Hi all. You may have seen my other countless threads.
DD2 is 15 weeks and had antibiotics at birth for a few days for suspected sepsis. She's always struggled with wind and poo, constantly straining and fussy until she finally has an explosion. DD1 was CMPA so that was my initial thought- I've been dairy and soy free for 14 weeks now but she just seems to be increasingly unsettled. She does have some good days here and there but they've become less frequent. She does bring up quite a bit of milk but doesn't seem bothered by it, she is far more bothered by the farts and difficulty pooping.
We've seen 2 consultants- both have said that she just has a sensitive gut due to the antibiotics at birth (most likely) and she will just grow out of it. I believe them. HOWEVER I also have a 2.5 year old and am really struggling during the day. DD2 is either feeding or crying. She used to be a decent napper until last week, now she just won't settle until she's pooped, IF she poops. Sometimes she will doze off on me from sheer exhaustion of crying and screaming but the second I put her down, she's up. She does not like the sling as she can't kick her legs out as she does most of the day to get the farts out.
Pleaseeee tell me someone's been through similar and it gets better? I feel like it's getting worse and not better. Her weight gain is fine. Lots of wet nappies and on average a good number of dirty ones- they just come in avalanches.
