I hope someone can offer a bit of advice on this as I'm just about at my wits end with lack of sleep. My 4 week old daughter has been bottle fed from 2 weeks old and has been very gassy (mostly farting, burps have been difficult to get out of her!). We tried infacol but that seemed to make it worse, so have taken her off it now.
I'm taking breaks during feeding to burp her, and keeping her upright for at least half an hour after feeding (usually longer though), and she goes to sleep on me just fine no signs of discomfort at all. But then when I put her down in her Moses basket after a couple of minutes she squirms around, makes faces and noises like she's in pain and pulls her legs up. She doesn't often bring up milk, but I worry about silent reflux which I've heard of but not sure if this fits. I have been doing various burping positions and baby massage, we have swapped from Tommee Tippee closer to nature bottles to the doc Browns anti colic ones, but so far no change.
I hate to think she's in pain and can't sleep properly, I've tried leaving her to settle but end up picking her up to sleep on me quite often, so of course I'm not sleeping much either!
Has anyone got any tips for me before I go insane please? Thanks!
