I am really feeling rock bottom.
My baby just wont stop crying! š
She will wake around 5:45am for a bottle and il give this to her and then take her back to bed.
But after her next bottle around 9:30am ish she will cry up until today which was 3pm?!
She has smell periods of smiles but that lasts around 5 minutes.
I am trying everything and all tips and tricks but nothing is working?!
She fusses when feeding (formula) and screams after.
We are in omeprazole and only today started CMPA Formula which she wasnāt keen on.
I just feel so awful as Iām sure she can sense Iām so upset shes upset.
I feel like everyone including my partner says thats normal shes a baby babies cryā¦. But this cannot be normal for a 10 week old?! Feel like im being mugged off.

Have you tried anti colic bottles and gripe water? My LB was the same. Used gripe water and it works wonders, now trying anti colic bottles and it's even better again

You're not alone. My little man is like this. Constantly cries if he's not feeding or asleep. When I head to baby groups, he's the only one crying (more like howling and screaming!)...makes me feel like a crappy mum! We're also CMPA and on the good ole omeprazole (which seems to do nothing other than traumatise him all the more when he has to take it).
I tried gripe water, infacol and colief also and gave up on them all!
I've no real suggestions but just wanted to pass on my sympathies and let u know ur not alone š

Mine is similar too! She is slowly getting better but still screams or cries a lot when awake. She needs frequent sleeps (every hour) or she is worse. Think it gets better at 6 weeks, 8 weeks NOPE. 12 weeks?! We'll see!! X

@Rachel haha...I keep holding out for 3mths like it's gonna answer all my prayers...not long now as he's just passed 10wks now š¤š»š¤š»š¤š»š¤š»

@Colleen God I hope so! Just want to enjoy my mat leave with her š

@Casey likewise...that's why I stopped! It did help a bit, but added in a chore element too with how often it was needed so I just gave up on it

I give 2.5ml after every feed but you can give 5ml 6 times a days. I only give 2.5ml at a time because then if it bothers him further on between feeds I can give him the other 2.5ml (if that makes sense)

what does gripe water do? Gave it to mine once and she hated it so gave up! But she gets upset with her bottom wind!

We had this from pretty much birth for like 4/5 weeks. They gave us CMPA formula but we sensed it wasnāt CMPA so we managed to get omeprazole and upped his OZās in bottles and he stopped⦠Iām not sure if it was the omeprazole or just more milk but it stopped him crying for like 6/12 hours constant to like 3 hours a day instead which was a huge difference for us xx

Could she be going through the acid battle? How long has she been on omeprazole x

@Tal this sounds amazing. Please give a bit more info - name of (or link to purchase) probiotic? How much do you give, how often?
please can you post the link on here?xx

Does she have a dummy? Some babies just really need to suck for comfort.

it helps with gripe, which is spasms of the stomach, and it helps with relief of wind whether that is burps or farts. My son will cry and cry, give him gripe water and he then going to sleep because of the relief it gives him š

Are you using a perfect prep machine to make her bottles?
