Hello All,
My daughter is 5.5 weeks at the moment and is currently combi fed but majority of this is formula. For various reasons my wife has not been able to breast feed and so from day 1 we've been feeding my daughter formula, starting with ready made Aptamil. After the first week she would just cry like no tomorrow and would seem to be in quite a bit of discomfort and would bring up her milk regularly. We changed over to C&G comfort which stopped her vomiting, but it just seemed to make her even more comfortable. One weekend she cried non-stop for the whole day leading us to call the paramedics and going to the hospital only to be told she has colic. Next day we changed over to Kendamil and she seemed to have improved instantly, but now it seems she gets very uncomfortable after a feed hunching her back, kicking her legs and just crying in pain.
She also hates lying on her back and has a very raspy congested throat, a lot of grunting, a lot of sneezing, hiccups and farting endlessly leading me to believe she has silent reflux but maybe also have some sort of CMPA.
The HV and GP's just seem to think its colic and that it'll pass but I think this is just because she's asleep whenever they see her and her weight and other readings all seem to be normal. I'm not convinced and tempted to try hypoallergenic formula just to see how she gets on. We've infacol, gripe water etc but nothing seems to help.
Thanks for reading and any advice would be appreciated.
