Gassy baby

She constantly has trapped wind and gets really upset with the pain. I’ve tried different exercises etc doesn’t matter how much she gets winded she will sleep for 20 minutes then wake up in pain as soon as she farted she falls back to sleep but then about 20 minutes later she’s crying in pain again 🤦🏽‍♀️ first we were told she had colic then we were sent to hospital for blood in stools so was told she had CMPA then a week later she was monitored over night and was told they don’t think it’s CMPA it’s reflux and she’s now on thickener. It’s just a struggle to get her to settle and although the bowel movements are good and sickness has stopped she’s still in pain with the gas 😣 anyone else having this issue?

Could have written this myself, currently going through all the motions with. She’s just been out on thickener now too and sickness too has stopped but again full of gas. She has no trouble burping and farting but it never seems enough, she can do 3/4 big burps, 3-4 farts fall asleep then 15 mins later wakes crying ans you hear and feel it all on her tummy again and then it just gets harder to bring back up so crying and discomfort till the next feed and cycle begins over and over. I pace feed, keep her upright, slow flow teats, anti colic bottles you name it nothing seems to work x

I've recently bought a probiotic and saw a lot of the reviews said it helped with wind. Could be worth trying.

Our drs gave us infant gaviscon for reflux and our LO was completely transformed after

@Lisa it’s been a nightmare honestly wish they could tell us what is actually wrong. Did have gaviscon but that made her reflux worse so now on carobel which is what my eldest had and so far that’s worked well. I may look into probiotics is there one you’ve seen for newborns I know a lot are from 6 months 😅
