My baby girl is now 7 weeks old. She has always been very unsettled and things just haven't got any better.
She will not sleep unless she is held, I have tried different cribs etc but she wakes nearly as soon as she is put down and just screams. I am literally living off no sleep and also struggling in the day as well because again, I can't put her down.
The GP prescribed gaviscon and said she sounds like she has reflux , this has helped with her sickness but I still fine her very windy. She really struggles with bringing up her wind , I have tried everything, infacol, gripe water, colief etc and they have all either made things worse or not made a difference. She is on the aptimil formula and I have tried the comfort one but that didn't work. I have gone privately and got her tongue tie cut to see if this helped her settle but it didn't. I have just spoken to the Gp again as I didn't know if she could be allergic to cows milk but they said that as she is gaining weight etc, it's very unlikely and are now prescribing omeprazole. I feel really reluctant to try this because I have heard it can make wind worse etc but I'm just lost on what else to do.
Do I simply just have a difficult baby? Please help.
