Important notice: Breastfeeding provides the best nutrition for babies. The decision to discontinue breastfeeding may be difficult to reverse and the introduction of partial bottle-feeding may reduce breast milk supply. The financial benefits of breastfeeding should be considered before bottle-feeding is initiated. Failure to follow preparation instructions carefully may be harmful to your baby's health. Your healthcare professional is the best source of advice in the care and feeding of your infant and on the addition of suitable foods to their diet as they grow. Cup feeding should be encouraged from 6 months of age and bottle feeding discouraged after 12 months. Only baby milks and cooled boiled water should be given from a bottle. Nutramigen Lipil 1, Nutramigen Lipil 2, Nutramigen AA, Pregestimil Lipil, Enfamil AR and Enfamil O-Lac must be used under medical supervision.

Fussiness / Wind

It is not uncommon for babies to experience fussiness and wind. That's perfectly normal. If you are concerned speak to your healthcare professional. However, the following tips may help:

Feed your baby slowly and pause from time to time.
Sit your baby up during feeding, pause; a burp may come on its own.
While feeding, tip the bottle to make sure the teat is always full of milk. This helps reduce ingested air.
Try rubbing the left side of her back. Start at her lower back then slowly rub up to her shoulder.
Make sure you get at least one good burp after feeding is finished.
With your baby lying on her back, try gently bicycling her leg.

Excessive wind may also be caused by a sensitivity to lactose in your baby's formula. If you are concerned, speak to your healthcare profession who may recommend a lactose free formula such as Enfamil O-Lac.
