Hi all.
Just wanted to give an update as to how today is going.
Last night was wonderful. As usual she slept well, with feeds every 3 hours. But right after the 7am feed, the crying began.
Today's routine was basically, feed, cry, try to soothe her for 30-45 minutes, then nap for 45min-1hr. And then another 2 hour cycle begins.
Albeit today is better than yesterday, because yesterday she barely napped at all. But ideally I'd rather her not be crying for 30-45 minutes! Also, longer naps would be ideal, but I'm not sure she's ready for going longer than 2 hours without feeding during the day.
What I did differently today is that I fed uphill, which seemed to help, as she fussed much less at the breast. I still try to burp her during and after her feed, but I'm not always successful. I'm not block feeding right now as her stools are fine, as based on becj86's advice. And I gave her gripe water at 7am and 1pm. Perhaps it's helped, although the impact is certainly not immediate.
Is it normal that I can feel her tummy rumbling during and after I feed? Is that just regular digestion or is that gas?
I also bought Ovol gas drops, but I don't want to mix it with the gripe water, so I'm not using it just quite yet.
