Giving Infacol to 3 week old

2 replies

I'm trying to give my 3 week old DS2 infacol as he gets terrible colic in the evenings and seems very distressed with trapped wind for hours on end. He is EBF and only able to swallow when sucking so if I just squirt infacol in his mouth he tends to either cough/choke or push it out with his tongue. I've tried putting it on my nipple but it just goes everywhere. How do others give their 3 week old infacol successfully?! Help!

My eldest if out it in her cheek as far back as I could. Half would end up swallowed and half would come out so I'd just squirt, feed until let down, unlatch and another squirt in the cheek then let her suckle for comfort.

They do get better at swallowing over the next couple of weeks so it gets easier.

Put it inside a bottle teat and give to him when he's laying down or in your arms to suck
