My own theory for Daniel is a sluggish digestive system. When we make sure we give prune juice if he hasn't pooped that day we don't have an issue with it. Prune juice is good for them and helps keep everything moving so we just give it all the time (watered down)]]> Thu, 05 Jun 2008 20:20:33 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17948&PID=404913&title=help-wind#404913 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17948&PID=404855&title=help-wind#404855 Author: myfullhouse

Sorry to hijack your thread but we have big problems with Jack and wind during the night. He doesn't cry but won't go to sleep until he farts which can sometimes take an hour+. He tends to go ram rod straight rather then bringing his legs up. So I assume that it is the wind in the intestines as Stacey mentioned. I will try the bicycle motion and see if it helps.

But to my question, do you know what causes it?? We have been to the doctors and had tests and have ruled out him being sick. I wonder if it has to do with teething. Any other ideas?]]> Thu, 05 Jun 2008 19:47:20 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17948&PID=404855&title=help-wind#404855 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17948&PID=404752&title=help-wind#404752 Author: kebakat

Her back to your tummy and move her legs in bicycle motion... or lay her down and massage her tummy]]> Thu, 05 Jun 2008 17:59:09 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17948&PID=404724&title=help-wind#404724 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17948&PID=404705&title=help-wind#404705 Author: Bizzy

maybe try her tummy down lying across your knees, gently rocking side to side while rubbing her back?

hugs!]]> Thu, 05 Jun 2008 17:07:52 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17948&PID=404688&title=help-wind#404688 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17948&PID=404687&title=help-wind#404687 Author: Neeks

Having her sit helps or lying like in a capsule, peddling legs if its in her lower tummy rather than stomach.]]> Thu, 05 Jun 2008 14:12:25 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17948&PID=404482&title=help-wind#404482 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17948&PID=404473&title=help-wind#404473 Author: popcorn

Debs I have a windy baby too.

I use colic powder when she gets bad like that and then just walk/jiggle her gently while patting/rubbing her back until she gets it all out. It can take awhile and the poor wee thing screams the whole time. When she eventually gets it all out she falls asleep almost immediately cos she's so tired. Another thing that sometimes helps is a deep warm bath. Hope she's feeling better soon.]]> Thu, 05 Jun 2008 14:02:29 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17948&PID=404462&title=help-wind#404462 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17948&PID=404446&title=help-wind#404446 Author: popcorn
