It’s possibly reflux, have you taken her to the GP?

I've got a 7mo and he had reflux. We found it easier going to the Health Visitor than the GP (who had fobbed us off with a "they grow out of it"). The HV had lots of direct experience and we told the GP, "the HV said to ask for a prescription". He's better now he's weaning, but the first few months were so difficult until we got the medicine.

If you happen to be prescribed Infant Gaviscon, we found that the full dose was too much and caused awful constipation. We reduced it and gave it using a Calpol syringe until we found what worked for our baby. Think it was 2.5-5ml doses at first!

!!! Of course, this was our experience and you should definitely go to the GP because it could be an allergy or something too !!!

Good luck!xx
