I have a 3 weeks old daughter that just won't stop crying...
Since a couple of weeks now she's been throwing up after each feed, hiccuping, coughing, crying arching her back, and seems overall to be very uncomfortable. We went to see a paediatrician who said she probably has reflux and colic.
She only sleeps out of exhaustion, otherwise she would feed and fall asleep for maybe 30 min up to one hour before screaming again... It would then take us 1-2 hours to settle her down again.
We tried gaviscon but it did nothing. The paediatrician prescribed Omeprazole which we have started today.
She was EBF until last week, we then did combo feeding (formula) but the paediatrician told us to stick to one milk - so she is now EFF (Hipp organic with MAM bottles).
He also told us to be careful with cluster feeding as she was at a point where she would feed every hour, probably more to soothe than anything else. He told us this would make it worst, so we are now on a more strict schedule feeding her every 3 hours. It did seem to improve the vomiting and reflux, but she is still screaming constantly (at this point not even sure why, probably just colic).
Anyway, I know time will make a difference but my husband and I are exhausted physically and mentally. We try to team up as much as possible so we can both get rest and a break from her but we're just getting more and more frustrated. We just don't know how to get through another 9 weeks like that when the last 2 seemed like pure hell.
Not even sure what I'm looking for as I've read every single thread on the topic and know there isn't a magical cure (at least not for us anyway).
We might try infacol without much hope and we booked an appointment with an osteopath. Trying every thing we can to make her feel better!
Anyone else going through this or have gone through this? What worked for you?
