Baby is so hard to wind, any advice?
My 2 week old daughter is nearly impossible to wind and she seems to be in so much discomfort it really upsets me. I'm trying infacol at mo but it's not working. Mw said something about dentinox but I've never heard of it-is it just the same as infacol?
Any tips on getting her wind up would be greatly appreciated, though I seem to have to tried everything short of swinging her round by the ankles!

Wind problems are also related to colic by the way although theres nothing you can do apart from colic/wind drops (dentinox) it should sort itself out as they get older!
Fin did carry on being in pain when feeding and after also about hour after i investigated and it turned out he also had silent acid reflux which he was infant gaviscon for in his milk! the symtoms of this are very similar to colic/wind but then noticed clear acid liquid dribbling out of mouth!
So go get some dentinox tomoz, if you can afford it the dr brown bottles are fab - boots, mothercare sell them!
oh and hv did say dummy can help sooth them - we did this in the end!
oh and when they are in pain with wind they actually suck the bottle more as at the time it coforts them then as soon as you pull away it hurts so you end up over feeding then they feel poorly!
i'm sure you've tried everyway to bring up wind but over the lap rub, pat then sit up quickly over your shoulder pat rub, or sat on your knee... this only started working more when using dentinox... other thing is after feeding put upright in bouncer etc.. for half hour rather than laying down!

We also tried infacol which took a good week or so to kick in.
Putting him down to sleep in his moses basket with it raised at one end helped him to sleep too when he still had trapped wind.
It will get better! x
I'd totally forgotten about gripe water so thanks for that! Used it with my first baby and it did seem to help.
Lol at the hula-hooping, I try that position as well! Plus every other imaginable one, but it's usally when I stop trying that she lets it out!
