Hi, my little girl isn’t really gaining weight (will fall off the 9th centile soon having already dropped from 25th) and I’m wondering if this sounds familiar to anyone; any and all advice desperately appreciated! She’s been exclusively breastfeed since about 3 weeks after combination feeding before that.
- crying and thrashing and pulling legs up after feeding AND whenever put on her back (if we keep her upright after feeding she still does it)
- spitting up after feeding but also significant period afterwards (basically anytime she’s laid down)
- wind/hard tummy - seems bloated and does NOT like tummy massage 😂 bicycle legs, hot baths etc all tried without luck,
- not good at burping
- sleeping trouble esp. overnight but generally writhes as soon as laid down, ‘catnaps’
- hiccups multiple times a day
- dirty nappies frequent but very small amounts, like liquid (seedy originally, now just liquid, picture from today attached)
- straining to stool
- generally often seems like tummy is sore and she’s in pain 😭
- nappy rash pretty much constant even after creams etc
- all symptoms worse after cluster feeding periods
Things tried without success: infacol, infant gaviscon, tummy massage, burping for longer, upright BF positions, keeping upright for at least half hour after each feed.
I cut dairy from my diet 2 weeks ago and would say the wind and hard tummy are much better but not much else!
Any thoughts or advice?!
