I am having the same issue . My baby is 4 weeks and I don’t know what to do . I think I might change the formula I believe my baby might be sensitive to it

Is it gas? My baby is six and a half weeks and has been dealing with gas and is struggling to pass it. Warm baths help Exercise Massages

Same happening over here. I’m wondering if ours has colic… but here are some things that have helped: - Feed her upright - Change from pace feeding to regular full formula in the nipple feeding so she swallows less air - We moved to a different bottle/nipple with a faster flow - Mylicon gas drops after each feeding - Hold her upright for ~20m after each meal - Switch to a allergy sensitive formula We’re at 6 weeks 4 days over here and it’s been quite a journey! 😅

@Stephanie this is how we’ve normally fed both of our babies now from the beginning except we administer Mylicon when needed and haven’t used allergy sensitive formula. Truly helps

Oh I hope we can get off the mylicon sooner than later! She gets horrible sleep if she doesn’t get it though 😭

She is probably cluster feeding because she is growing or going through a growth spurt and they just want to feed, that was my LO a week ago. He is 5 weeks and I just feed on command, even if it’s been 45min, I feed, I try to do 1oz feedings if it’s only been 30min or so, but if it’s an hour or more I do his regular feed, if he doesn’t finish the bottle, it’s okay. My pediatrician said that’s fine, they are growing and need more feedings.

My son was the same and he is a year old he was colic they way to see if it is actually trapped gas Is a belly massage clock wise and to get the bowels moving at 6 weeks they don’t know how to regulate bowel on their own so they need a little help you can also do bicycle legs pushing the knees to the chest ( sometimes they fart during this exercise) other times they release the bowels. If your baby is colic there is no actual cure besides comfort sometimes white noise does help soothe them. Mycloin drops should be given prior to feeding because it takes a while to work so delivering does after won’t be as effect. Also a slow feeding colic bottle may help with how fast the milk is administered if the milk is coming out to fast they swallow too much and have a hard time burping Hope this helps 💕

My baby girl was inconsolable for 3-4 every night and giving Mylicon every feed completely solved it!

Ya my son was like this but breastfed. It verrrrry slowly got better and stopped at 6 months. He still spits up occasionally.

It's the formula. I'm breastfeeding hardly any spit up. I know you have your routine but maybe you want to try a little breastfeeding? Sometimes the babies just want attention like mine needs my attention 24/7 practically.
