Sicky baby, loads of wind, could it be the formula, using Hipp Organic?

My DS seemed to have reflux, he spat up a lot up to the age of 8 months and, I thought, had quite a bit of wind. He got out of it and I never needed to give him the gaviscon we were given by the doctor.

I was hoping that DD (12 days) would be different, not so much washing, constant clothes/bedding changing. If anything, she seems worse.

She hiccups a lot, has sooo much wind from both ends, I have never know a baby like it. She has also thrown up a couple of times over the last 2 days, but as DH says, its when she hasn't winded, then you lay her down and either she is sick or you pick her up and she brings it up.

She is feeding (formula) quite often, seems to want a bit every hour to 2 hours at the moment, although early morning she will take a bigger feed and sleep for quite a while. Later afternoons and evenings, she seems to want quite frequent feeds where she is having 8-9 a day.

I did BF for 5 days and even then she had quite a bit of wind and would come off so I could wind her, that was pretty frequent too.

Any ideas?

Well if you suspect she isn't settling on that formula you could try another one
I know that I swapped around a bit with my babies to see which one suited them better - they were all quite different
Why don't you get a few ready made cartons of one other type - (I quite liked aptamil) and try her with that over 2 or 3 days and see how she goes?

I remember my 4th didn't get on with aptamil which all the others did and we used an organic one instead but it wasn't hipp organic. Hmm can't remember. Maybe a cow & gate organic?

Anyway ring the changes and see if she improves.
