Gripe water making wind / reflux worse?

Helloo, my little girl is 6 weeks and has a few crying episodes per day, usually related to wind or silent reflux, so I gave her some gripe water this evening. That turned into hours of screaming in pain, sickness twice and lots of assisted farting 😩. Is it possible gripe water has made her reflux/ wind worse?

It can. Have you tried the fridamom windi things? Those are lifesavers!!

nooo I haven’t, will have a look into it thank you! Xx

I also tried things like gripe water and infacol in the early weeks but they didn’t make a difference to my baby. It turned out that he had CMPI rather than reflux and changing to prescription formula helped!

ahhh no way! I’m breastfeeding, think I’ll have to change my diet and see how it’s help 🥲 thank you

Yes perhaps cut out dairy for a bit and see if there’s any improvement:)

Day out after c section

Hey,
I had an emergency c section 1 week ago I obviously don't want a day out right now but I have things booked for the Easter holidays so in 2 weeks. I was just wondering if I will be overdoing it if I have a day out then or will I be ok? I would still take it as easy as I could. When did everyone feel good enough to go out?

Reduced Movements

Has anyone else gone in for monitoring for reduced movements and as soon as you arrive at triage the baby starts moving and the CTG is normal? It makes me feel like I am over reacting.

Newborn stage

Is anyone tired of doing the same thing everyday and being on a 2-3 hour schedule? It’s the same everyday and I feel like I’m losing my mind. It’s making me depressed even if I get out once a day. When does it get better? I feel like I’m just waiting for the next stage where it’s not just sitting around all day.
