Can someone with children help me please what did you find the best way to wind your baby my little girl is 1 week old and very difficult to wind she just won't burp it's that bad she had a bottle before bed wouldn't burp and threw up all in her crib and on her clothes I'm terrified she will do it again what can I do to burp her X
My daughter of exactly the same. dentinox is great. A paediatrician told me to do baby massage (YouTube some videos if there's no classes) ask health visitor for ways to relax baby. my daughter is always really tense which is why she struggles to bring up wind. and then try loads of positions etc. different things work on different days lol. If you're using dr browns they do reduce the amount that a baby needs to burp. another paediatrician told me that you need to wind for 30 minutes but I don't find that possible as my daughter is a slow eater and eats every 2 hours. And I also have a 2 year old who needs attention. 😕
Give her a nice warm bottle, sit her upright on your knees and rub in circular motion, prop her mattress one end that always helps too x
@steph775, know how you feel Hun, it's horrible seeing them like that! Xx
@ljay, rolmfao ill buy some today xx @beccastirlingx ill try rocking her too thanks hun 3 hours sleep to scared to go sleep lol xx
@steph775, the rocking side to side thing works and I sit him on my lap and hold his chin and rub the part of my hand just above my wrist up and down his back, seems to work! But dentinox or infacol is supposed to work wonders xx
Thanks @ljay ill try it 😊 xx atm I'm doing the sit up thing lol that has bought a few up @nic881 hopefully she gets easier xx @beccastirlingx iv been using Dr Brown's too she's just a nightmare to get wind out of lol xx
My little boy had this at a few days old. What bottles are you using? I used tommee tippee and they made him really bad so I changed to dr Browns and now he is breaking wind no problem! Highly recommended @steph775 xx
My daughter was the same, try rocking her gently back and forth and side to side to get it moving, didnt work everytime but it did work most of the time, also I would lie her in her back for couple of minutes then lift her back up and try again that usually would fetch it up as well good luck it's awful when they are pained with wind xx
Pop some dentinox colic drops in her bottle it brings up the burps really easily X
Thanks hun ill give it a try I bottle feed nah she's all pink just a nightmare to burp lol I hope she does that too xxx
Sometimes you have to do the patting and rubbing for 10 minutes or more before you get anything :) I hardly ever wind my girl...when she got to about 4 weeks old..she could burp by herself without needed me to pat her or anything. Is the top of the lip greyish/bluish? x
Place your arm under her chest so she can rest on you :) How do you feed her? x
Place her gently on your lap.. on her tummy. You can pat and rub her back that way :) Pat kinda over the shoulder blade...and rub up and down across the whole of her back :) Do a variation of it. You may be being a bit too gentle when patting :) pat a little harder...I promise you won't hurt her :) Switching her to an upright position after can also shift the wind :) x
My little boy prefers being over the shoulder and be slightly bounced as well as rubbing his back up and down and round and round! He is breastfed so doesn't get a lot of wind, but when he does that's normally the trick to getting it up! xxx
