I second AJP's recommendation, I saw Braden with my first DS. They also have a practice in Boronia and I've seen Paul C for DS2, he is WONDERFUL. Both bubs became very settled after a visit with them.
trish i saw braeden in boronia!!!
I've been to the Boronia one too & also in Wantirna Mall there's an excellent Chiro!
Me too AJP! Braden is fantastic isn't he? Paul is too, DS2 went from a bad day sleeper to a great day sleeper after our first visit with him. I wanted to go back and hug him!
yep lovely guy, VERY though!!! we went for neck issues/flat head!!
i used to work almost next door to his practise in ivanhoe!
hi tracey!
Mel, I use donnalix to help with the wind pains (helps them bring it up, and has something to lessen the pains) and if u suspect refulx, gaviscon should help (both are OTC meds so no script needed!). I'm suspecting my man get's it at times. I have had exact same problems. But it's settling a bit as he's learning how to push out the wind etc. But he still arches his back when on boob sometimes and has a vomit 2-3hrs after a feed sometimes. But My man is handling it without anything. We manage to get it up and he feels better so...
some things u can try are cycling the legs (lay bub on back and make motions like he/she is riding a bike) helps them move it thru, warm DEEP baths so they can kick legs and move wind thru, pressure on tummy while rubbing the back helps....
Just letting u know it does get better and it shouldn't take too long hon. The main problem is usually that they don't know how to burp it up and fluff it out the other end so they end up in pain. Once they learn that, it all settles a fair bit. There may still be bad times, but they are less regular. Hope some of my suggestions help.
So infacol and massage haven't helpped...
Schmickers... She eats, plays ans sleeps perfect during the day, she is only up for an hour to an hour and a half at the most... takes a little to settle, but just 'normal' baby settling... it hits 7-8pm and it's on for young and old, and we do the exact same thing with her.... ETA: She has been doing this since 2 days old, so I am guessing not to do with a growth spurt.
Have a M&CHN appt this morning, and if I cant get an answer from her, I will take her to the children's...
Will also look into the paed chiro... thanks!
ETA: We are FF as she was feeding on the boob for 3 hours straight and come off for an hour and go again for 3... I couldn't do anything for DD1 so the boob got the boot!
