I have heard and been told many times to try baby massage so i think i might look in to it!! I see that you are in WA, do you have any recommendations on where i should go?
Thanks Melanie and Aniejade for your replies.
Aniejade - why do you think the stomach calm is for older babies? the website says to give 'infants' 1ml..
I might give it a go. I know it probably wont get rid of it but worth it if it helps DD not be in pain.

I dont have anyone that I can recommend in Perth for baby massage...sorry
but I do run regular new mothers workshops in Perth, which include baby massage, mother and baby yoga, and education on all things new baby...for more info you can have a look at my web page
a really simple technique you can use to alleviate wind...
firmly, but comfortably, hold your baby's calves and gently bend her legs at the knee so that her knees move to her abdomen...hold for a count of 6...and then gently bounce her legs down, supporting them the whole time...repeat a few times..
this really helps relax their belly and helps with the peristalsis of the gut to remove the wind
standard baby massage has many benefits..which i wont go into now...but i have a list on my baby massage page
