Hi all. I am absolutely desperate please help me :( my baby is 15 weeks old but was born just over 5 weeks early so she’s sort of more like a 10 week old baby. She is so windy and very often she will cry out in pain and squirm and then pass gas so it’s obviously very painful for her. It absolutely breaks my heart to see her in pain like this and I feel really traumatised by it as it’s been going on for so long - I have been holding out because everywhere says that babies cry less after 6 or even 12 weeks and their digestive systems mature but it’s not happening.
I feel so desperate because I’ve mentioned it to the health visitor and GP numerous times and I’m not getting anywhere. She currently has infacol and we’ve also tried gripe water. She’s also on omeprazole for reflux if that is worth mentioning. I do tummy massage and bicycle legs etc but the problem is not that she can’t pass gas, it’s that it’s painful for her.
What do I do? I’m going back to the GP tomorrow as last time they suggested I go dairy free and that hasn’t helped at all after 6 weeks of being dairy free.
Has anyone else dealt with this and is there anything she can be prescribed or I can buy to help her not be in pain?
I’m also going to see a cranial osteopath next month.
TIA
