Re: Need HELP
Ok, it sounds to me more like an overfilling problem. Yeah, I've had it too and still get caught out by it (8 months on).
The best way to prevent your baby from filling up with wind, which is what is causing this, is to burp her regularly during a feed. That is, break the feed down into 3-4 sections, where after giving a certain amount, you stop and burp etc etc etc.
The best burping method I have come across that has the best results is to have bubs over the shoulder with you sitting in a chair and leaning back. By leaning back, you are helping bubs to put pressure on their belly, which means it is going to be much easier for you to burp them (less time and force).
There is a very good reason why babies stuff themselves rotten. As they are drinking, their tummies fill up, but the 'I'm full' message doesn't make it to the brain in time, so they keep drinking away until they feel full. That means they have consumed as much 1/3 again what their little bellies can hold, and that has to go somewhere, usually back the way it went in.
Just a word of warning though, you are still going to want to have plenty of towels in easy reach when burping and feeding, because the problem isn't going to be solved over night.
