I’m sorry you’re struggling. That’s exhausting and sounds overwhelming. I was told to eliminate eggs and other dairy from my diet to see if that’s what’s making him gassy. Also smaller feedings more frequently to help with gas. I’m surprised gas drops don’t help your baby. :( Does your baby sleep better if she’s sitting up in a car seat for example? It’s not a long term solution but my gassy boy loves being upright and if I can’t get him in his crib for a nap he always sleeps good in his car seat (even if I just put him in it on the floor in our living room). Again, not a long term solution but one that could give a break. Or what about baby-wearing? Bonus that the pressure on her belly could help with gas bubbles. I’m sorry mama, I feel for you and will pray for you.
Which gas drops? I tried a couple with my baby and the one that worked best was mylacon he was comfortable again after the first day of use.
Mine is usually gassy more when I have dairy cheese I noticed so could be ur diet and sometimes harder to sleep if I have coffee that day as well . Maybe offer her a Binky instead if she just wants to soothe. Those early weeks they are up a lot but it gets better with time you got this
@Katie Duggan I can try. I’ve been having oatmeal to help with my milk. Also she usually like to sit it too she cries more when laying down
@Keri she doesn’t like the pacifier ☹️
Try burping her between feeds. Take her off your boobs after a few mins and burp her and then put her back. Lots of belly massages, bicycle kicks and sometimes a warm bath helps. Also bio gia drops and d drops helps.
