I am currently concerned about my 13 week old little girl. She has had this problem on and off since she was born but this seems to have worsened over the last couple of weeks.

She feeds mostly every four hours, I am feeding on demand so if she wants to be fed before this then I will. She seems to have only gained one pound in the last four weeks which seems like very little to me. She currently weighs 11lb 4oz. She has suffered with colic since about three weeks but I have been giving her colief for he last three weeks and since then there has been virtually no pain which is a huge relief. I plan to start reducing the dose now as she is 13 weeks. She still suffers with a lot of wind, especially in the night and often wakes up grunting and straining which is followed by a lot of blowing off.

I have always worried about her getting enough as she only feeds from one breast and a feed lasts an average of ten mins but she seems to be satisfied following this, however one in about every three feeds (and recently more) she lets out a little scream, arches her back and come off the breast after about five minutes. She will then latch back on and after about two sucks do the same again, this will continue about ten times until she eventually cries and I have to take her off (even though I suspect she is still hungry). I give her a break and try again but she either won't take it or the process of crying and pulling off starts again. Once I sit her up to burp her she stops crying and seems fine, she will then wait four hours before wanting her next feed. Needless to say I am worried that she is not getting enough or gaining enough weight. She was feeding at about 9PM when I put her to bed, followed by a feed at about 00.45 which I wake her for when I go to bed, then one wake in the night between 5AM and 6AM and sleeping until about 08.45 but she has recently been waking earlier and more often. I am not sure if this is necessarily due to hunger or if the wind in her tummy is waking her up???

Any suggestions???
