A bad night twice?

My 4 week old baby loves to eat and sleep but the last 2 nights it’s been extreme gas pain at her night time feeds which range from either 12.30-2.30am or 4.30/6.30am sometimes is taking 2 hours to do bottle and settle her down. She’s been on dentinox for 2 weeks now and I stopped it for 1 day and 1 night as I thought it was making her stomach sore as she was crying 24-7 but it wasn’t it she was wanting another oz ☹️ so we are back to square 1 with being up all night until she settles back with the dentinox again as she was doing 4 hour stretches at night perfectly. Gripe water doesn’t do much for her and we have tried infacol.

My little boy suffered with this and I didn’t use either dentinox or gripe water but we would make sure we burped him really well as he would often burp several times after a feed. Also there’s a belly massage that really helped. You can probably find it online but basically you massage in downward motions on their belly 6 times like as if pushing the gas down their stomach. Then round in clockwise circles with both hands to push the gas round and down 6 times. Then hold their legs up to their chest and hold them up type thing/bicycle legs. Google first to make sure this is right but it worked for us. They just say not to do it if the baby is crying. Also hold baby upright for half hour after a feed if possible. We had a long phase of being up for a long time like you are though we just had to ride it out x

@Emily thank you x

Do you burp inbetween bottles? My baby boy really suffered was gas, I used to give him a 4oz bottle and stop every single ounce to give him and he’s stomach a break and try to get gas up! Even using the bicycle method (there was some hissy fits) but he eventually leaned that he cannot have any more until he burps and then he just became a routine! Ibut I found if I could get 3 burps up per feeding he would straight after the bottle. I used all of them drops! I found the only drops that actually worked for him was the colief drops? Bit expensive but they definitely worked!

I use cow n gate colic and constipation milk, and after a while of me doing this routine with taking the bottle away until he relives some gas, he is now burping himself at 14 weeks! Now we’ve taking away any kind of drops and put him on normal cow n gate!
