Bringing up wind
Far too much emphasis is placed on winding. It is not imperative for a baby to be winded after a feed. If you do, keep it short – two to three minutes will do. If your baby falls asleep after a feed, don’t disturb her – leave her to sleep!

Here are a few methods:

  • Put your baby onto your shoulder and gently tap her back
  • Lie her face down across your lap and rub her back in a circular motion
  • Sit your baby on your knee, with your hand under her chin and gently bounce her up and down
  • Put her in a semi-raised position after a feed
  • Gently rub the bones behind the ears
  • Give her a dummy
