Our baby was feeding on breast milk and formula (Enfalac A+ with Triple ProGuard) for 2x 850g cans. Then we noticed that his stomach always got a lot of wind. We will hear sound from his tummy and he will force the wind out by making his face red. All this usually happen at night and then he will cry, etc.
Additionally, during confinement, the lady tried to pull out the 'thing' at the belly button. We stopped her but one day showering, she claimed that it came off. We believed she pulled out and am wondering if that is the reason to my son stomach so much wind.
We changed from Enfalac A+ to S26 Gold. The wind problem persisted but was less. On Enfalac A+, he has to eat every 3 hours. With S26, he only eats every 4.5 hours. To us who are babysitting him, it's a good thing because we can get more sleep.
Last week, we tried Enfalac Prosobee (soya milk) to see if it helps with wind reduction but it did not. So Meadjohnson Enfalac is no longer an option for our baby.
Then, I bought a can of 400g Isomil (soya milk too) but have not open. This is based on a relative recommendation that Isomil is one of the best soya milk around. Baby is with S26 Gold still. Some has adviced me to go for Lactose Free milk before going to soya milk again because soya milk has low nutrients. Not good enough for baby in terms of development.
We do not want to touch Enfalac anymore. Any brands of LF milk to recommend? Does S26 has LF? Is the wind caused by the babysitter pulling off that skin on the belly button?
Additional info: Apparently, my cousin who owns a pharmacy told me S26's company Wyeth has been bought over by other company that's why they've been quiet in the market lately. But we believe their recipe is still same / improved over the years from our time (80s baby). My husband and I had S26 when we were little.
What should we do? We already tried heated daun sireh wrapped around tummy for him to pass gas, we tried bo ying compound, we use lu-yi oil on tummy and sole of feet, we have not tried "fei chai sui." Baby is now 2 months old and I just got back at work for the first day.
Appreciate any advice.

My baby is 1month and 7days old, she is on Morinaga milk powder. You may want to try but i cannot suggest that your baby is suitable for this milk(it's definitely cheaper than Enfalac)
My baby has wind and she will fart most of the time. Sometimes she will spit out quite a lot of milk from her mouth (that's when her milk consumption increased) and there were times her milk came out from her nose. I asked around and most people said that could be either the milk or wind or we did not burp her.
We burped her halfway feeding and after she finished the whole bottle and yet she will spits out and sometimes with phlegm, and the elderly said it's good to spit out so that the phlegm come out together and she will feel better. My friend suggested me to try rubbing ointment on her sole (heat your palm with the ointment and then rub his sole thoroughly and quickly put on his socks) before and after feeding and i find this useful cos after that she will fart out but sometimes it still doesnt work out
You may want to try to put the ointment (heat your palm first) on his back, chest, on his head (front part, it's okay if you apply more), tummy, and sole. Yes, i do it all and if possible everytime i change her diaper. Do you still wrap his tummy? I am not sure if it got to do with the confinement lady pulled out his remaining umbilical cord but you can try to put the ointment on his naval/belly button before and after bath (put before bathe so that the wind wont go in) and the Bo Ying compound to rub on his lip (let him lick) or feed him (place the boh ying compound on your finger and let him suck) each time before you give him bath.
And please do not use the fei chai sui / gripewater cos it has been banned since 1982 (read more http://www.parenting-journals.com/113/the-...f-gripe-water/)
Although it does not contain alcohol now but it still contain dillseed (my mother in law bought it and i read the ingredient and ask her to throw it away). I'd rather spend more time rubbing ointment on my baby's body.
Another thing i would like to share is that make sure the milk is warm enough and not too cold and when feeding, please hold the bottle higher (i bet you know about this) so that the teat is fully covered with milk so that he wont be gulping wind.
I heard sucking pacifier will results in wind too but my baby will want the pacifier whenever she wants to sleep, cant help it.
I am still learning cos i am a first time mother..please feel free to share your opinion too.
