will i ever learn?
in Baby
when jessica is hungery there is no build up, she just screams.
i know hr cry for when shes having a moan.
she had her last bottle at 4.15pm which was 3 hours since her last one. i spent a good 30-40 mins trying to wind her but only got one burp out of her.
shes been in her chair doing a sort of moany cry which got louder. i thought it might be trapped wind. hubby thought it was hunger. so i made her a bottle and shes had 1oz. shes now asleep.
im worried that im mistaking trapped wind for hunger.

sorry, how old is she?
when she feeds do you stop part way and wind her?
how do you wind her? (rolling round in circles / rubbing her back etc)
does she empty bottles?
have you tried massaging her tum?
it maybe that you are not winding her the way that is best for her, or that she needs a littl bit more than what you are giving her to make hr more setlled. some babies do go from nothing to scream instead of a gentle build up, but if you are worried ask to see your HV / MW

thanks for the advice
if she is only taking 2oz at a time, how often is she feeding? or was she very small? it does seem a small amount for a 6wk baby. if she is feeding very frequently, see if you can get her to go a bit longer between, and she may have a bigger amount. i think ideally she should be on about 6 feeds a day.

Have you spoken to HV to see if she has any thoughts? xx
i think its a common problem getting wind out of newborns, cam got a lot easier after a few months on pat and it was out!
