Hello girls. Well my little lady is 6 days old today and she is doing great. However, she seems so unsettled sleep wise and is worse at night than she is during the day. She will wake regularly and cry out (not hunger) her little body goes all rigid and she pulls her legs up. I am sure this is a bit of tummy ache as i can see her straining, hear/feel her passing wind in her nappy. She does eventually have a poo but only a little. She will than settle to sleep, but 20 mins (ish) later, it happens again -normaly goes on like this for a good 3 hrs - I feel like i am constantly changing her nappy between feeds at night and her little bum is slightly sore.
Also she doesn't bring up much wind during/after feeding - we wind her for a good ten mins and may get one - two on a good day! How many 'burps' do your LO bring up?
So just some advice really - could it be constipation - she seems to 'go' a little easier during the day.
Is it just her tiny body getting used to digesting milk?
Wind/colic - are they the sam thing?
I really don't know Has anybody else had this/can offer advice?
Am so tired as although her feeds are beginning to settle into a routine (sometimes) i'm not getting to sleep due to the tummy/wind problem!
Maybe she needs a dif milk? She is on SMA Gold. Can anyone recommend a milk that is good for windy babies/easier on the tummy - digestion? There are sooo many milks out there i don't really know where to start......
Hope to hear your thoughts as this little issue is really upsetting me - i want my little one to feel comfortble and contented during her sleep/wake times xx
