Using a Windi with a Baby
A windi is a specially designed and medically approved tool that can be used to help babies pass gas. It is a natural and chemical free way to maintain your baby’s digestive health and can greatly reduce their discomfort.
Here are the steps to help your baby use a windi:
- Wash your hands and the windi’s tip with soapy water before use.
- Place the baby in an upright position over your lap.
- Lubricate the tip of the windi with a little oil.
- Hold the baby’s legs slightly apart with one hand and gently slide the tip of the windi in the baby’s bottom with the other.
- Pause for 1-2 seconds and then gently push the tip in further – 1-2 cm.
- Stop when you feel the baby relax and exhale.
- Allow the baby to pass gas, then slowly withdraw the windi.
It is important to maintain a gentle and comforting atmosphere for your baby during this process and not to force them. Be very careful not to push the windi too far as the baby may experience discomfort or injury.
Using a windi is an effective and natural way to help your baby pass gas, so they feel more comfortable. Make sure you clean the windi after each use and replace it periodically.
