Possible feeding issue
I'm at wits end and seem to have no help from GP/ health visitor and I'm one step away from going to a&e to demand checks.
To start simple baby feeds well and is gaining weight well and is now 5 weeks old.
She seems to have bad wind and will scream and squirm around clearly in pain as it's not a normal cry but a ear piercing scream. Dr recommended infacol so tried this and it seemed to work but gave her bad reflux so stopped giving it and made sure to wind her longer.
Went back to Dr and they just gave us gaviscon and this seemed to make her uncomfortable but not in pain.
Nothing I do seems to help and no one seems to be taking me seriously and just says it's colic but it seems triggered by her eating.
Has anyone had this before or know anything that might help her? Should I use both the infacol and gaviscon? I'm exclusively breastfeeding at the moment and really don't know what to do

Could be worth having a look into that if you’re thinking it’s more than colic
@Megan poos seem ok we get a couple a day the only thing with them is that they are explosive and she seems very uncomfortable until she goes then it's like a temporary instant relief. Not sure with cmpa as she varies how bad she is each day and I don't really change my diet
Look at baby massage wind routine. Can’t hurt to give it a go.
You could always contact your maternity unit postnatal ward, you are still able to access care there until 6 weeks I believe, there should be a feeding specialist you can see there if you think this is a feeding issue
@Jess thank you I will look into this

What are her poos like? Is she sicky? Could it be cmpa?
