You poor thing its awful when they are like this and cant tell you whats wrong. a freind of mine had similar problem with her child and her doc said mylanta after of before feeds i cant remember which but she said it helped a little you would have to ask your doc first but that is my suggestion. :) good luck hope you find something to help soon.

I have heard that if shes bringing her legs up its normally wind that shes trying to pass through, try helping her move the wind along by doing bicycle legs and cross your fingers and hope for the best!

It is after each feed. there is also infant gavisgon too.

Is your daughter on formula or breast milk?

Another thing you could try is brauers colic releif. That worked for my first son.

I hope she gets better soon

Hi mummy3 :hugs:

All I can add to the above advice is that maybe try holding her with her stomach against your forearm IYKWIM and rubbing her back...this almost always worked for my DD when she was a newborn/young baby.....

Sounds like wind pain tho........ poor little bub......wind pains can be very painful for adults let alone babies....

Goodluck and please let us know how she is doing!!

we used to burp jes sand then sat her in her baby rocker in a semi-recline position and it helped alot. Or put a pillow behind her back in a reclining position and it worked we used Brauer's Colic Relief and Gripe Water occasionally too

:( Poor thing i know what your going thru trust me.
Theres many things you can do to try to help them when it comes to wind,my dd had it and still gets it at times.
I always make sure i burp her for at least half an hour after every bottle,its worth it rather than being up all night with a screaming baby.

You can place a luke warm heat pack on your inside forearm and then place bubs stomach along it with her head in your hand and just pat her back,this usually soothing for them.

You can hold them with your arm wrapped around their stomach just under their ribcage with their back to your stomach and the other arm across the front and under their legs and jiggle up and down.this can release the wind sometimes.

Whilst sitting on your lap slowly tilt them right back then slowly back up again then rub her back again,this can bring the airbubbles to the surface.

I also used a product called marina infant mixture when she had bad wind that i just couldnt get up sometimes no matter what i did.
I brought it online through a company called morzone.
It worked wonders.

If none of this helps then you can also try a chiropractor,they can work wonders for babies with wind and reflux problems but it sounds like yours has wind just like mine.
