Colic Redux

DD 4 months has started waking in the night with terrible trapped wind despite being winded and happy when being put to bed. She was colicy in the evenings until 3 months but never had a problem at nights. She's now spending half the night awake seemingly in pain and I'm getting pretty desperate for sleep. Anyone else experienced the sudden return of colic or have any idea what might be causing this?

Have you recently changed her milk or started weaning? Dietary changes can upset their digestive system

Could it be teething? No red cheeks but very dribbly. Sleeps better when in bed with me.

Hi me again, as you can see I'm regularly up half the night with DD (7 weeks old) She's terribly windy too and either a generally bad sleeper or a cuddle monster who doesn't like to be put down!
DD also has reflux which is worse at night & one idea is that it causes her to gulp air hence wind. Raising her mattress a bit seemed to help.
Baby massage can help with wind too.
Good luck & I've got my fingers crossed for both of us that they grow out of this very soon Smile

It could be a lot of things, a growth spurt, food you had..my dd had strong winds after I had broccoli for example, teething, .. it is hard to say.

the thing after we have tried all the stuff from the pharmacie that have worked really well is baby stomach ease tea. we use still use it when she is unsettled.

Thanks. Might try the tea as nothing else seems to be having any effect. I only hope she grows out of it soon because I'm shattered Sad

Not heard of the tea, where do you get it & is it like typhoo tea or have I just made myself look stupid ?!
