Please help !!
I have a 12 week old dd and she has always been on infacol as she struggled with wind ... but recently it's stopped working as well so have tried gripe water .
And I feel it's just as bad if not worse !! Does anyone have any advice on what to try next ?
I may add she's always been good burping it's just the farts lol sorry !! .. but she's now struggling with bottles as she doesn't want to lay down ! I've also tried various massages !
Please help :)

It's terrible....both of my DD's had it but I always fed Hipp Organic anyway. I got some Dr Browns bottles...which did make a big difference. There's a special valve in there to reduce the air flow....this might sound obvious but are you feeding her sitting up as much as possible? And are you spending a good long time after each feed winding her?

Sleeping lion hold is also fantastic.

DD was terrible for trapped wind at the lower end.

Reverse cycling her legs lying down and then pushing her knees (quite firmly) up to her chest helped a lot and would most often achieve some noisy wind!

If its any consolation it resolved itself (although not quite entirely) once she was crawling.

She's currently using the mam bottles x I will try the reverse cycling today thank you !
