Struggling to wind at night

[CountryGirl36]

We have a 10 week old LG and we are struggling to wind her on the night feeds. She will go to bed at 7pm and we wake her at 11/11.30pm to feed for the night when she will wake at 6/7am. She is on infacol for wind and has been since week 2.
After her 11pm feed we struggle to get any wind off her - last night we were up at midnight and she didn’t go back to sleep til 2am 😩
We have tried all ways to wind upright, tiger, bicycles etc. Does anyone have any ground breaking ideas? If we can’t get wind up she just won’t settle.

To be honest, the only thing that often worked for DS was DH accidentally joggling him while walking him back along the corridor.

Or not having a muslin handy for a spit up. That usually worked a treat

Try laying her flat for a few minutes then lifting her up on to your shoulder - the movement from horizontal to vertical seems to help us.

(I am really sorry you are struggling with wind, but my, slightly younger baby is feeding a lot more throughout the night - so I have to admit I am slightly jealous!)

Do you struggle to get wind out of her when she first goes to bed at 7?

Why don't you try putting her to bed much later? When you and partner go to bed at 11/12. She might then sleep right through till morning and then you won't need to wind her in the night. No actual advice on getting wind out though, sorry! 🙃

Health visitor told me trying to wind baby sometimes makes problem worse. Sometimes baby will bring up herself.

Is she breastfed? I never really got much wind up from either of mine and I think it was linked with them being breastfed.

I had this with both of mine and it was the bane of our lives, however with DC2 I was kind of expecting it so just knew I had to ride it out. Gripe water helped us quite a bit, and lying baby on their side while rubbing their back, cycling legs, tummy massage etc but I’m afraid for us it was just a matter of time and their tummies maturing. Good luck I know how awful it can be

One position which always worked a treat for us was to put baby so their back is against your chest, then hold her hands and raise her arms up above her head. You need to be sat quite upright or it won’t work. Bonus points is that it works better if men do it, no boobs in the way, you roll over and go back to sleep while DH sorts it

DS was BF and definitely did need winding. Unless latch etc are perfect all the time, air can get in, e.g. when gulping due to a fast letdown etc

Thanks all. She is FF. will try all your suggestions!
