Hey all
Right dc2 2 weeks old, really struggling with tummy and showing signs of reflux and I'm praying not but may be the onset of colic but a 2 weeks who can really tell. Its def not any kind of intolerance because she we have many occasions where she'l feed and settle fine.
When she's awake I'm finding she's agitated if she's not latched to my breast. I'm demand feeding so letting her as and when but nxt wk my dp goes back to work and theirs no way my ds who is 2 will tolerate her fussing and wanting my breast for 3 hours like she's done today.
I think she's trying to self soothe her tummy pain with milk which is then causing reflux.
How do I know when she's had enough milk ?? And how do I distract her until nxt feed when all she does is root around fussing for more milk. I really can't sit for 3 hours putting her on and off I just havnt got that free time.
She takes ages to get her wind up thats causing a big part of the problem. currently using infacol and dentinox coilef.
Any advice on my diet dos and donts to make her life easier would also be appreciated.
I really don't remember my dc1 having these issues so although I'm a pro at breast feeding feeling abit lost on what to do with her.
Or is this all normal and I've just conviently forgotten ??
