Bottle feeding question

lovebug33

When I feed DD, she will sometimes straighten her whole body and rear her head back and scream. Does anybody else's baby do this? I'm wondering if I should ask the pedi.

Sounds like she might have gas. Have you tried some gas drops to see if maybe she stops that? Trial and error, this parenting thing... lol

This can be a symptom of reflux... I would note anything baby is doing and let your pediatrician know.

Either gas or reflux. Try putting a probiotic in the bottle for a few days to a week. If it doesn't help talk to pedi about reflux.

Thanks, ladies! After not being able to feed her since 11:00, I called ped, they said to bring her in, and doc said to try gripe water and if that doesn't work to change the formula to teh anti-gassy kind and if that doesn't work in a week to bring her back in. Thanks for your help!

gripe water did NOTHING for my son... We have him on enfamil gentlease and it seems to have helped with his gas! Also, there's a thing called Colic Calm. You should try it! You can buy it at walgreens or CVS. It's $20 a bottle but seriously has worked better than gas drops or any other kind of gripe water! Google it and read about it!
