I feel so bad for DD, starting around 7 ish she starts getting pretty fussy and it just gets worse until I can finally get her to sleep around 10. I assume its gas since she's kicking her legs out etc. and she'll have been fed recently and it doesn't help. She will be screaming bloody murder and I give her gripe water, rub her belly, pump her legs, keep her upright etc. and none of it helps. I don't know what else I can do. I'm thinking of cutting out dairy for a few days to see if it will make a difference, but I feel like if it was food related she'd be miserable throughout the day, not just at night.
She is gassy during the day, but no where near as bad as it is at night. I end up nursing her a lot during this time just to quiet/comfort her for awhile. I don't know what else to do. DS I believe did the same thing, but I think I've blocked out those memories!
Any tips?
Re: This night time gassiness is driving me crazy!
I'll have to try the colic calm stuff and see if that will help. The swing doesn't do anything,any time I set her down she'll get upset, holding her upright over my shoulder is teh only thing that will usually help, and even that doesn't always work.
Its also not just from 7-10, thats just when its the worst. Like, right now she woke up and is really fussy and gassy it seems, kicking around. She usually wakes up a couple hours after her early morning feeding and is jerking around her legs and crying.
it sucks!
