Genuinely a lifesaver.
Hear me out: if your baby has gas issues, you NEED this.
For about 15 weeks straight, every evening, without fail, my daughter would scream and cry in pain from what we later found out was a massive issue with milk protein. We massaged, we bounced her around, we bicycled her legs, and we almost lost our minds. Nothing helped, making us feel helpless because we couldn't help her.
I remembered hearing about the Windi online, and decided to buy a pack on a whim. They're a bit pricey, but people swear by it, so it couldn't hurt, right? Yeah, they're worth every single cent.
You want to put a puppy pad down, or become very proficient at catching poop (seriously, don't neglect to do this, because there WILL be a mess!). Get some coconut oil, and lubricate the tip of the Windi, but make sure not to clog the hole in the tip. Massage your baby's belly downwards for a bit, then snatch those legs up and hold them back, like you would when changing a diaper. Put the Windi in their butt, and wait for that telltale whistle (it doesn't happen immediately, we used to wait for half a minute of so). Cover your bases, and have something at the ready to catch that poop - people aren't calling it a shit bazooka for nothing. If nothing happens, you can take it out, retry the massage, maybe move the legs up and down a little, and try inserting it again, which should do the trick.
We used them almost daily, on really bad days even twice a day, and she now poops just fine on her own now. Don't overdo it, but before all of you lose your minds, don't hesitate to use a little help.
Yeah, it's not exactly appealing, and slightly gross, but nothing beats watching your baby's expression change from pain to absolute relief. Go and buy a pack. Have one at the ready for when you need it, you won't regret it. The Windi is amazing.
