hiya ladies, hope you dont mind me having a moan, im sat here in tears as im just so tired and i don't know what to do anymore. up till now we've been having really bad nights as Charlie's body clock was all out of sync but i thought we'd cracked this 2night as he settled so well at his bedtime feed but since then he's been so unsettled. He's having real trouble bringing up wind, and only having about an oz of his feed as a result. He then dozes off but then throws back up his milk and is hungry again but then i try and feed him and as he still has wind the whole thing is repeated.
He's having infacol and I changed to tommee tippee bottles, i try burping him in different positions and massaging his tummy but nothing! I can see and hear he is uncomfortable but can't seem to relieve it.
I never had a decent nights sleep thru out my pregnancy and it's continuing now but it's starting to make me feel ill, i've had a banging head for the last few days and been sick thru tiredness. I dont know what more i can do but i know i cant continue like this.

im having exactly the same problem.mine seems to want feeding every 1 and a half hours and her top lip is nearly always blue.try getting some dentinox from boots.it helps a bit,goes in the bottle so they dont taste it.suitable from birth and can have up to 6 doses a day.let me know how you get on and just keep reminding yourelf that it will pass even though it dosent feel like it at the time claire x
I was the same as you a couple of weeks ago. I was in tears and falling out with oh cos i was exhausted. Frankie would just scream in pain cos she couldnt get her wind up. I would definitely recommend swapping to cow and gate comfort. First night on it was awful cos it upset her bottom!! But we stuck it out and she is now feeding every 4 hours - if not more!! I would also recommend a swing if you can afford one. It is brilliant. We have this one but in a different colour.

I hope you manage to crack it soon. Im so glad we changed milk and used colief. Its now like we have a different baby. I know exactly how you feel so if you have any more questions just ask.
Sorry theres more - when we first swapped milk we were giving her a little bit of cooled boiled water after each feed to help flush the old milk out her system.
