My lovely DD is 17 days old and has been an extremely contented young lady thus far. Since birth she has been going 3 or 4 hours between feeds in the day and 5, 6 or 7 at night, going down awake to bed quite happily at 7pm etc- it been heaven! She is breast fed with the occasional top up as EMCS and her being 10lb left me with some supply issues to begin with. Although I think these are pretty much sorted now as when I have been topping up the last couple of days I think it has been fusiness rather than hunger and we had stopped befroe this for nearly a week.
For several days now she hasn't wanted to go to sleep (usually nods off after a feed) and has been seeming less and less happy. The health visitor suggested colic but she doesn't really cry, just wakes up distressed every hr or 2. She has got into a habit of waking with a cry, feeding frantically for a few minutes then falling asleep again but repeating the whole thing every half hour or so until she actually has 2 hours sleep. Could it be colic without the asscoiated crying? I just want my contenented little girl back or did I just have it too good for too long in the first place?
