Waking every 2 hours or less at 4 months

[Lea2003]

Dd is 18 weeks and wakes every 45 mins to 2 hrs in the night with wind (trumps like a bloke in the pub!) She is breastfed apart from baby rice once a day (she was like this prior to solids). For the last 3 weeks she has been like this, before she slept for 5 or 6 hours at a time. GP says nothing wrong, have tried Infacol, changing diet and currently on homeopathic Colocynth tablets for colic.

Any ideas please or else can you lend me some matchsticks for my eyes and a smile or two cos I'm that knackered I think I have forgotten how to.

Cheers

My dd is around the same age and i wont be giving solids until 6 months.Any reason for the baby rice?

ds has been doing this, though he is much younger. Is it possible that it's something else and not the wind waking her? (ds has a cold)

Anyway I find with him, and found with dd that sometimes it's just habit. The trick is to soothe them back to sleep without feeding and that seems to break the habit. I use a dummy for this, but sometimes just laying him on my tummy helps.

If it is the wind, could it be the feeding position you use in the night? ds has worse wind when I feed him lying down. It's probably not colic though as that tends to be after feeds, not 2 hours later (plus I used a herbal colic cure for dd with absolutely no effect).

How often are you giving her the homeopathic remedy? Could you be 'proofing'? Causing a reaction?

I started solids cos she was waking up hungry 3 times at night and each time fed for 10-20 mins. Am only giving baby rice at HV suggestion.
As for homeopathic remedy am jst giving it up to 5 times a day before food and have been told to stop if the symptoms disappear. Think that is what u mean by proofing.
