Frida Baby Windi Gas Passer, Baby Gas Relief and Colic Baby Relief, Baby Constipation Relief, 10 Count

LET'S TALK POOP, GAS & TUMMY TROUBLES... because, face it, oce you have a baby, talking about poop is no different from talking about the weather. :)We had an EXTREMELY colicky baby... we thought she was just angry and colicky, but we learned she had a SEVERE allergy to dairy. Her allergy is called CMPA - Cow's Milk Protein Allergy. A rare allergy to CMP that passes through the breastmilk, and causes swelling and tears in the baby's intestines, stomach and bowels. This caused MAJOR GI issues, gas, diarrhea, and belly pain - and SCREAMING. Oh, the screaming!!!!Ahead of delivery, I ordered this because I'd heard great things about everything by FridaBaby (oh, how I love their booger sucker!). Sure, these were bizarre in concept, but I thought, "well, if I do need it, I'll be happy I have it." And man, were my husband and I happy to have these.We LIVED by these, and did so with our pediatrician's approval. You don't want to use this too much, because the baby can become reliant on it for BMs. But, her system was so bad off (to the point she had micro-tears in her GI, so we were doing hemoccult tests regularly at the doctor until we knew she was healed), we were desperate at times. Usually around 2 or 4AM every night, she would scream nonstop. The same happened at least 2 other times during the day. We always tried tummy massages (we took a class at the local hospital) and leg crunches. When those failed, along with tummy-time, we used these things. This went on for 3-4 months... so for the first few months, especially the first 2.5-3 months when we didn't know she had the allergy, these were the only thing that would temporarily relieve her gas pain.Where these get wider, that's what stops it from going too far into the baby's bum. It's exactly the same concept as the well-known thermometer or q-tip method parents & doctors have been using for years. When a baby's constipated or gassy, using one of these things (thermometer or qtip) were often used to 'stimulate' some activity. These are better because not only are they disposable (really - don't try to reuse these), but they go a little deeper than just the edge and really help to relieve (and channel - the MESS!) what's going on in there.Sorry FridaBaby, but I have to share this with fellow parents.... there is another brand that makes these (though, the invention credit goes to FridaBaby) for a little cheaper. Let's face it, these aren't cheap... but you can save a little bit by Aizara Gas Relief Baby, Gas and Colic Reliever for Babies Doctor-Invented Hollow Tube Natural Solution for Colic 10 pcs. These work EXACTLY the same as Windi's version. They may even be slightly better made, but it's negligible. Really, there's no functional difference just a few dollars in savings.As a tip, we used Vaseline, or grape-seed oil as a lubricant when using this and combined these with tummy massages. Remember when you give a baby a belly massage, you MUST go from the baby's left to right... I suggest the "I Love You" massage - google it. Then do some leg crunches to their belly, add a little lubricant, (have a diaper or pad ready for the mess) and use this. Net, this works 99% of the time and worked exactly as well as Windi. If you prefer the name-brand (Windi), I still recommend it and the same tips above. This version is just a little cheaper.To use, (after you've tried tummy time, massage, etc.), you hold baby's feet in one hand pulling them to their face, (baby's on their back), use a lubricant to ensure you don't create any fissures or damage, insert and wait. You can apply gentle pressure or have your spouse gently rub down and counter-clockwise (from your POV, so counter-clockwise to you while you're facing baby), which often helps. I wouldn't say it really "whistles", not in the sense I think of when someone says whistle. It sounds like what you'd expect gas to sound like... and poop often DOES come out. So be ready to catch it with a diaper.As some people have commented, these do not work for everyone. In fact, there were times when I thought, "WTH... why isn't this working!?!?!? It always works!" So, don't be discouraged, and don't push it (figuratively)... sometimes the baby's bowels just aren't ready. Use common sense, and don't use this 5 times a day, but when you need it, you'll know. Sorry if TMI - just hoping this helps someone else on their journey.

This was given to us as a gift, i did not think i would need it or use it, but when our week old baby was crying and crying and would not stop we were ready to try everything we had! Popped one of these bad boys in (gently of course) and woooosh, she blew out some gas and some soft serve like poo (eek) and she was all better! Since then I have been including this with shower gifts, because you just never know!

I had never heard of these and I bought them for our new grandbaby. First time we ever used them and I have to say I was very surprised but if you have a baby that has trouble using the bathroom, these things work amazing and they’re so easy to use and to help the child. Use the bathroom and pass that gas or or a waste that they need to pass so you know to make your baby more comfortable. These are definitely worth the money in the Value didn’t even know such a thing existed but they are totally awesome

Oh my goodness yall! This stuff really works! My 2.5 month old was not pooping for a week already and was super cranky!!Ordered it and tried it as soon as I got it. It took less than a minute and so much poop came out! So I did it again, and again it took less than a minute and more poop came out. Lifesaver!

This product really works! Be mindful it gets messy even after the initial bowel movement. I ended up having to throwing away an outfit and washing a bouncer chair, so be mindful of where baby is sat for the first 30 minutes after and what outfit they are wearing and be prepared to do a bath and wash session.

The media could not be loaded. I was very skeptical at first about this product. But I was also desperate to help ease the discomfort of my baby’s constipation.I do recommend massaging baby’s belly before inserting as that seemed to help relieve my baby. Also get a lubricant. I would not use unless a lubricant is also on the product and you need to buy that separately.Price point was a little high. And you cannot re-use the windi’s. It is one time use only. Easy to use but also it helps to have experience. I am a nurse and have been trained on this. Not everyone is comfortable doing this to their baby and I understand. I wouldn’t but this again. It worked for my half the time. And honestly I found other products that help with constipation that I prefer better.It is worth a try as you never know what will work for your baby the best.Product is made with quality. High in price. Can be difficult to use on a baby- especially when they are unable to lay still.

I've purchased these multiple times, they're easy to use and provides relief to my baby. Couldn't ask for much more, just don't forget to buy something to lube it up with!
