Colic Remedies

So over the past 6 weeks we've tried everything for colic, but just one at a time. I've bought gripe water and dentinox colic drops today in my last ditch hope it does something and after 6 weeks of 2-5 hour sleep that my 5.5month old will settle.

She is breastfed with a bottle of formula before bed, she's on kendamil but was on cow and gate (6oz about 10pm) we've tried no bottle at night and more bottles through the night, neither make a difference.

Can I use gripe water and dentinox together? I've spent a small fortune on all sorts of remedies and I'm really starting to lose it if I'm being honest.

Another question, if nothing worked for your babies remedy wise, when did the colic stop?

That sounds really tough OP and Colic is usually gone by that age.

Has LO been checked for Tongue Tie and have you read this article called Dairy and other food sensitivities in a BF baby"?

Please have a read of this. I think it reframes colic and explains newborn behavior really well.

Have you looked into silent reflux or cmpa? I was told the colic line when my daughter was unsettled but it never improved and by 4 months she was unbearable. We finally got on the right track with high dose reflux treatment and a dairy and soya free diet for me
