Midwife came this morning and seemed to notice immediately that i wasn't doing too good. She seemed to ask about baby blues straight away and thinks Jess might have a bit of colic.

I told her how Jess would seem to tantrum, going very red in the face and arching her back despite having been fed, winded, nappy done & cuddled. After sending boyf out to the pharmacy there & then, i have started infacol treatment now.

I have also agreed that my mum will come & take Jess this afternoon for a few hours so i can actually shower, do my hair and have an hours sleep! She's also offered to take her Friday night to give me  & boyf a chance to go out & relax over a nice meal & a bottle of wine but i'm unsure about that just yet.

After looking on the internet about colic, it seems it may be the problem. It just all fits! I didn't realise that babies might actually feed quite well & continue to put on weight whilst having this pain! M/wife wants to visit again Saturday and i have the health visitor for the 1st time on Friday. She said to give the  infacol a week or so to work.

Here's hoping...

Poor Jess,

COlic is no fun for any baby. Infacol is quite good I hear. Hoping it settles her tummy poor thing.

Hugs, you go out when your ready too mind, take it easy, got all the time in the world hun.

Hiya Hun,

Sorry to hear about Jess' colic. My DD had awful colic when she was a baby so I really do sympathise with you.

Are your BF or FF? If FF then have you tried the anti colic bottles? I used Dr Brown's. Also, I didn't find the Infacol much use but used Colief instead. It is expensive (around £10) for a tiny bottle but I did find it helped. I was able to get it on prescription from my doctor but I know not all doctor's prescribe it. Worth asking though.

Not much more you can really do unfortunately, but it does eventually pass honey.

Take care x

Hi Kate, I'm formula feeding Jess at the moment with aptamil. Gonna give the infacol a week and if there is no improvement, i'll seek further advice.

Thanks
