Infacol and gas

1. Im confused about how many times a day we should or even can give infacol?? The box doesnt say anything. 2. Also, does anyone have any better ideas for a baby dealing with gas? She didnt sleep all last night except when on her tummy. Just keeps pulling her legs up and thrashing and is so uncomfortable.

We use infcaol with every feed, sometimes if out and about will miss one or we will skip one deliberately in the day time as he is generally better bringing up wind in the day. Hv told us not to use infacol all the time but doctor said if won't do any harm 🤷‍♀️

You could also use gripe water, but I haven't personally so can't say anything about that x

My LG suffered terribly with gas/trapped wind. Infacol didn't help too much. We changed her formula and she's been loads better since....

We're still having issues with wind. It gets so trapped we can't shift it so my partner went out and bought another bottle of gripe water last night and she did a big burp and went straight to sleep. She can't sleep at all when she needs to burp and just cries. It got better and has now got worse again so back on the gripe water for now.

When do things get easier?

As we entered the 9-12 month stage, my son started crawling and pulling himself up. He also became more clingy and does not play alone, still doesnt sleep through the night, and this week has been sick (so EVERYTHING amplified). I am tired and overwhelmed. Please lie and tell me things get better. 🥺

Colostrum storing?

Has anyone successfully extracted colostrum before the baby’s born? Apparently it gets produced from 16w pregnant and you can start storing it in the freezer but I’m 34w looking at my nipples and the syringes on amazon wondering how it works?? Like what did you use and did it hurt? 🥲

Self settling

Any tips or advice of how to teach 6.5month old to self settle? I’m up multiple times in the night to cuddle her back to sleep and put the dummy in. I understand she will wake up and want a cuddle etc but any tips on self settling would be appreciated 🥰

Baby losing weight

Hi all, it's been a long time since I had a baby (my son is 15!). My daughter is 10 days old and was 9lb born, she has since lost weight at every appointment and is at a 12% loss. I am breast feeding every two hours for over an hour and topping her up every feed. I pump and can get 60ml in 10 minutes so I know my supply is okay. Anyone had this before? Can give me some tips? I currently feel like I'm letting my baby down.
