I posted on here last week but just wanted some advice.

Baby is almost 2 weeks old so very new to the world and I can't remember this period with my first DC.

DD2 is a dream all day. She feeds and sleeps and you wouldn't know she is here. But at night she is extremely hard to settle after the 12/1am bottle. She seems only to want to lie on me and when I put her back in moses basket she will awaken and start crying. This doesn't happen any other time of day but will go on for a few hours at night.

Midwife suggested colic? And I've no experience of that really. Is it likely to be a build up of wind or lactose even though she's winded throughout the day and doesnt do this or appear uncomfortable in the day? I just want to be able to help her if there is something causing this. If it was on/off throughout the day after each bottle it would make more sense to me.

Is this something to live through/ or does anyone have similar experience?
