Infacol is very good although needs time to work. The best bit of advice I ever got for a windy/colicky baby is when burping the baby push the middle of their back so they are sitting up straight, this helps the wind to come up much more effectively than when they are slouched. Just straightening them up can often do the trick without having to rub back. Good luck

My son was extremely windy as a baby, infacol was pretty good and I just had to spend hours winding the little dude.
He brought up a couple of burps as big as Barney off the Simpsons. I couldn't believe my ears!

Gripe water. I found that laying the baby over my sholder and pating his back seemed to help makehim pass wind and ease off the pain a little. Also maybe the cuddling and contact with me was the main reason for calming himdown. Good luck, it will pass as baby grows older.

Babies are like this until about 6weeks old. make sure the bottle teat is ok. The ones from M----Care are rubbish and the baby finds it difficult to suck, draws in air and thus gets wind. Use a Maws, they're the best. Wind the baby half way through its feed.
Hold her/him over your shoulder and pat his/her back. Most of all don't leave him/her to cry on its own. You'll see a difference in a couple of weeks or so.

Infacol didn't work for my daughters i had to use COLIEF drops from the chemist (or boots), quite expensive but worked a treat. I also tried gripe water and that didn't work either. Personally i'd try gripe water, then infacol and Colief as a last resort due to price.
Good luck x

My mum always used to cure my son of this by holding him under the arms, while supporting his head in her palms, hold him out alittle infront so his legs could dangle and stretch, this used to ease the pain in his stomach, or lay him on you stomach to stomach and rub up his back with alternate hands, if genly rubbing stomach, slowly rub (in clockwise direction as your baby lay flat in front of you) I never used the infacol or gripe water, or try cool boiled water.

sounds like colic, ur baby is 1 mnth old now so u can try gripe water also u can try infacol its realy effective it worked on my daughter, secondly roll up a blanett and lie baby on her belly, place the blanket under her belly hopefully then the position shud help pass the wind and ease the discomfort.

Infacol is brilliant, it takes at least 24 hours to kick in but once you give that, all the little sweeties pains will go away, its simple to give, on dropper before each feed, its magic.

Massage his/her tummy gently in circular motions, try gripe water, if formula fed change it to a formula that is easy for digestion, try burping baby in between feeding as babies do suck in air if bottle is not held to a certain angle. Or buy anti-colic teats as this may also help :)

We changed my daughters milk with my 1st one to cow and gate omneo, that helps.
Also change his bottles to angled bottles, there a life safer, they dont swallow the air the same as the bottle is oin the right postion.
I never found infacol helped, but its worth a go. The bottles i would def reccomend.
