Half a squirt into each cheek usually does the trick. Also be sure to use your 'Active winding' techniques to wake at the start of the feed and then mid feed again. By moving her around, you will be able to help her burp more effectively. Remember that she will go through a growth spurt at 3 weeks and 5 weeks. As your milk supply increases at these times, the flow may be faster and result in more air being taken in. Hope this helps but get in touch if I can help.

It's been useful to find out her reactions relate to where the air is trapped, makes a lot of sense but hopefully will help a great deal more now I may have more insight as to where i need to focus on! and great tip about the infacol too - we left it too late with our first daughter and she spat it out every time, so this time i've used it sooner at 2 weeks but again it's come straight out! just coming up to 3 weeks so will try your technique of a squirt a cheek and hopefully we'll have some luck! I know eventually she'll outgrow it, but thanks again for your tips. many thanks i’m a second time mum breastfeeding again and dealing with the same windy problems!
