Is colic the problem? If so you could try colief. It's quite expensive but a bottle does for bout 2/3 weeks and it was a miracle on ds - the symptoms stopped the next day.

Colief is brilliant if you stick with it.

how do you administer it though as the problem is she just spits everything out!!

all you do is put two drops in the bottle!
It is truly amazing, you just have to remember it every feed else the effect wears off.

yes it's from birth! it is a little expensive, but we started ds on it at around 5 or 6 weeks, and he's slept through 10.30 till around 7 every night since, so we class it as worth it!
