DS is nearly 3 weeks old, and for around the past week has been screaming intermittently and bringing his knees up, often passing wind as he does so. He also quite often makes a kind of possetting/vomiting noise, but nothing comes out (don't know if it's not coming up far enough, or if he's swallowing it down or what...). He's obviously suffering with something in the gut department, and it doesn't seem to be solved by bicycling legs etc. We do make sure to wind him between breasts and after every feed.
He is also only really happy if he's held upright, which I think is causing our problem of him not settling in his cot.
Feeling v guilty, as colic didn't even really occur to me and DP, and my mother is visiting and is convinced that's what it is (turns out there are some advantages to having your mother stay - she does the 3am floor walk with him!)
Is there any reason not to give something like infacol a shot? I assume the worst it will do is absolutely nothing? He is exclusively BF, feeding around every 2 hours during the day and 1-4 hourly at night, depending on his mood!
