My newborn is very windy. I'll feed her, burp her and keep her upright for about fifteen minutes. Then I'll put her down. Then ten or
Fifteen minutes later she starts fussing. Pick her up and get more burps and farts out.

How do I efficiently do this before I
Put her down! Or tell that she might still have some wind in there (other than the obvious - I already have DC so familiar with the signs).

I had a similar thing with my last and couldn't confidently give him time to sort himself out and self settle
As I always knew there was a likelihood he was really uncomfortable.

I posted this on a another thread a few weeks ago... some others tried it and said that it worked for them...

If you are BF, it is worth getting latch checked by someone and also checked for tongue tie. If LO is 'clicking' when BF they are probably sucking in air.

^I do have a good winding tip!!
My baby was tongue tied and had dreadful wind until 4 months, screamed all day long, and my chiropractor showed me a really effective winding method.

Sit baby upright on your lap, facing away from you. (You may need to lean his back against your stomach to support him) Lean baby slightly forwards (lean forwards yourself if needed) and put your hands around his middle, with your fingers pressing gently just under his ribs. Then move his upper body in gentle circles, still leaning slightly forwards.

My baby always burps really quickly using this method. If it doesn't work, stop, do a few back-pats then try again.

Also, a thing called the Windii saved my baby hours of pain before we knew this technique. Google it!^
