My 10 day old is being fed formula and given the breast and pump, due to low weight gain. I pump regularly/let her latch onto the breast so my milk supply stays up and the formula is to top up her supply.
Anyway she is very windy. It takes ages for her to bring her burps up and flatulence down and it often takes her hours to do a poo. You can see she is straining to poo sometimes, but isn't able to do it. She also gets hiccoughs very regularly at least every other feed, sometimes every feed. It really interrupts her sleep and makes her very whingy. I hate seeing her like this.
Is it worth mentioning to the health visitor/midwife or to give her something (she's having infacol at the moment, otherwise it's 10% worse). Is there anything else I can do and is this normal?
