Hi everyone, I need help! My brain can't work all this out... I've got some Colief to give my 4 week old DD as she's very colicky and infacol and gripe water don't seem to have helped (been through some trial and error over the past couple weeks). We're also doing all the other suggested methods for easing colic... Bicycle legs, tummy massage, rocking, dummy etc.
I'm breastfeeding on demand, and she has no regular feeding schedule so sometimes wants to feed every hour, sometimes every 2 and a half hours throughout the day. The Colief instructions of expressing "a few tablespoons" BEFORE EVERY feed, then give on a spoon, just won't be practical - I can't anticipate when she'll want feeding through the day to prep the dosage and she won't be patient enough for me to express every time before feeding her (she doesn't give any gentle cues when hungry anymore - she goes from fast asleep to screaming for milk in seconds!)
Has anyone had any positive experience of giving Colief in any alternative method while BF? Any advice for a desperate, exhausted and overwhelmed 1st-time Mum?!
