I really feel for you as my lo was the same. Infacol didn't work for us but the water did. My lo only had a few sips and wouldn't take any more than that so don't worry about quantity. Have you tried lying him on his tummy on your lap and rubbing his back gently? Or rocking him back and forth when you have your hand under his chin sitting on your lap? They worked best for me. I just feel i'm forever winding my lo... bless them they must get so fed up with it lol!!

infacol is good for colicy babes but windy babes are different. personally i have found gripe water fantastic at bringing up burps. xx
I'm not being funny Hayley but is it definitley wind? I thought my son had it worse than he did but he was actually p!ssed off with all the patting and rubbing! I've since found out he likes to be left to fall asleep afterwards even if only for 10 minutes. I'm sure you know your baby and aren't as daft as me but I made a bit of an issue out of wind which wasn't actually that bad. Hope that helps xx.
