Newborn suddenly crying after feeds / windy

[Llamasally]

Our 4 day old has since she was born fed very well (mixed feeding) and dropped straight back off to sleep happily.

DH fed her a formula feed last night at 7pm while I had a shower. He let her OD a bit and she had just over 50ml then started showing signs of a major tummy ache, writhing, crying, pulling legs up. We finally got some burps and a eventually a big poo and she settled off to sleep. She has however cried again and acted like her tummy hurts at both night feeds (with formula as we use pre mixed overnight).

Any ideas and what should we do? DC1 had terrible reflux but she doesn’t act like he did at all, not being sick afterwards and fine to lie back down in the crib once she has stopped having the pain. She also seems a bit snotty?? Tia

Could be CMPA? Less dairy passes through breastmilk so she might not react to you, but could be reacting to the formula perhaps?

Are her nappies mucousy?

Also - are you “normal” bottle feeding or laced feeding? My newborn is mixed fed and HV advised paced feeding for bottles, but it gave him the most horrendous wind - the cry was awful. We’ve gone back to normal bottle feeding and he’s fine now x

Paced feeding, not laced!

@Flappityflippers1 I had never heard of this tbh, a quick google today and gave it a little try and seems to be some improvement- thank you! Am also going to try a different formula, maybe Hipp?

If you’re in the UK, I’ve seen a lot of posters rave about kendamil - apparently it doesn’t have palm or fish oil in which can affect little ones (just what I’ve read/heard, not first hand experience)

Try a different formula or maybe increase the proportion of water:formula...it may be just too much/concentrated for his little belly. You might need to interrupt feeds more frequently to get wind up & spend longer awake winding before putting to sleep...very hard to do I know when they are dozing off & you are dropping from exhaustion! Congratulations on your new baby & I hope you find an easy solution. Mine was allergic to regular formula....was quite clearly that as was BF for months & immediately we switched hit problems...we ended up using soy milk formula for about 18 mths ..until we finished bottle feeding.
