Belinda , yes i love infants friend too .. when ds was little we used it every feed as he had ebm and would suck in too much air no matter what bottle we used , but it doesnt seem to have the same effect on Gabriella ... i give it to her after big feeds and still takes ages for her to burp or sometimes not at all .. she farts heaps ... which cant be that pleasnt for her ... i think me and dh were banking on infants friend working as well as it did with ds , but it doesnt seem to be ..

also funny thing about I/F is that its made in the town i live in ( ipswich ) and no one knows where the factory is or how its made , its like a secret .. they have a web page but there are not many details on it ..

atm she is sleeping on her tummy and seems so setteld , the pressure must be providing relief for her , if only she could sleep like that at night we coul all get some sleep ..

oh and i bought some of those hydrogel things and they work well .. but its a bit of a shock when after a feed you go to put them back in and they are freezing !!! but they help with the brusing ..
charmalea Yep Chloe is the same, loves sleeping on her belly. She only does it though when she is sleeping on me if she is unsettled and today I put her on her belly in the pram at the shops as she was having pains. At night though she is on her back in the cradle. I have the mattress in her cradle elevated with some towels and that seems to help her but yes I'm now giving her IF after each feed and helps a little but not 100%.
Glad the hydrogel discs are soothing but completely know what you mean about the chill factor when you put them back in. hehehe

Went to the health clinic today and had madam weighed. 190g in 1.5 weeks so they were very happy with that. She is now 3200g. I am now reassured that me letting her sleep at night is fine and that she is getting enough from letting her demand BF. Will go back in 2 weeks and weigh her again to see how things are going.
