Infacol doesn't work

[lasma]

Hello everyone,

My 3 week old baby has gas in her belly and every time she wakes up she screams like crazy trying to push it out! It also affects her sleep and mine.

Our health visitors suggested Infacol but it doesn't work at all. Have you got any suggestions? What has worked for you?
Any help much appreciated!

Dentinox worked for us!

Get a baby probiotic. Worked for mine.

Infacol can make reflux worse, so if you have any suspision that your baby has reflux or silent reflux, coming off it may actually help.

Dentinox!
Infacol was rubbish for all 3 of mine. Dentinox worked instantly!

Colief drops helped my second ds. He had bad colic /gas.

Infacol never worked for us but dentinox worked wonders

Try gripe water?

Hiya, I was recommend colief drops on Mumsnet and its really helped my little boy. He will be 3 months in a few days and is much happier. I believe one of the ladies said if it does work you can also get in on prescription from the doctor as it is a bit expensive.

So sorry to hear that you're both struggling.

If she's screaming with wind, has she been checked for Tongue Tie?

Could it be reflux?

Gripe water!

Agree with gripe water!

I found gripe water so much better

Another for gripe water!

And if you are bottle feeding, you can just add the Dentinox to the bottle

Infacol is a placebo for patents to make them feel like they’re doing something (I know from experience). In our case the only thing that worked (after trying dentinox and gripe water) was time.

Infacol worked for mine so not sure this is true. Just because it didn't work for you doesn't mean it's a placebo.

It didn't work for my ds. Gripe water didn't work either. Nothing did.

Infacol didn't help us either. DS1 got instant relief from Gripe Water though.

Nothing worked for me and I tried them all infacol dentinox gripe water colief. I have very windy babies they do grow out of it though x

Tummy massage and bicycle legs

I used infacol, dentinox and gripe water in their bottles at the same time 😬

Didn’t work all the time, but did reduce it quite a bit. Other than that, tummy massage, bicycle legs and (weirdly) lying DS on his side and lifting his leg up towards his tummy - he’d had to have a hip scan just after he’d been born and he let out the most stinky loud and long fart ever!

This, every time.
