Does anyone have any advise or suggestions about how to help a baby with wind?

Infacol, infant's friend or similiar.

Otherwise hold bub upright and walk up and down the stairs 10 times;)

cooled boiled water for them to drink, and my DS liked it when we kicked his legs -like fold knees up to tummy and stretch out - normally this made him pass a lot of wind and then he was much happier,

wrap bubs up tight then roll over onto belly, that way they feel secure and the weight on the belly helps release some pressure.

Infacol made my bubs scream more than the wind itself..... same thing for sil's bub.....infants friends seemed to help though

I would massage bubs tummy - from belly button up to under ribs - one finger in front of the other like walking - around to the RIGHT and down and around down to near top of pubic bone then lift fingers and start at button again.....CHN taught me this - worked great....

Folding legs gently up and pushing softly onto tummy helped heaps too

The dosage for the brauers colic releif for a baby under 6mths - 1ml ever 4 hours - over 6 mths 2 ml

Though when you start it for the 1st time you give it more often (every 1/2 hour for 4 doses and then 4 hourly)

Its great for wind - EJs had it heaps.

Defiantely try infants friend, its been amazing for Oliver. AND to top it off he really loves the taste!

Its cheep! Under $10 for the bottle, and giving 2ml at each feed now he is only going thru a bottle every 10 days or so! :)
