Farty baby tips
My little girl has ALWAYS struggled with gas (bottom end) ever since newborn days. Never used to poo regularly, used to go maybe every 4 days as a small baby, although now she does go once daily.
I swear her sleep would be better if it wasn't for her wind, when she wakes up it seems to always be due to needing to pass wind. I never actually tried Infacol/gripe water/Dentinox as I was a bit dubious and also just thought she'd grow out of it. But here we are, at 1 year old, still in the same boat 🙈
So essentially just wondering if anyone else is/has been in the same boat and if you have any tips??
Considering giving probiotics but I did this when she was younger and found no difference.

my little one is the same 🫣
@Lauren I hope you don't mind me asking but which probiotics are you using? My dietician appointment is a long way off yet
@Raisa were using optibac for babies, it’s a powder that you put into cold food preferably at breakfast (I put it in a couple of spoonfuls of yoghurt and then just give him his normal breakfast!) it’s completely flavourless and its allergy friendly :) (but it’s pricey - I think all probiotics are!)
Thanks for your replies everyone! I'll start the probiotics back up again and hopefully they will make a difference 🙏🤞 I keep meaning to make a food diary to see if specific things are making it worse but I'm lazy and just never get round to it 🙈

My LO has been on probiotics for about 1 month now (recommended by a dietician for a different issue) and I have noticed that it seems to have reduced his wind and improved the consistency of his poo. He struggled with wind as a tiny baby and we did use infacol/gripe water but I do think the probiotics have been more effective!
