Second this, we got prescribed this yesterday and we have a different baby today!
Yeah we have some already, going to try it in her next bottle! X
Have you considered it might be a milk allergy? My little one had this and is breastfed. I've now cut out milk and all symptoms have gone. We found that holding him upright for 30 minutes after feeds and burping every 5 minutes of a feed helped before we tried the allergy thing.
@Lacey she was on dairy free milk for 3 weeks and it didn’t seem to help at all x
It takes at least 4 weeks for the gut to heal so 3 weeks wouldn't be long enough to know if it had made a true difference
@Lacey the doctor seemed to think 3 weeks was enough
Ah strange, doctor told us minimum of 4wks. Maybe go back and ask for some medication
No advice but I’m in the same boat but no help at all; she is so colicky doesn’t settle at all and is wide awake for hours at a time and she has reflux too it’s terrible :(
Are you using colic drops? Gripe water? Have you tried reflux milk as that helped my little one, and I swaddle I highly recommend its the only thing which gets my baby to settle
Also something as simple as switching formula and changing bottles can help we did this with my first and noticed a massive difference in her behaviour.
Have you tried infant Gaviscon? We got it prescribed by our GP, but apparently you can buy it over the counter from pharmacies and can get it at most supermarkets.
