Pantha/Belfie - Chloe often spits up a little amount. And she will cry and scream and pull off the boob - go straight back on - pull off, kick me etc (usually at the end of the day). For Chloe, its not reflux - its really bad wind. My let down is really really fast and as a result she often gulps at the breast and takes in air when she is feeding. If I dont burp her enough at each feed at the end of the day she has bad wind. So from 6 pm I feed her lying down with a heat pack between us pressed against her belly. I stop frequently to pump her legs up to her belly to get farts out. Last night before her bed I got 7 farts out of her!! Her wind has been particularly bad this last week - waking her up during the night. They are supposed to grow out of this 'colicky' phase around the 12 week mark. So nearly there..
This is such a good point - the difference between colic & reflux can be hard to tell. And as I said, maybe I just see reflux everywhere cos of Annika lol... I know what was different for me over normal wind/colic was the hoarse voice (which is now back to normal), WAAAY more spits, the timing of the distress (yowling right after a burp/urp/spit etc) and the sharpness of the crying (so saying, colic crying can be pretty darn unhappy!). I also noticed the reaction to feeding... as in really arching back in pain part-way through the feed when she'd been perfectly ok to start with, as opposed to a fussy/fretful feed which I reckon they probably all do at some stage (with Annika she'll still do that in the evenings most often). With X, when he had colic/wind, lots of pulling legs up & unsettled crying but I guess just not that specific pattern that I described above. She would burp/spit, then just YOWL. I wouldn't expect to see the timing of the burp + yowl with a colicky/windy bub. Oh and lots of distress when laid down flat. Classic "pick-me up velcro baby", whereas now she's soooo much happier to lie & watch the world (not always of course, but before she NEVER would let us put her down flat happily). Hope that helps for anyone who is wondering.

As for growing out of colic, yeah, love the magic 12 week mark, but then there's the growth spurt... lol.

Hi to everyone, would love to post longer but bed is calling. Enjoying the reading though. Must say, I couldn't even estimate percentages either. Our timing has settled down though. Standard day is feeds at roughly 7am, 10am, 2pm, 6pm & 9pm. Seems to work for her. We don't dreamfeed and that's mostly based on what she wants. She sometimes has quite a good big sleep through the middle of the day (which I'm loving for Xmas shopping! 3.5 hours the other day, heaven). Sometimes I try to stretch her a little... ie if the second last feed is too early, I know I'll struggle to get her through till 8.30ish or 9pm... so I'll often go for a walk or wrap her in the evening to get us through.

Oh and Deana - hope Blake is doing ok.
