Wind!

[PinkPalace]

hI there!

I had people try the cyling bike trick... bringing the knees into the belly and out again like a bike ride.

It works but DD didnt really like it - so what we did was hold her to do litle squats on our lap... made it fun like jumping! and it helped a lot.

Also tummy time as the pressure on the belly pushed her farts out! lol

But she still does ripsnorters now... doesnt bother her like when she was a bub though

Hi there, i did a baby massage course a few months ago and there is one where you start on the baby's right hand side (at the bottom of the hip - basically where the intestine area is...) and stroke upwards along the inside of the hip bone, then across the pelvis area, then back down the inside hip on the left. it worked really well for DD (with wind and constipation). the premise is to gently get things moving in the intestines....

HTH!

My Dr today suggested a couple of sips of cooled weak chamomile or fennel tea for bub might help to get things moving along, and help pass wind... She suggested something like 20 -30 ml in a bottle, or sip from a cup or spoon...
I haven't tried it yet, instead I am drinking them to see if they pass through my milk and help.
It is so hard to see bub in pain.

I'm in the same boat, my three week old suffers from tummy/wind pain mid feed, it's worst at night. Just wondering on the cooled boiled water remedy, when would I give it to her? When the wind pain starts? Before I start her feed? She is breast fed....

Thanks
