Colic

[lucyFTM]

Anyone else being driven slightly insane by colic ? 😖 my DD is nearly 3 weeks & she just doesn't settle

I can remember the crying and it can be really, really hard so you have my sympathy.

Is it just in the evening? Can I ask you what you've tried so far?

You can use gripe water from 4 weeks which literally changed my life lol. Also health vistor recommended infacol to help them bring wind up too and he was much better using a combination of them both. We found the gripe water better for immediate relief and infacol just helped in general. We also ended up co-sleeping as he seemed to go off better so if you’re comfortable with that it may help you get some sleep. Everything started getting better for us at 4 weeks so hopefully not too long for you!

It's pretty much all day but I would say it's worst in the afternoon.
I'm using infacol which makes her burp easier (I stop halfway through feed to burp too) but she's down to 1 poo a day at the most & looks like she's always uncomfortable.
I've been doing bicycle legs & knees pushed up to tummy. The 'I love you' tummy massage is hard to do effectively if she's upset & squirmy!
Literally counting down the days until I can give her gripe water haha 🥵

If you are FFing, you have you tried putting Dentinox in the bottle? It might help to swap the brand if milk you're using too?

I’m using little remedies organic which is suitable from two weeks. Expensive but worth it
