    Danstar - it could be so many things. Is she formula fed or breastfed? What is her sleeping patterns like? What do you do to settle her at night? What sort of cry is it? It's a needle in a haystack so if you could tell me a bit more info perhaps we can help a bit better!

    I was completely misinformed myself and found that when I started Elijah on some thickened formula for his reflux (along with breastfeeds), it made his wind worse (of course being thicker to digest and formula is harder to digest anyway) and he was more miserable with it, so I gave it up and he soon grew out of the reflux. Zantac seemed to help a little, but I think the best thing we used was brauers colic relief from the chemist.

    Hi Kelly,
    Do you think that it would be a bad idea to use both Brauers AND Losec? The Brauers seemed to really settle her tummy tonight. I could hear her tummy rumblng with all the wind, and she was tensing so badly from the pain.. so decided to give her Brauers as well. She went to sleep about 15 minutes afterwards. I still dont know if she had a really bad colicy problem or if it is a combination of both colic and reflux. I cant imagine colic to keep her up all day crying (?) All I know is that she is in a great deal of pain and cant sleep beacuse of it. Even when she eventually nods off, she is very restless and groans a lot - which really is distressing.

    Thanks for your help
    Kelly, the full story is under another post in the "general discussion"
