PATIENCE WHEN WINDING

More winding time and patience is needed.

Often when my tried and tested methods just don't seem to do the trick, maybe methods aren't needed.
I find that with some babies (and all are different), all they need is to SIT STILL.

So, after each break in the feeding, let baby sit there, slowly letting the milk settle and after a few minutes, slowly sit him up a little straighter.
Then, with one hand in front of the stomach and chest and the other behind (as if book ends), hold him in that position for a few minutes more and see if wind comes up.

If not, put him in the classic over the shoulder position and if still nothing, change sides and place over other shoulder.

You'd be surprised how gravity does it's job!
