Hi firstbub,

I would continue to feed bub when she is hungry. At 4 weeks you can use something like infacol before a feed to help disperse any wind. But there are other things you can do; youcan gently massage her tummy in a clockwise motion, slowly but firmly make bicycle motions with her legs (as though she is riding a bike), push both knees towards her chest at the same time and hold them there for a few seconds (do this firmly but gently). This should help with the wind. I also found having a shower with DD helped - kind of like a massage I guess.

Cabbage, garlic, peas, beans (as in baked beans) can all contribute to wind.

The rash I can't comment on without seeing. But my advice would be, if you are concerned about it, see your GP. If the rash is spreading at all - seek medical attention.

It is not uncommon for babies to vomit after a feed and may not be related to the wind. She may just be taking more than she actually wants and so bringing up the excess. If it isn't bothering her (the vomiting), I wouldn't worry about it.

HTH
