Hey all, here goes!!
My little one developed colic around 2 weeks, and she fits the description to a tee. 2-3 hour outbursts, tensing her body, kicking legs, clenching fists, scratching and flailing around and crying beyond control. Although it did begin in only evening and night, it has slowly filtered into the day too.
I would like to point out though, it is not every feed. On a good day, we may be lucky enough to have a very brief outburst, but in a bad day we're having 3, and we sadly have a few more bad days than good
Almost 2 weeks ago I took her to see a cranial osteopath, and that has sorted out the trace of reflux she had (she would NOT wind at all, but now she does one big burp which is way better than before)
Infacol doesn't work for her, and the osteopath was concerned she could also be having heartburn, he did also say to try colief which I got today, but haven't tried yet as I wasn't prepared for the hassle of mixing certain amounts to feed her! So I need to pump some milk to do that ready. What I'm wondering is, I know there are formulas out there for colic, have any of them worked for people? I want to breastfeed, but if it would help then I would use it because I want what is best for her. Could mix feeding even help? Does anyone have any experience or things they helped with their baby? All answers very welcome!! Thank you for reading
