Hi my 3 week old has for the last 9 days been crying lots mostly after feeds, she looks like she has trapped wind lifting her legs and crying lots however she keeps having bowel movements sometimes only a small amount but it's enough to unsettle her I then end up changing her around 6 times over the next hour or so... she seems to be getting worse with some morning and noon discomfort also. I have tried adding fennel tea to my expressed milk but this has not calmed her down (For 6 days). I have also tried cranium osteopathy but they could not find anything wrong with her.

Have you taken her to the GP?

I spoke to the health visitor she said it can be quite common due to babys digestive system settling
