My DD is 3.5 weeks old, the first couple weeks were great - she slept reasonably well, didn't mind lying awake in her Moses basket and just generally seemed quite content.
Now, however, she is so unsettled. She has terrible terrible wind that is sore for her to pass, she writhes about after feeds and doesn't like to be put down.
Also, she is so congested and she's now struggling to breath through her nose. She grunts and chokes on mucous all the time, especially when lying down. I was told she'd likely be quite mucousy as she was delivered quickly but she's getting worse. I use saline spray on her, a steamy bathroom and also use a nasal aspirator to get the worst out - what does come out is really thick and green and this morning had blood in it too. I've raised her head slightly in the sleepyhead but it doesn't seem to have made much difference.
She is my second DC and although some of this is familiar I don't remember it being this bad. She hardly cried at all before but has started crying really hard.
She's being bf and just wants to feed constantly when like this.
I've just managed to calm her down with a dummy which, when she takes it, seems to keep her happy for short spells.
Does all this sound normal? Should I phone the HV?
