A member asked:

My baby is a week old, i can't breastfeed him so we put him on lactogen and he is drinking from a tommie tippie bottel. but he swallows so much wind and get terrible cramps. i really struggle to burp him and even after the burping he still has cramp?

Pace the feeds: Any baby that eats from a bottle invariably also takes in a lot of air. The answer to the voracious infant is simply -pace him/her by taking the bottle out of the mouth at intervals to interrupt the cluster-feeding behavior, and NOT allowing the baby to swallow excess volumes of air with the strong sucking accompanying the drinking
