Baby’s colic?

I'm currently trying the wonky winding technique, but with limited success :(
My LO had trouble with gas from 2-5 weeks while I figured out what worked best for her. She would cry in pain after each feed and whimper and groan in her sleep (if she let me get her down). I began giving her BioGaya probiotic drops and I stopped drinking cows milk and dairy (except for a daily glass of kefir). It worked right away. I spoke with a dietician at the hospital and she said if I wanted to reintroduce milk I should do so slowly. Other things I do to keep gas in check : - limit my broccoli, cabbage, beans - take her off the nipple after any clicks and put her back on (some feeds this is pretty constant) - burp her after each feed until I hear a burp. This can include putting her on my lap and doing circles with her and holding her up out front of me and then back my shoulder - lots of tummy time to break up gas bubbles
Best position to help gas pass I learned I saw on tiktok: Hold baby upwards in the air supporting their head with your hand under their cheeks🤌🏽 .Place your other hand on their butt with your fingers between the legs and palm on the bum 🫴🏽 . Move their hips in circular motion with your bottom hand. The gas should free either with a burp or poot. Did this with my baby boy and it helped SO much and instantly. He is EBF and I also had to cut out all dairy, caffeine and nuts.
I used a Frida windi gas passer for the first time yesterday! I was very happy, as was my LO, but a warning, more than just gas came out lol!
Major colic over here! He ended up having CMPA and soy sensitivity. We used Mylicon drops and they save us, you can use them up to 12 times a day. Still EBF and he has gotten SO much better now that we figured it out. Infant dyschezia is a thing too! Sometimes they just struggle to fart for a while. I stick him in a supported squat on my lap after each feed and it helps him get the farts out and we get face to face time, win win
