Wind issues omeprazole
Hi, does anybody know if you can take anything alongside omeprazole?
My 11 week old has been taking omeprazole for a week but now struggling more with wind so seems to have solved one and made another worse.
Can you give Colief alongside or probiotics drops?
Thank you

Colief isn’t for wind, it just breaks down lactose in the milk which is easier on their tummy. Infacol is the one that makes them burp. However a lot of people do have wind as a side effect, us included. Best thing is to burp them a few times during each bottle/feed and to burp them 5 or so minutes after taking the medicine. The wind does get a lot better once their body is used to the medicine, but it can take a few weeks. Also lots of bicycle kicks to ease it out the other end, I spent the first 4 months doing constant bicycle kicks until she learned how to pass wind herself 😂x
I give mylicon drops to my baby every other feed. I feel like it helps a bit. I also give probiotic drops on her first bottle of the day. She’s still pretty consolidated though so if anyone else knows how to help with that, would love some insight
