Product Description A natural solution for colic, constipation, and other gas-related problems, The Windi works instantly and does not require ingestion of any drops or medication. The Windi is a single-use catheter that helps babies get rid of excess gas. Designed to be safe and effective, The Windi cannot harm your baby if used as instructed. Most pediatric professionals are familiar with the method of using a rectal thermometer to relieve gas, colic, and constipation. The Windi is designed specifically for this purpose. The soft, pliable, hollow tube features a rounded tip that is long enough to reach past the muscle that prevents the release of the gas, and also has a stopper to prevent an insertion too far. Each package contains 10 disposable Windis. Brand Story FROM DELIVERY TO BOOGERS, BUTTS AND BEYOND! Frida is the brand that gets parents. That means you. We are not a lifestyle. Far from it. We are a solution-based brand. The 411 of parenting. The who-do-I-call-in-the-middle-of-the-night-cause-my-baby-won’t-stop-screaming brand.

I had to buy this cause I can tell my now 1 month old was having a hard to pooping on her own. First time using it helped relieved some gas but I was hoping more than just gas was going to come out. But the second time using it oh my goodness she had pooped so much I can tell she was so relieved she fell asleep right after. I RECOMMEND purchasing disposable bed pads because the little diapers is not going to be enough for the mess!!

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.

We have only had to use these a couple times but they really saved my fussy and gassy baby. You could tell he was having trouble going poop. The first time we used this within seconds he farted, pooped, peed and burped. It got everything out! Lol I know that was a coincidence but it was crazy. We don’t rely on them but they have come in handy to give my little guy some relief.

These are a lifesaver for babies!!

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.

One more thing to share – we ended up doing a blood allergy test at ~13 months and found allergic reactions to 5 food products. Of course windi wouldn’t help us! Of course eliminating just milk was not going to help us! Because besides milk there was 4 more foods to avoid. Ahh the experience you get…

As I’m studying psychology now, never ever in my life will I put anything in my baby this way unless there is an emergency and no other alternative. This honestly didn’t feel right, as a mother, our intuition works best.

Our baby is ~3 months old now and I can tell that tummy time helped the most, it helped develop necessary muscles and therefore helped pass gas without any extra help.

It’s probably working for some parents and it’s OK to use once in a while. We were desperate for finding a solution to our baby’s gas pain and honestly a q-tip with olive oil or petroleum jelly worked better then windi. Using this thing felt weird and really bad and we never used it again.
If I read this article below I wouldn’t have gotten it.
"Infant dyschezia is the name for when babies strain, grunt, and cry for at least ten minutes several times a day prior to passing gas or stool. It is affects most babies at some point in the first several weeks of life and is the result of an inability to coordinate relaxation of the pelvic floor musculature and intra-abdominal pressure (valsalva).
Infant dyschezia is nearly always misinterpreted as pain related to gas or constipation. It is neither. Crying and straining is merely the baby’s reflexive attempt to valsalva harder against closed anal sphincters. It is not caused by pain or discomfort. When these episodes result in stool, it is normal soft baby poop.
Unfortunately it is common for parents to experience anxiety related to infant dyschezia and to seek out medical care for gas and/or constipation. Many parents have been told, by well-meaning friends and family, and even the occasional medical professional, that using a rectal thermometer (or the Windi) to open up the anus is necessary to relieve their baby’s suffering. And this will sometimes result in a rush of gas or poop. The concerning baby behavior will then stop, which reinforces the parental desire for more intervention.
The problem with this is that infant dyschezia is part of normal development. They will eventually reach the milestone of being able to coordinate defecation and passing gas easily. Frequent rectal stimulation will actually delay this process and even potentially result in a baby that is dependent on rectal insertion in order to stool normally. So despite what is cleverly implied on the Windi website, most pediatric professionals specifically recommend against this method." (From Science-based medicine, by Clay Jones)

Highly suggest this for when the thermometer just won’t cut it.

I was originally freaked out by this product. I would not use it for my first child because I was scared. I was desperate with my second child, and I sure wished I had used this with my first. It is not scary to use and is highly effective. Be careful, some poo may come out of the straw in the process. Ha ha. Be sure to have a diaper at the end to catch the poo. It does release a lot of air as well. Read the directions, massaging my babies belly helped.

They don’t always work, cause babies are different I guess. But when it works, it’s awesome. I saw my baby going from crying to smiling in a couple of minutes , lol
