wonderful, and happy-baby making

Oh, the windi. The weirdest, most gut wrenching product, especially the first time you use it. But oh my god, it is a life saver, it is magical, wonderful, and happy-baby making. When you have a constipated and gassy screaming child you will bite your lip and look at those windis and just do it. It will make a whistle to let you know to brace yourself because the fountain of poop is about to come. Keep a lot of wipes near by. I would say though only use it when it’s desperately necessary because you still want your baby to mature into knowing how to poop without help.

Poop in hair, don't care

God bless the Windi (or as my husband calls it, the fart straw). My baby has been pretty much screaming for the past five hours. I finally decided to put one of the fart straws to the test. Poop blasted out of his little rear. Like, I legit got crap in my hair. He is now sleeping peacefully. So, I'm summary, this product is the reason I almost got poop in my face and I'm praising it because that's how relieved I am that my son is relieved.... Oh the beauty of motherhood.

and after it being in for like 20 seconds it start to whistle

My baby had a hard time pooping while he was sleeping and would SCREAM and SCREAM. I got this and stuck it in, and after it being in for like 20 seconds it start to whistle, then vibrate, then the explosion began. My baby would literally sigh in relief. It was crazy screaming in pain one second than a split second later a sigh and a peaceful face. I did reuse these. I washed them with soap right after use, and stored them in a cup. When the cup was full I filled it with water and pop it in the microwave for a few mins.

Congratulations. BUY THIS.

Dear... sweet... Merciful Lord. It is so rare to stumble upon products in this day and age that aren't mainly intended to gyp you out of your cash. Having a newborn baby is scary. When you see unadulterated suffering streak across your infant's face and their screams reach to the high heaven's to make the angel's cry; as the witching hour approaches and you're already a week in to your sleep debt: The Windi. First things first, the Windi is off-putting from the get. All our nightmares of rectally inserted thermometers race through our minds... And the idea of putting something up your poor little creature's behind while they are already suffering makes you feel like a monster. When you first receive it you stash it away after looking at it... Thoughts like..."why is it so long? Isn't it a bit girthy!? What am I a medieval TORTURER!!?"... Make you question why you bought it. I have the nose Frida and in short:. BUY IT. But that's a tale for a different day. My 1 month old son was suffering in agony and after hours of worrying that this was something really serious, I remembered... The Windi. My husband's eyebags were dragging the floor but both of us just wanted to help any way we could. Finally, all inhibitions shot out the window and after some coconut oil, about 5 seconds and a prayer.... Wind... shooting out so fast it made the thing whistle, shortly thereafter green poop came pouring out, filling a diaper used to catch anything that may shoot out, per the warnings of other reviewers (THANK YOU). The best part? Instantly the shrieks subsided... Down to a whimper... Down to silence. Not often in life will you have the power to end someone else's suffering so quickly and efficiently. The Frida Baby People are geniuses with big golden, philanthropic hearts. The damn things work and you need them in your life. If you just had a baby and you're being persnickety and skeptical, two things: Congratulations. BUY THIS.

AMAZING

Offered so much relief for baby (and me). At about 6 weeks DS started up with terrible gas pains that his cry made my dog howl for the very first time.. ever (he spent his first 3 years in urban areas w consistent sirens and other dogs howling at said sirens and nothing. But baby gas pains.. so much howling). Bicycle kicks and gripe water we’re life savers. After a bit, gripe water wasn’t as effective so we added daily nighttime baths, which helped and his gas seemed to not be as frequent. Fast fwd to 12 weeks where gas ramped up and nothing works anymore. DS stopped w his afternoon naps and stopped w his 7 hr sleep stretch (ugh). First windi use was a HUGE (disgusting) success. I didn’t insert it far enough the first 3 attempts bc I was nervous, guilty and scared. But attempt #4 was the ticket. DS then napped for 4 hours! Poor little man. But such a good product. I want to tell everyone about it but also don’t want to come off weird

Sit down, shut up, it's story time

Okay you better sit down because it's story time. I have a 7 week old baby from hell. She is so gassy but can't get anything out and only passes small poops (they're actually sharts). I tried knees to chest, bicycle kicks, warm baths, gas drops, gripe water, thermometer stimulation, tummy massage and had her tested for dairy intolerance. After all of those failed, I was on my 3rd night of her screaming at me and I thought to myself "If there is a god in this world these butt straws will work". The first one didn't...I WAS TICKED. Well, lo and behold I'm an idiot and didn't insert it far enough. Then when I did it was like the gates of heaven opened and the smelliest, most glorious gas passed and then came so much poop. I never thought I'd be so happy to be covered in feces. Her little pot belly was soft and squishy again and the proud smile I saw on her face was one I'll never forget!

Make sure hole isn’t clogged with lube when using!

I had seen these recommended a few different places and was desperate enough to try any/everything with my uncomfortable gassy baby!! At first I was disappointed because it didn’t seem to work, and then I read a tip to make sure the end Home wasn’t clogged with whatever lube you use. After I changed that, it worked great! It really helped our little guy.

Lifesaver!

Every once and a while my son (6weeks) would have gas he can not pass. If bicycle kicks and pushing his legs towards his tummy does not ease the pain we would use a windi as the last resort. Just this morning my son was screaming in pain. His belly was tight and he kept arching his back in pain. As a parent it's heart breaking. My husband and I used the windi (please have something to catch the poop, we used his diaper) and it worked instantly. My son relaxed and fell asleep within minutes. Here is a picture of my son just moments after.

LIFESAVER for allergies & GI Issues!

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.

Genuinely a lifesaver.

Hear me out: if your baby has gas issues, you NEED this. For about 15 weeks straight, every evening, without fail, my daughter would scream and cry in pain from what we later found out was a massive issue with milk protein. We massaged, we bounced her around, we bicycled her legs, and we almost lost our minds. Nothing helped, making us feel helpless because we couldn't help her. I remembered hearing about the Windi online, and decided to buy a pack on a whim. They're a bit pricey, but people swear by it, so it couldn't hurt, right? Yeah, they're worth every single cent. You want to put a puppy pad down, or become very proficient at catching poop (seriously, don't neglect to do this, because there WILL be a mess!). Get some coconut oil, and lubricate the tip of the Windi, but make sure not to clog the hole in the tip. Massage your baby's belly downwards for a bit, then snatch those legs up and hold them back, like you would when changing a diaper. Put the Windi in their butt, and wait for that telltale whistle (it doesn't happen immediately, we used to wait for half a minute of so). Cover your bases, and have something at the ready to catch that poop - people aren't calling it a shit bazooka for nothing. If nothing happens, you can take it out, retry the massage, maybe move the legs up and down a little, and try inserting it again, which should do the trick. We used them almost daily, on really bad days even twice a day, and she now poops just fine on her own now. Don't overdo it, but before all of you lose your minds, don't hesitate to use a little help. Yeah, it's not exactly appealing, and slightly gross, but nothing beats watching your baby's expression change from pain to absolute relief. Go and buy a pack. Have one at the ready for when you need it, you won't regret it. The Windi is amazing.
