From birth DD has been very unsettled and unhappy, crying 90% of her waking hours, very frantic i.e. always kicking her legs and over sensitive to everything.
She is exclusively breastfed, over 17lbs on the 91st percentile and feeds well but it takes along time to get her relaxed enough to feed. Health visitor advised weaning her as this should settle her. My friends and mother all say give her 2 bottles of formula a day and this will settle her.
I am now getting no sympathy because I am not following their advice, is there any truth that mix feeding would help her. DD and me are both unhappy and have had miserable 17 weeks so far.
