Due Sept 2... new to HK...

hi all,
I admire you for venturing out already, although Anri did only come home on monday, so I'm still giving myself time to adjust to the new person in the house!
Breastfeeding is also better than a couple of days ago, and I feel with you, Rach, because Anri also suffered from wind, but that's also sorted now!

Good luck

Hi Heleen,

Glad to hear that Anri is at home with you ;-) What have you done to fix the trapped wind? I am using grip water and infacol which is helping but Lily is still suffering ;-(
 
Using the same as you, but I also found that I spent too much time trying to get rid of the wind, and it just made her more grumpy. Now I just spend a minute or so winding her, and then I just hold her in a position that she finds comfortable, and the wind eventually breaks!
 
Hi Theresa

Yes I have a gassy baby, it seems to be trapped in the bottom of her tummy and causes some discomfort ;-( Do you have any experience/advise for this?
 
Wish I had a cure for it... I don't remember Katelyn being that gassy, with Ashley my newborn, she seems to be really gassy. Even after burping her, she still spits out and I can see her discomfort from gas. Today was her one month check up and her doctor told me to use Infacol Wind drops before feeding her and it should make the gas come out a lot easier. Hope this will help her. I don't mind the spit up.. I just worry that she'll spit up during her sleep and choke on it... because of that, she's been sleeping with me every night.
What have you guys been doing to make your babies feel better?
 
Hi Katelyn

Lily has her good and bad days but I have also been using Infacol as well as gripe water inbetween if she needs it - she seems to love the taste of both! I also try to cycle her legs to help move the gas but she doesn't like this very much and I have propered her matresses up in her cot so she is not flat and at a slight angle.

I am also paying close attention to my diet, at the moment I am cutting out wheatabix as I had read on another site that some babies react badly to the wheat in your milk - although I'm not sure of the effects of this so far.

It all seems like trial and error to me at the moment

I hope that things will improve soon.

Hi ladies!

This is my first time logging onto Geobaby and posting a note for you all. I just had my first baby couple weeks ago and have been adjusting to being a new mommy. Its definitely alot of work and I'm totally sleep deprived, but its all been worth it. Hope to connect with some of you out there with newborns.

Cheers!
 
Hi all! My lovely baby is a month old today, can't believe how time flies. What about a get together, seeing that by now everybody has passed the one month stage? Maybe at Theresa's place?

hope to see you soon
Heleen
