I think i spoke too soon. We were up until 8am again last night. Then down til 10.30 and hes been grumbling and whinging until 20 mins ago and is currently snoring away on me.

Well, Charlie has now had 5 doses of Gaviscon and he is MUCH happier! He's a happy, settled baby for the first time ever!!!! Im absolutely over the moon and even managed to get some sleep last night. It takes a while to feed & wind him because we've been told to keep him upright for at least 30...

well, we're back from the doctors and she seems to think its acid reflux so we've been given infant gaviscon and got to let her know how we get on. if it doesnt help, ill speak to her about a lactose intolerance. little mans finally asleep, hes exhausted himself, so its bed time for us!

My little man is constantly whinging and grumbling and I cant cope!! I've had 2 hours sleep in as many nights! He's 4 weeks old and has been doing this since he was about 4 days old. The first time he started doing it, we ended up at the hospital at 5am because we were so worried because he...

Hi girls, Thank you for all your suggestions! :) I think we've finally cracked it!!!!! He's just super hungry and is now guzzling 210ml every 6 hours. I decided last night just to make up a big bottle of milk and see how he got on and he finally slept right through to his next feed...

thanks hun, its nice to hear someone say im doing it right. it doesnt feel like i am and i feel like the worst mum ever when he wont settle! xx

Yeah, I had heard that hungry baby can cause constipation. Will keep an eye on it. He drinks the whole lot but we stop him frequently for winding, between every 30 and 50ml.

we started on cow and gate but found it went frothy and thought this could be causing wind, so then tried sma gold, and this afternoon weve started sma hungry baby xx

hes done this since we brought him home and we've tried winding him for ages and have tried infacol but that didnt help and just gave him diarhoea :(

Hi Girls, Charlie was 8lb 8oz when born and started on 90ml, every 3 to 4 hours. He's now 9lb 2oz and is on 150ml every 3 to 4 hours but he never seems to settle well, ESPECIALLY at night! So bad at night that we usually end up feeding him every 1.5/2 hours. He generally wakes up from 11pm til...
