Infants Friend??

[suzy454]

Hi ladies,

Just wanted to know if any of you other mothers used Infants Friend for wind pain etc? Ewan has been quite a difficult baby (to say the least) crying not stop for about the last 6 weeks and we had tried loads of other colic/wind remedies to no avail. I decided to try Infants Friend and it really works a treat! He isn't as grizzly and is sleeping for longer periods as well. What I really wanted to know is it ok to use with every feed or is that overdoing it? It just really helps him, but I don't want to abuse it, if you know what I mean.

Thanks in advance,
Nita

Hi,

Infants friend was the ONLY thing that worked on my daughter so I highly recommend it!

HI there,

When my baby girl was a newborn she had terrible wind and would cry for ages. Infant friends was a lifesaver. I used it for every feed for quite a while, and then I cut it back to when she needed it. I don't think it would hurt your bub as it is natural. Good luck and I hope things continue to get better!

I have just started using Infants friend on my little boy as he screams when he passes wind, even more so he is on it. Has anyone else this problem?

It's fine to use with every feed but I found if I used it every feed it lost its effect after a while and didn't work as well.

my MIL had a foster baby who was from a drug mother, Infants Friend was the only thing we could use on him to settle him, especially when he was going through withdrawals, we used it on the bub from the age of about 4 days old (when MIL got him).

my MIL used to foster, she would just come and visit us with the kids on a regular basis or we'd go visit her - so I got a lot of time with various kids with differing issues (she was an emergency care foster parent) like drug withdrawals or being abused etc

don't know what is involved, she no longer does it

Hi,

I tried infants friend and it didnt really do much for my DD - I also tried the brauer colic relief which was bit better and all natural. You can also make up a cammomile tea (just dip the teabag in hot water to give it a slight colour -its the main ingredient in most of the wind relief tonics).

But I did take my DD to a chiropracter and all her wind/colic pain stopped after 3 sessions, and she started to even sleep through the night from 7wks.

If Infants Friend is working for you, then stick to it

We used it before a feed - about 10mins before. It worked really well. Then the circumcision dr suggested Donnalix Drops, and that worked much better.

I would recommend both, maybe the Donnalix for the worse wind (if that makes sense).
