have you experianced this with your little one?
i feel really sorry for my little one, :cryhe hates being winded and tense up when i try to. every night betwween one and three she seems to be in so much pain, she screams crys and nothing i try will stop her.i gave her a dummy which settles her for a while she will fall asleep for a few mintues then start scraeming in pain again.should i just leave her to cry in her basket? (i feel so cruel if i did but nothing i do seems to help) or pick her up and hold her close. its horrible seeing her in so much pain. anybody got any tips or ideas of what i could try to sooth her? thanks

My lo had very bad wind when he was first born and I would spend hours winding him and most nights he just wouldn't settle! Some midwives said not to use anything like infacol as I was bf and some said it would be fine so I used it for a week and it made such a difference - he brought up his wind almost instantly and now he winds really well after 3 weeks of no infacol. Occassionally he wakes up in the night with tummy ache so I just rub his tummy which generally settles him - other than that if he's really bad I lay him on my chest and pop him back in his basket once he's settled.
Good luck!
i also walk up and down the stairs with him lol! seems to move it. ...or play row your boat when having a cuddle....
hope this helps

I've given it to Amy since she was about 2 weeks old and we now have no trouble winding her and she doesn't get distressed at all.
I also fine that standing up with Amy on my shoulder and firmly rubbing her back seems to soothe her and bring her wind up really quickly.
Hope this helps

A lot of people have been recommending something called coleaf (dont know if this is the right spelling?!). Its about ??9 over the counter but apparently you can get it on prescription. Hope this helps
So infacol & gripe water didn't work so we tried Dentinox Colic stuff which didn't work and he didn't like the taste of (he loved infacol & gripe water taste!) so i bought so colief, it's like having a different baby, he's happy and contented for most of the evening, until about 10pm when he has bed time bottle (bf rest of time) and he's now a pleasure to have, i was starting to get really stressed and upset as i coulnd't stand seeing him in pain, but no more, we started colief on friday and since saturday he's been brilliant. Pharmacist here told me i could get them on prescription but sil said her dr's wouldn't do it, but i'm with a different surgery with a dr who's very much a "if they need it i'll prescribe it" even gave me gaviscon when pregnant which most dr's round here won't do.
Sorry, i've rambled a bit, it's a need for adult conversation! oh is on lates this week and i'm lonely as Philip had an early night!
