Things havent changed much for us. DH was up with Mikayla from 10.30pm to about 3.30am this morning as she just wouldnt settle and he wanted me to get some sleep. I'd be totally lost without him!!
Jen thanks for the tips. I have tried most of those but not bathing her when she has wind - I might give that a go. She is on both BM and formula (NAN HA) and tends to bring both up without fail! I bought some Infacol today and also some S26 formula for babies with reflux. I tried giving it to her but as its thicker than regular formula she couldnt suck hard enough to get any I might have to change the teat on her bottle so it comes out easier. The midwife from the health care clinic noticed that when she does bring milk up that its very phlemy - she said that it would be because she was overdue and would have swallowed a fair bit of amniotic fluid which will take a while to get out of her system completely so this might be contributing to her upset stomach.
Sarah I think I'll go to the GP tomorrow so that she can be assessed for lactose intolerance - apparently my mum didnt BF me for long because I had a slight intolerance - worth checking it out I think. You mentioned Infacol - Have you used it?? It says from 4 weeks and Mikayla is 3 weeks today - I assume it would be OK to use anyway?????
