Hi! My LO had bouts of colic till about 6 weeks. Infacol worked really well for us.. if you use it, ensure you give it before every feed to ensure it starts it's action. We also got super obsessed with burping her and would keep her up for at least 30 mins post feed. We also made her do cycle legs every morning which helps relieve gas.
Hope this helps! You will get through this!! Good luck x

She is combi fed and we changed formula from cow and gate to kendamil.

I second keeping upright after feeds, infacol is also a must. And if formula fed, debate changing bottles? I was using nuk colic free, but they didn't work for us the flow was too fast aswell. Dr brown colic bottles helped. And definitely leg cycles, making sure she got all the farts out she could aha. Think ours lasted til around 7 weeks, but oddly enough we found out in the end she had a cows milk allergy. She had bad reflux too. 💪you got this

Colic magically and naturally disappears by the time baby is 3 months old and it is soooo amazing! Be careful with Infacol as it can cause constipation and having seen a stool stuck coming out of my daughter's bottom and her screaming in agony (sorry if TMI) you need to be cautious on how much you give. It is good if not used at every feed.

Over feeding!! Doing smaller feeds- I know a few girls who’ve found this to be the same! Xx
