Ds is three weeks old and cries all the time

[edwfaith]

Hi, so my ds is 3 weeks today... he cries all the time when he's not on my boob and even when on the boob feeding he'll suddenly start crying as if he's uncomfortable. I hate seeing him like this, any tips on how I can make him more comfortable? It seems like bad wind/colic I've tried winding him and giving him oral colic drops but they seem to make him worse. :-(

My DS is the same age and was the same, I spoke to our GP who prescribed baby gaviscon to try and although it is a fab with breastfeeding he is so much more settled within days!!

Maybe give the doctor a call see if they can help?

Keep baby head above stomach - lying flat makes it worse - stops the acid rising into the throat -

Roll in a towel under the mattress cushion for nappy change bouncy chair inbetween etc - see a high difference in 2 days

My second was like this. It was a shock after having an easy baby first time.

I thought she might have lip tie. She did. Also a posterior tongue tie. Got it privately lasered.

Unfortunately, she just had colic. She cried so much. It peaked at 8 weeks and was much improved at 12 weeks.

20 weeks is a happy baby.

But I did workout that me eating dairy upsets her stomach within hours.
