Hello fellow bubhubbers..

I think my 12 day old DS has either reflux or wind but not sure how to tell the difference??

For the past few days I can hear alot of wind going on in his stomach and when I burp him he either burps (after trying for ages most times), attempts to burp but it gurgles in his stomach and chest, or he vomits. He hunches his back a few times throughout feeds (bottle fed) and brings his knees up at the same time. He doesn't vomit after each feed but does vomit around 1-3 feeds a day and it's always towards the end of the bottle, and I was told that accumulated wind causes vommiting which is why I don't know if it's reflux or wind? He doesn't scream like he is in pain or anything but sometimes grunts during feeds.

DD had silent reflux when she was the same age as DS but she use to get really upset during feeds and could never lie flat or sleep so she lived in a bouncer until Zantac worked it's magic!

So what do you think it is??

Id say wind.

If he's vomiting that last of a feed, id say he could be getting rid of what he doesnt need.

I was leaning more towards wind aswell. What can I give him to help with wind? Infacol says from 1 month but he's only 12 days old
