2 week leap?

Evening all!

wondering if anyone has had a similar experience….

2 week old is predominantly bottle fed (we switched from cow and gate to nannycare yesterday) but has some breast milk either expressed in a bottle or direct from the breast. For the past 3-4 days he has been really unsettled, refusing to nap, not settling, crying A LOT. We have seen the GP and midwife who have both said he is “just a windy baby” and told us to use infacol and ride it out.

The midwife also suggested it could be a developmental leap. Has anyone experienced the same around the 2 week mark? He’s sleeping ok at night (touchwood) but in the day time he’s just so awake. We can get him to sleep in the car but when we stop he wakes up.

since changing formulas and using infacol he seems slightly less windy and slightly more settled but still not napping and long episodes of crying plus seeming very hungry.

thanks!

Have you tried the Wonder Weeks App @Cakelover23? They have some information on leaps.

Can I just ask why you decided to change the formula too? Was there something going on before the swap?

My husband and I both have dairy intolerances and the doctor suggested it could be contributing to his wind. We never wanted him on formula, let alone dairy formula due this but circumstances out of my control have meant we can’t EBF

That's interesting as I have CMPA but my DC don't, thankfully.

What was the issue for our DS was Tongue Tie and not CMPA.

Having said that, if he's sleeping at night it could just be normal baby behaviour and what you're experiencing could just be the fourth trimesterFlowers
