling their legs until they fart!

The other thing which may help is a bath bucket. When they go in their legs are ticket up and the warm water may help to release the wind.
