Winding

[x_larlybelle_x]

Do u wake baby up to wind if they fall asleep during a feed?

Henry has just fallen asleep on the breast and I'm not sure if I should wind him as it will wake him up.

Did manage to give him infacol as well without him spitting it back out at me. Will this do anything or is it ok to leave him?

I always wake Noah and wind him, but that's mainly because he's hard to wind sometimes and it ends up getting trapped causing tummy ache and he then becomes distressed and cries.

I don't think it would harm LO if you didn't wind them every now and then. If they're settled then it can't be bothering them that much

I read somewhere that if you sit them. Upright for a few mins then lay back down, it helps release wind, so I usually just try that. With maybe a gentle back rub. Xxx

In theory breast fed babies shouldn't need winding as much but thats a theory lol I still wind James for a bit usually by rubbing instead of patting either that or sit them dead straight for a minute or 2 x

If he's asleep no, if he's awake sometimes. I can tell when he needs it now during a feed anyway!
