Our baby boy is just over two weeks old and is a bit of a handful. Very hard to get him to settle after his feeds. He was born after 37 weeks and was 2.37kg so he is on the small size and has some catching up to do. His digestion/wind seems to give him a lot of distress but midwifes and health visitors are happy that there isn't anything medically wrong.
I found that when he finishes his feed if I leave him suck on the empty bottle this seems to settle him. I've tried using a dummy but the empty bottle seems to work better.
I'm worried that this will only make his wind worse, however to date that doesn't seem to be the case.
Anyone have any advice or similar experience?
