DD has been FF exclusively for 3 weeks now and recently she has started to make a sound like she is clearing her throat about a third of the way through her bottle. She really wriggles, goes bright red in the face and sometimes pushes the teat out of her mouth only to cry as she wants it back in again. It almost looks like she is straining for a poo but she hasnt done one.
I have been trying to wind her when this happens as she is quite a windy baby but a burp doesnt always help her settle. This new development means that feeds take about and hour and a half due to burp/wriggle breaks.
Its worst between 5pm and 11pm (when she finally goes to sleep) but doesnt happen when she has her night feed which is between 4am and 5am.
Doctor said it was wind but im not so sure, any advice would be appreciated as i hate seeing her sad face.
(She has Dr Browns bottles and we tried infacol for a week but it didnt do anything except make her burps really sicky)
Thanks
