Fussy Baby

Hi All - looking for some advice.

My 10 week old baby has been fussy in the evenings for about 2 weeks now. Shes fine all day, gets to tea time and starts fussing for no reason. She’s fed, nappy changed, bathed, fresh grow for bed. Shes not constipated either as she goes once a day sometimes twice. We initially thought it was colic, swapped her milk to special milk to accommodate after GP gave the go ahead to do so… that made her worse and caused horrible constipation. So it isn’t that and now I have zero clue what it could be. She arches her back, goes ridged and straight. I put her down so shes flat and she just cries. I sit her up straight against my body she tries to arch her back again. Regardless of what I do she just screams / cries then randomly stops on her own.

Has this happened to anyone else? Just want to know if its normal or whether i need to be booking a GP appointment etc. I had 2 other children and never had this. I love my baby all the world, but my god i’d love to just eat my tea without the screaming. I get so overwhelmed by it, which isn’t on her at all. Its more to do with me and the fact I can’t figure out whats wrong with her which means i can’t soothe her, so then i get overwhelmed and struggle with it.

Thanks - C x

It does sound awfully like colic despite the change of milk not working for that. Could you try infacol?

@Kary26 i use infacol before every bottle as shes a bugger to wind without it.
