Thread: does this sound normal to you?

Thank you!I definitely think the gas is causing some issues

Hi Ladies, DD has just gone through 6 week growth spurt, which now seems to be coming to a close-ish. She was grizzly and wanted to feed throughout - totally normal. Then on Thursday night, was back to 10min-ish feeds very regularly, and a good nights sleep (waking up twice for feeds, not grizzly) However, last night, she only slept for an hour! She was crying a lot (and she's not a big crier) and only 'snacked' for feeds. One...

Crying can cause gas, and I imagine guzzling can too. Poor kiddo! Sounds like you both had a rough night. It sounds like she might have gotten severely overtired, and just couldn't settle. It's possible the gas was painful, which made her cry and not want to eat, which made her hungry, causing more crying, more gas, etc. until she was just so exhausted and sore she didn't know which way was up. It can be tough, but if she only...

We found infacol constipated Noah, he's doing better now without it and we walk him about upright to get rid of the gas. We also give some aired water by syringe (midwife recommended this) He wouldn't take it in a bottle.

could be trapped wind or colic hun.... i found gripe water was better than infacol , but bear in mind it only keeps for 2 weeks once opened hope she gets better soon

We found infacol made the farting/trapped wind worse actually. Have you tried bounding her on your knee? It makes Imogen fart like a trouper, which seems to relieve things. Also, if your baby doesn't mind baths, a nice hot bath will help her fart too. It was deffo just a phase with Mog, and she snapped out of it pretty quickly, but occasionally she'll be like that again and there's very little I can do about it. Last time, I...
