she maybe constipated. If you get in contact with H/V then I think they can give you stuff for them. Try rubbing the tips of her toes as this is a pressure point for constipation.

hi kylie, i had a very similar problem when ruby was about 8weeks....i changed her milk to hipp organic and i found it sooo much better, she was on sma and once she was drinking more it became too much for her tummy to handle. i swear by organic now xx

Hi My little grl is 6weeks old this week and she has colic my h/v arranged for someone to come and show me baby massage for her tummy and all over and it seems to work. I give her gow and gate for hungrier babies stage 2. she loves it.I also try and express when i can. Ask your health h/v for advice on massage. Let me no if you think it works for your little one. Love Jodie and Mia xxx

Hi Kylie, I found that when I bottle fed my two while they were sitting in an upright position they tended to gulp less air then they would when lying across your arms. I also used the chicco bottles which were weird shaped so to prevent baby gulping air, plus I tried hard as I could to prevent them screaming for a long time for their bottle which I understand can also cause them to gulp a lot of air before a feed. Hope this helps.
