my baby suffers with bad wind he doesnt like grip water is there any thing else that i could use to ease it?

Answer 1

Gaviscon infants they come in sachets and you can buy them over the counter

They were a god send with my daughter, if I could of kissed the inventor I would of

cooled boiled water helps as well ............good luck xx

Answer 2

I was told to give my son a little cooled boiled water before his feed to help with the wind, but it didn't make much difference. I was also told to try a little peppermint cordial which can help release the trapped gas (bear in mind that this will contain sugar).
Another tip was to try bottles made by doctor brown which have a valve in them to avoid air getting to the baby.
My children loved gripe water though and practically lived on it in their first few months. Infacol is also good. Have you tried putting it in his milk?
If he is suffering badly lying him on your knee on his tummy will help, also a very gentle massage on his tummy could help release the gas!! Baby massage classes are very good and your instructor will show you the best way to do this.
There are so many tips but they dont' work for everyone. Persevere, you'll get there.
Good luck with finding your answer.

Answer 3

i used colief drops until he started his spoon feeding its great just add 2 drops to each bottle when milk is warm not boiling its an enzyme and wont work in temps too high i found it good cos your not trying to feed baby with a spoon too young as with most remedies plus my fella wasn't too fond of water colief got the wind up straight away its expensive tho 17 euro per little bottle i didn't care tho he ease was worth anything oh it doesn't taste any different in the bottle either good luck its hard pacing a floor trying to ease a poor little screaming baby in pain you can get it in most pharmacies

Answer 4

Homeopathic remedy Colocynth 6c. This is so good, some larger branches of Boots the Chemist sell it at the pharmacy counter. I'm a wee bit sceptical when it comes to these things but I can't tell you what a difference it made to my wee boy.

Answer 5

Try plain boiled water from a sterilised bottle. Use a fast flow teat, which will cause the air to build up quickly, and he will bring the wind up.

Answer 6

talk to your midwife or doctor try cutting his milk down during the day and instead of baby juice or regular juice give him water he might take some time to get use to it but persist when he gets thirsty enough he will drink it and dont think its being cruel giving him just water if it might help him with his wind you could also try winding him after drinks and meals its he crying alot with it? he might have a bit of colic so talk to the chemist aswell they are very helpful

Answer 7

Infacol works fairly well. A couple of my kids had bad colic & with the last one I went to see a cranial osteopath. After 3 visits she went from screaming at every feed to being a happy content little girl. I highly recomend it.

Answer 8

have u tried the infacol version it tastes alot better and thats the only 1 my baby would take...if so have u tried putting it into the babies bottle with there milk it is very safe to do this my midwife told me to do that hope he gets better soon the poor little mite

Answer 9

i used infacol and then went on to dentanox only because it can go into the bottle of milk and it takes all the air out of the bottle with my son and they done the job brill, u can get dentonox from boots for 2.50 and infacol from most shops and its about 3.20. good luck

Answer 10

i have just had a baby 5 weeks ago and she is very bad at bringing up wind. i started using infacol and it works wonders. i even had to use it on my twin sons who are now 2 and a half. so i recommend infacol.
