We are one of the only countries that wind our babies.
No source, I just remember reading it a good few times in the past.

I remember that book and that breast fed babies did not need winding as there’s no air in a breast but there is in a bottle and that’s the reason Aveline.

There might be some truth in it because nobody winds a baby on solids do they?

What era was Dr. Jolly?

I remember him, I think I did have his book. ( should have kept it!). He was head to head with Penelope Leech, who’s advice was more laid back.

Bottle fed babies need to be winded I gather. I never had to wind my two.

They do need to be winded.

So-called experts.

I remember watching him when my children were babies, and really liking him. Things I remember were that he said babies didn’t need to be ‘winded’, that teething didn’t cause all the things attributed to it, and that there was no such thing as colic!
I looked on Amazon for his book, but it was around £70 for a second hand one ( surely a mistake?)
