Even more wind :-(
My Daniel Bach has been unsettled at night for about a week now Although he brings up great big burps when he's feeding, he sems to like to hold on to the last bits for a good 2 hours !! We're using Infacol, but bought gripe water yesterday (he doesn't seem to like the taste of that... but I'll kep trying it)
ALthough he seems to sleep through his discomfort, mam and daddy don't !!! Trying everything people can suggest ....
Although wind does give him a bad belly during the day, obviously it's not as much as a problem as it is at 2/3am as he can be moved / played with to move and release the wind. I propped the moses basket up the ther night, it worked for a bit
A very tired Katy and Daniel (7 weeks)

Love to you and the men of the house xx
The deep warm bath at night does help. Hubby does the bath with her so I give him 1-2 oz of ebm to give her in a bottle while she is in there. I used to bf my son in the bath too when he had colic and it helped cos they are more relaxed and their tummy is warm.
Persevere with the gripe water. Lili hated it at first - and anything else i put in her mouth that wasnt my boob!! - but now she seems to love it and it certainly helps for those times when she is in pain during or after a feed.
You are over halfway now before this nasty business disappears. Keep going! xx
Hope things are getting better for you. Just wanted to say that Charlie used to suffer with really bad wind, we too tried gripe water, infacol etc etc but they didn't have too much effect.
However, he is now 13 weeks old and we aren't having any more problems! Just hang in there for a few more weeks! Here's to a peaceful night!

Thanks ladies xx
