Hi all,

The dramas with Tayla are still rolling in. the losec is helping the silent reflux, but since she started it (and before but it seems to be worse now) she has had a major problem with wind. during the night she wakes up every hour or two crying. She is not hungry because she falls asleep as soon as she is in my arms, but i sit on the couch with her and she does full body flinches and farts constantly. She does like 20-30 over the night (that is not normal is it?) I have changed her formula to novalac colic which at first made her constipated (again) but now that has cleared and her poo is softer and more normal looking than it has been since she started formula (sorry for tmi but this has been a big issue for her), so i think the switch was a good idea.

I also think she is cutting a tooth up the top, front right. there is a white corner coming through.

She is just an unsettled and unhappy bub (other than her 20 or so mins of happy times after each feed when she is very smiley). I can't work out if it is her bowels, teeth or reflux that is bothering her.

If you have any advice on any i would be very grateful.

A friend mentioned a naturopath that she uses for her son who specialises in chn, so i have booked in to see her on Monday, hopefully she can give Tayla a bit of relief. I feel so bad for her and i am getting very exhausted.

Hope your bubs are coping a bit better with the first few months of life than mine
Julz....Blake had the same problem...he too was silent reflux and he was very windy always farting.....and night seem to be worse....i went to my doctor who prescribed "zantax" which is another medication for reflux...he was alot better on it than before but had the same wind complaints. So i went to the chemitst and i brought "Infants Friend" its all natural and given before and after his feeds he was a happier baby. It seems to grab the wind bubbles and he burped heaps more....less farts anyway lol. Hes now bottle feed and we use "Infacol" and that does the same thing...less farty and i dont even have to pat him on his back for wind...he has about 60mls then sits up and burps then feeds again. The night time is alot better....maybe bathing her before bedtime...and massage her belly...clockwise motion also heaps with the wind. I hope she improves for you
