yellow- thank you for the comfort feeding pointers. Some of those are ringing true over the last couple of days so I'll keep an eye on it and see if it continues.
Sometimes I've noticed that passing wind gives him some relief but again, going to be more vigilant and look out for it now.
When you say extended crying being periods > 30 mins, is that inconsolable crying or would crying where he can be consoled but it's only fairly short lived count?
Finally, how can I persuade my GP that these periods of crying aren't just 'colic' (the unexplained evening crying variety and not the sore stomach variety), if indeed it doesn't seem to be wind related?
pregnant- a dummy doesn't tend to cut the mustard when he's like this. It may cause a temporary pause in the crying but then he'll carry on. Could this indicate true hunger or is it a possible reflux indicator because he wants milk to soothe his throat?
I'm sorry to hear about your uncle.
pebble- no wonder you were reduced to tears. Some good advice given from other posters further up the thread. When he asked, did you explain that you needed more support? (I'm only on pg 25 so apologies if you've already answered this)
