My baby is 10 days old and the last few days is struggling with her wind to the point she's knackered cause it's keeping her awake, I've been trying gripe water etc but she's struggling to do the toilet as well and I've seen a thing called windi to help them pass wind has anyone used this?? Or know anything else that can help
I've tried the usual massaging cycling legs etc

Gripe water should be used till older than 3 weeks.
infacol can be used from birth

How is she fed? She's too young for gripe water so stop giving that. Have you spoken to your HV?

Shouldn’t! Stupid autocorrect

Giving her age I'd use infacol, burp frequently, and keep going with tummy massage and bicycle legs.
You'll find once you start bathing her that will help with her going to the toilet

Please stop giving her gripe water.

Ask your mw or hv for advice. If breastfeeding a different position may help, or feeding little and often rather than waiting fir her to cry. If bottle-feeding maybe a change of formula. It is unlikely it is really wind though, lots of young babies are unsettled as newborns,

Ask for advice on here and this is what you get hit with.. all I was asking if anyone had advice! She is my 2nd baby so I know what I'm doing and I definitely know my own baby it's not just cause she's a "newborn"
Learn from my mistakes
Thanks for your judgment!
