I was taught two ways when Briona had reflux. For both, you hold the baby while you stand up, with their back to your chest. (1) Hold baby around/over the chest/under the arms and put your other arms across his legs so that his body is straight. (2) Hold his thighs, one in each hand and rotate them in bicycle motion.

Hope you find a way to settle him soon.]]> Wed, 17 Oct 2007 20:03:15 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11584&PID=231225&title=wind#231225 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11584&PID=231202&title=wind#231202 Author: miss

We tried all of the above to some success. In the end my diet was the thing tthat had to change - I cut out onion, broccoli, beans and cabbage and within a couple off days the improvement was huge. if it continues and none of the above do it, might be worth a shot.]]> Wed, 17 Oct 2007 19:45:33 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11584&PID=231202&title=wind#231202 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11584&PID=231031&title=wind#231031 Author: cuppatea

Yeah we have been taking Spencer to the chiropractor since he was 2 weeks old, we went cos he was breech and delivered by c/s which can cause problems. He asked if we had any colic problems, and when we had a constipation problem he was able to give him an adjustment to help]]> Wed, 17 Oct 2007 15:13:56 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11584&PID=231031&title=wind#231031 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11584&PID=231021&title=wind#231021 Author: luna

Because he's so windy, maybe you could try an osteopath or chiropractor (don't worry, they are very gentle on babies).

Depending on your labour, he could have some wee 'problem' which means he has trouble with his wind. They may be able to 'fix' it with one treatment.

Apparently babies/small children respond very well and don't need a lot of 'work' done on them to help things along.

I had Amelia to a chiropractor when she was about 2 weeks old as she wouldn't BF well at all .. 2 days later she was right as rain. And I've heard other, positive stories about osteopaths as well (we've since been for another prob she had)]]> Wed, 17 Oct 2007 14:58:10 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11584&PID=231021&title=wind#231021 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11584&PID=230942&title=wind#230942 Author: cuppatea

We used/use patting and rubbing back whilst sitting up, putting chest down across knees and patting (this would often stop screaming so he must have found it comforting) and last but not least laying him face up on my legs and pumping his legs up to his chest (this did cause him to spill up sometimes as well, but he is a very spilly baby). Now he is a bit older I normally put him on his tummy on his playmat on a towel and normally he will bring up anything that patting his back hasn't on his own now.
Oh and one last way, putting over your shoulder and patting/rubbing back. (be sure to put a towel or something over your shoulder first though) Sometimes walking around whilst getting his wind up seemed to help keep him a bit calmer.]]> Wed, 17 Oct 2007 13:13:17 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11584&PID=230942&title=wind#230942 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11584&PID=230903&title=wind#230903 Author: buzimumto3boys

Aparently a cranial osteopath? is great for wind and other probs... bit expensive though!

We used gripe water or plain boiled water for our boys and did ALOT of patting on the back!

Yeah, I find the jiggle, jiggle up and down whilst patting Bella's back (over my shoulder) works a treat , but she's not a very windy baby. ]]> Wed, 17 Oct 2007 11:27:30 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11584&PID=230885&title=wind#230885 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11584&PID=230840&title=wind#230840 Author: caitlynsmygirl

one of the important things is working out whats the best way for your son to bring it up, some babies bring it up easier if you rub their back, others on their tummy, some even on their chests, with my daughter i (held her head steady of course) and kind of did a quick jiggle with her on my knee.

Weleda Baby Colic Powder worked for Ashlee and her wind (you can get it at pharmacies and health shops). We used gripe water too, and tried Infacol.

It does get better ]]> Wed, 17 Oct 2007 10:26:50 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11584&PID=230833&title=wind#230833 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11584&PID=230832&title=wind#230832 Author: Faraway
