Gp has this morning confirmed dd has bad colic at 18 weeks . Feeding her is becoming increasingly difficult.
Her feeds are reducing to 4 bottles of only 2-4ozs. She's not gaining as much weight as needed and suffers terribly with pains wind, crying etc. She is dropping centiles!
She is very developed. GP noted this as she can sit up, on her own. She does reach for our food and has almost eaten one of her brothers sandwiches but I stopped her. I have given her cold carrots, celery etc to chew to help her teeth and she loves it.
I know the guidelines say not to until 26 weeks. Her brother had terrible colic and I weaned him at 4 months. His colic went and he loved his food.
Any advice or experience?
