Advice 8 week old baby

3 replies

Our 8 week old dd has over the last week started to become very upset whilst feeding and after feeding. She's also being sick after feeding. We have spoken to the health visitor who has suggested this could be colic so we have changed formula to comfort and started Dentinox,

Do any of you have any experience of this? Or have any advice on what we this could be, as we feel being sick doesnt suggest a colic symptom.

Reflux?

Reflux. Feed sitting up, and keep baby sat up a little afterwards too. I propped up the head of DSs crib too. We found SMA lactofree milk helped too, but we ended up getting ranitidine from the Dr.

If she is arching back, doesn't like being flat, pushing bottle out of mouth, being sick, fractious etc it could definitely be reflux. Doctors would probably prescribe infant gaviscon to try. Some people find this causes constipation (we did), but once you've tried it, they will move to ranitidine which really helps. You could also try Infacol which doesn't need a prescription.
