If she struggles without it then buy some more.

Is that ok noble? to just keep buying and using it?

She isn't at all inconsolable like most colic babies are described but she is obviously struggling to burp and is very windy but not pooing as much as she was.

I just want to be sure in doing the right thing x

Have you heard of "Care At The Chemist"? Essentially a service to help people avoid seeing doctor for something a pharmacist can help with.
Things like (own brand) calpol, sudocrem and infacol are available for free once you've registered.

Interested in this thread?

Yes it's fine, DS was on the bloody stuff for months, we had bottles of it around the house.

Doctors can't do anything special for windy babies. You could try baby massage and google the tiger in the tree hold.

we used it for about four and a half months then he seemed to get better a being winded and getting a burp out on his own!

its fine to use all the time. we also had several bottles on the go! upstairs, downstairs, change bag!!

Yeah, just keep using it. Frankly anything that helps a windy baby is worth a try and if t helps even marginally then keep going. Was great for my dtd, did nothing for pukey dts.

Thanks all!!
It may sound stupid but I assumed only bottle fed babies had colic! Confused
