Hi all, this is my first time at doing this, and am just wanting a bit of advice really if anyone has any. My little girl is 9 weeks old tomorrow, she was breast fed for first month, but unfortunately I suffered with an infection and after that have not been able to. She is on Altimal first milk.
She suffers, we think with trapped wind, we've tried infacol and gripe water and neither have had much effect with her, she has good burps but still seems uncomfortable. We were recommended to use Colief, started 3 days ago. We haven't seen much change yet, is this normal?
She strains a lot both in the day and during her sleep at night, she doesn't always wake up but she sounds like she's really trying to push, like she wants to trump! She poos once a day, or every other (was every day up until last week.) there's no blood in her poo. she gets really upset and over the last 2 days she has strarted crying whilst feeding, and griping, she squirms and cries. This isn't like her, she just normally cries if you want to wind during a feed! Her knees come up and she really is crying with discomfort, after feeds and sometimes without feeding.
Spoke to docs and health visitor, as she had her jabs on Thursday, both said babies suffer like this and don't think there is anything wrong. Should we stick with colief? Any help appreciated!
