Hi! I had exactly the same problem, my little girl is 6 weeks and breastfed. She is a very windy baby. Everybody told me it's normal unfortunately. So heartbreaking to see, especially as you can't console them! We tried infacol which has seemed to help. Only used it for a few days, she's much better now, still whinges when she goes but very rarely cries! Hope that helps. x

Hi i had the same problem for months. My baby ended up being lactose intolarent. I got really upset and was at the drs so many times. My massage teacher told me not to do something they call the cartwheel. I used to push his legs gently up to his tummy and this helped a little. He then started to do rabit dropings and that is when i went to get it looked into. He stil has odd days now that he is on solids. Please do not worry to much i tried all the suggestions from friends but when they did not work i knew it was a little more. He had alot of sickness to and they thought that was reflux but i think it was the lactose. It is very common for babies to be constipated but if you are concerned get it checked out. xx
