Colief - trapped wind?
Hello,
my LO is now 19 weeks and feeding is still such a struggle, we have tried numerous different methods and given diagnosis of Reflux and Colic.
We are needing to wind after each ounce and it can take an hour or more to get 4/5 ounces in.
Currently using Infant Gaviscon and Infacol but am considering trying Colief since many people have deemed ut' a miracle cure. Does Colief help the relief of trapped wind?
Any experiences welcome.
Thank you

Pumpkin Pie, have emailed you - Thank you for your kind offer! Although it made your little one constipated, did you see an improvement on the colic/wind front?
I went to the chemist who said to try colief after we had already tried infacol and gripe water without success, he said it sounds like LO has colic.
After looking into colief, it is actually for lactose intolerance. It works by breaking down lactose in the milk making it easier for the baby to digest, this is why if you stop using it you have to withdraw it slowly. I only started using it last night, so if it works it would seem that LO actually has lactose intolerance and not colic, and if it does work it is prob colic in which case my Dr has said noting will help (not what i wanted to hear!).
Just thought i would share this info, if colief does work it is worth trying to get it on prescription (something else i found out when i googled it lol).
Really hope something works as i know how heartbreaking it is at the min with our lo x
Hope you find the colief helps, I'm pretty sure we're past colic now, but hope it helps you. We're also going back to our osteopath as she really helped us with similar problems when he was 4-9 weeks, he's 15 weeks now.
You should keep in at them since his weight is affected to push the appointment. All the best.
