Siew Ting L.. · Working mom · Baby at 6 weeks
Infacol was a lifesaver during the witching hour, though it took a few days of consistent use before we saw real improvements.
Feeding Adjustments15% moms chose this path
Switching to anti-colic formula or changing feeding positions to reduce air.
Suits formula-feeding Moms or those suspecting their current feeding technique causes excess gas. It requires trial and error to find the right bottle or milk.

Changed to a comfort formula and used anti-colic bottles. The spit-ups reduced drastically, but the special milk is definitely more expensive.

Expert guidance

Infant colic causes intense crying and trapped wind that disrupts feeding and sleep. Gleneagles and Sunway Medical Centre suggest managing this by adjusting feeding positions, burping frequently, or trying physical relief. What matters most is consulting a paediatrician to rule out other issues, as colic typically resolves by four months of age.
