My little boy ( 4 week old) started to have gas issues couple of weeks ago. He was grunting a lot and seemed quite distressed. I started giving him infacol as health visitor advised and also BioGaia, since then he got constipation and pebble like poo. I went to the GP and private doctor. Trying to do everything to help him but my mental health is on the edge. I had a breakdown in front of my mum today who is so lovely and helpful and it breaks her heart to see me like this. I was super rude to my husband saying he doesn’t care about the baby. All this because my baby lost appetite today and he had a good appetite before, always. Even yesterday. Today I left him with dad for a few hours and it’s killing me. I don’t know whether it’s baby blues and I am paranoid or it’s a mother instinct telling me something is wrong with my baby. I have this feeling the whole day today and just going completely insane 😢 Would appreciate any advice

We had/have the same issues with my little 4 week old. We were also using in focal which we thought were working however he then had what we think we a build up of gas even though he was winding well. A family member recommended colief which has working amazingly and the screaming had died down but he now has runnier poos so we now use it every other feed. I also went through the phase of taking it out on my partner due to stress I believe. This motherhood is definitely hard and extremely stressful, don’t feel bad for needing some you time you deserve it . We go through over worrying about everything your lo is lucky to have you as his mummy.
