My daughter will be 16 weeks old on Monday and the screaming still doesn’t seem to be showing any signs of slowing, we’re breastfeeding, but she will only feed if I stand and walk around with her otherwise she screams until we give up,
she’s currently on 5mls of omeprazole a day, my diets dairy free, caffeine free, soy free, doesn’t seem to have helped in the slightest.
we give her biogaia drops once a day, no difference,
im just at my wits end in all honesty, we’ve an appointment with the paediatrician on the 8th of may but it just feels so far away, I just want her to be happy and comfortable, she still gets gas pain and struggles passing wind and will tense up and scream when she needs to trump, i never experienced this with my other two children i just don’t understand what’s going on 😕👎
we’ve done all the belly rubs and bicycle legs, warm baths, slings ect but we just have no success, does it get better? ☹️

I’m so sorry you are going through this, I went through it too with my youngest it’s really tough. Mine settled down about 5 months and by 8 months he was such a happy baby. Sleeping through the night and everything. I think eating actual food helped him with his reflux.
I hope you have got some good support. It DOES get better and it’s not your fault.
