Aiden is quite the little 'fluffer' as well. Mostly when he is feeding.
It is very interesting what you have said about the difference you have found between infants friend, and infacol. I am using infants friend. It does seem to settle him and help with the burps & fluffs, but, i wonder if infacol would work abit better?
I really only started to use the infants friend about 3 days ago, but, only when i desperate.
I read somewhere else, either here, or in one of the information books that i got from the hossi, that 10 -20ml of warm water is also apparently good for wind. I give Aiden that now, mixed with teh infants friend. He has had it 3times over last night and this morning, and he generally goes from screaming to resting (not sleeping) in an instant.
The fluffing is certainly normal. If she is not really waking up with it, it is probably not distressing her too much. I would give it another couple of days to see what happens - it might settle by itself.
If you think she's distressed, certainly small amounts of warm water wouldn't hurt - it stimulates the bowels. Otherwise I guess you could just experiement with changing the timings of feeds, although that might cause more problems. Truly, if it's not distressing her, I would tend to let it go. Their digestive systems are so immature, it can take time for the bowels to get used to different things. Usually I find after a couple days of lots of fluffing a BIG poo results and it settles for a few days. Then it might start all over again. I really think it's pretty normal.
