Ooh, poor bubba. We had brilliant results with Infant's Friend. It's all natural, smells nice and worked miracles for us.
They sell it in most chemists, now.
Lots of luck x

Have you considered Chiropratic care? My Chiro specializes in babies and reducing colic.

Hope bubba is better soon

colic or reflux?

My kids were breastfed, so it wasn't an option for me, but I do know that there are some formula's out there specifically for babies with reflux. I am not sure how effective they are???? But probably worth a shot. Go into a chemist and have a look and a chat to the pharmistist.

I second the suggestion of trying a chiro. Worked wonders for missy's reflux and she had a fair bit of wind too which has been sorted. Also the infant friend is awesome!

I just saw a chiro yesterday, he was able to recommend foods for me to avoid while bf, as well as adjusting ds to try and stop the reflux/colic. He said dairy was a common trigger so changing to the soy formula should help. Its awful seeing them in pain isn't it.

My bub was 3 weeks when I found out she had colic and silent reflux. For the colic I was advised to add a baby probiotic to her formula as the colic was due to an immature digestive system well as giving her infacol before her feeds. For the reflux I gave her S26-AR as my doc advised there was no point in giving my bub S26 Soy if there was no history of lactose intolerance on either side of the family . The combination worked wonders. I also found laying her over my knees patting and rubbing her lower back for 10 minutes got out any remaining wind. I was also told good things too about visiting Naturopath's & Chiro's, but it wasn't necessary after I added the probiotic, S26-AR & Infacol. But time is the best medicine. My bub is now 4 months and a lot happier.
