Damien seems to have so much problem with bring up his wind at the moment and it's beginning to bring me down a bit. I spend half an hour giving him his milk (50-70mls) every 3 hours, but spend a further hour to 1.5 hours trying to burp him, and even then he still goes to sleep with wind. He is either puking his food up or just spending the next hour or 2 making grunting noises. He hasn't got colic as he isnt screaming in pain but he certainly has something wrong there.
Was at the doctors last night as he was throwing up his food for 24 hours and hadn't kept much down at all. He said to try him on infacol and we got some from Tesco but it isnt doing much.
I know premature babies have a harder time bring wind up as their tummies are delicate and their windpipe is softer but this is making me crazy. I have no time to sleep inbetween feeding and burping and now my milk is drying up because I have no rest and I'm having to give him forumla which I ideally didn't want him to have. The more of my milk he gets, the quicker he will get stronger and put weight on.
I've asked the midwife and HV but both say just keep trying to wind him, try this position and that position but it's not working.
Sorry I've probably rambled but I am at a loss and I hate listening to him so uncomfortable and him being sick![Frown :( :(](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
