Newborn trapped wind

My 12 day old all of a sudden seems to have lots of trapped gas, especially after every feed making loud grunting noises and not relaxing. We are struggling to burp her during and after the feeds and tried lots of positions. Its making her really uncomfortable to sleep and I just feel awful because I want to relieve it - she doesnt spit up but does gulp her bottle quite fast so we are trying to pace feed but maybe she is getting too much air? Using mam bottles for reference but does anyone have any other ideas? Also how much time can I spend moving her legs around, conicous she is so little and dont want to irritate her belly even more

So I was using over the counter mylicon drops from target, 10 min later it relieved my baby and maybe an 1h up to 5h later they poop

My first had very bad trapped wind - we now think it was due to the type of birth he had (very long labour and forceps delivery) we have since found out that seeing a baby chiropractor would have been beneficial. However at the time, we didn't know this so would use infacol drops and that seemed to help him a lot. We then went on to use gripe water when he was 2 months old.

Is it ok to let a newborn (2weeks) sleep if already past birth weight or wake to feed ?

No hate for having a sleepy baby please my first was an awful sleeper so I know how triggering these posts can be 😂… but

My 2 week old slept for almost 6hours last night and we woke him even though he seemed pretty tired and would have slept longer. He’s been a sleepy baby since birth but feeds a lot throughout the day and has surpassed his birth weight but my husband woke me last night to say we need to wake the baby to feed. I said I’d get up and pump and let the baby sleep but he said we shouldn’t let him go over 6 hours without a feed….

Should we wake him? Thoughts below please :)

Ive lost my patience

I am only 12 weeks but I fell like ive lost my patience with my 15 month old, all day long im just constantly telling her off for hitting the tv, climbing on the back of the sofa to get to the window, throwing things at the cat and laughing. Im not enjoying being with her and that sounds horrible 😢

Im not enjoying my pregnancy in the first place and feeling exhausted everyday aswel cause my daughter is sleeping in our bed every night as she cries the moment i get near her cot 😢

Help…Normal tantrum or something more?

My daughter is having the worst meltdowns recently. I’m talking to the point where people are starting to stop outside my house and looking in with concern. The anxiety and humiliation leaving the house sometimes is exhausting. Kicking and screaming at the top of her voice in public and having everyone in the street looking at me, is a different kind of embarrassment and guilt. I’ve had a few conversations recently with various people about seeing someone professional about mt daughter’s behaviour. She’s also started using noises and moans to gesture what she wants, coming from an incredibly smart 3 year old who has been speaking full sentences since she was two. We have regressed in verbal communication, and the meltdowns are getting so horrifically bad. She also tugs at her clothes when distressed or pulls on her fingers. There is absolutely ZERO reasoning with her when she is like this, it’s just constant screaming. I’m a first time mum and just at a complete loss.

Breast feeding

I’m expecting in a few months time and want to breast feed (breast and bottle feed). What bottles do you recommend? I formula fed my first daughter and used Dr brown bottles (hated Tommee Tippee and MAM due to tongue tie issues). Is Philips Avent good or Lansinoh? Thank you ☺️
