Dd is 14 weeks and has always been quite a sicky baby but the recently the wind and the sick have been getting much worse. It's both ends and she really struggles with it. I am exhausted and so is my dp.
She is straightening her whole body and sort of arching and writhing around screaming. She's very strong and it's sometimes impossible to bend her when she does this. Eventually she farts or burps but is usually so distressed that the only way to calm her is to feed her again and then the whole cycle starts again.
It's really difficult to wind her after night feeds as she goes to sleep and is really floppy and nothing happens.
I need to get her checked for tongue tie as I don't think her latch is quite right. I can hear and feel her taking the air in when she feeds. She doesn't look like she has tt but want it checked anyway.
If it's not that though what can we do? Is colief or infacol any good? I've heard mixed things. Or do I need to get on some proper reflux medication? Cut out dairy?!
All advice greatly appreciated, I need sleep!
