For around 2 weeks I think Alfie has had colic. He suddenly went from a happy baby who rarely cried and slept 7 hours in one go at night, to crying all the time (even half way through feeds) and feeding every 2 hours, even through the night.
He is incredibly gassy and it obviously causes him lots of pain and often wakes him up at night.
I've given him infacol before every feed for a week now and I thought it was working, as early on in the week he slept for 5 hours at night but for the past 2 days he has been terrible, crying all the time, REALLY gassy and straining to go to the loo during and after every feed ( and sometimes in his sleep too).
He hasn't passed a stool for 24hrs now, which I know doesn't sound terrible, but it is very unusual for him, normally he goes 3-4 times a day, sometimes more.
I have gripe water in, but haven't tried it yet as he is only just over a month old, has anyone found gripe water better than infacol?
Any other suggestions? Please - I need some sleep!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He is fed EBM by the way.
