Advice on bottles and windy babies
Hi Ladies, looking for a bit of advise my 3 week + 2 day old daughter suffers with bad trapped wind and hiccups after most feeds. We feed her a few oz then burp her and keep her upright for a good 15-20mins after a feed and we think she still has wind. We use tommee tippee anti colic bottles and a slow feed teat it's like she still guzzles her feed though we try and pace her.
I'm not sure if that her being a small baby has some effect on this. Can anyone advise on bottles or anything we can try to help her?

As much I don't want any little ones in discomfort it is comforting knowing it's not just us having the same issue! One recommendation we did have from a friend is trying a thickening powder which we going to try once it arrives x
We used MAM bottles for our daugher and they are really good
We’ve been using infacol and this seems to work! She still gets hiccups sometimes but seems to be able to release her own wind now (I can never get her to burp!). Also with the hiccups I saw to try a bit more milk so we stop now towards the end of the bottle and sit up and then give her a tiny bit more and most times that gets rid of the hiccups no idea why!
Many babies are windy regardless of what you do
Following.. my little one is the same! No better on mam bottles! X
