Veronica - if you got the colic mix from the Padbury pharmacy you give it after a feed. Oh, and I got more "bottom burps" from her with the colic mix than I did "normal" ones but hey so long as the wind is out, out is out!

My little girl was (and still is) very windy. Almost always blue around her mouth. Like you, I had heaps of difficulty getting wind out of her and felt like I was bashing her black and blue trying for so long until her paed finally said to me that if you don't get the wind up in 5 minutes its not coming!! She is now 3 months and is much easier to wind so unfortunately I think it is just one of those growing things and until your little girl is a bit bigger and better developed internally it may be an ongoing problem. I found elevating the cradle/cot like you said worked really well, as well as holding her upright after her feeds for at least 10 minutes.
