Every time after she eats she cries and cries. Her face turns bright red and the only thing that seems to sooth her is walking around or in her swing. And sometimes that doesn't even work. She is going to the bathroom normal and burping normal. May changing her formula to soy help? any suggestions on the formula or medicine?
My 7 week old has just started smiling and is generally a happy baby (no colic/gas problems etc). In he last week or so, while he's napping, I've seen him make noises like giggling and smile.
Out of curiosity, any ideas what he's doing?! He's too young to laugh.
Thanks

I have recenlty purchased Wellements Nappy Rash cream online and was also sent a sample of their Gripe Water which worked really well for my baby's Colic. But what I was wondering is that, has anybody ever used this cream? I know it's american. I really wanted it because it's herbal and managed to find it in the UK, online. I haven't used it for my baby's bum yet as she has a very sensitive bottom and before using it, i wanted to know if anybody else has used it? Thanks
Do you also go to work from 8-5? I will have to go back in 4 weeks and I don't understandhow I will get the energy. Mine wakes up every 2.5 hours and can stay up after feedings. No colics.No problems...
My daughter is 13 weeks old - she is exclusively breastfed - About a week or so ago I added my morning caffeine back into my diet, but a really small amount - only half a cup. She had colic really bad until about 9 weeks of age, until we found out she had a cow's milk protein allergy. I cut all dairy out of my diet and she started sleeping much more regularly and going to bed at a much earlier hour. For a few weeks now, she has been going to bed around 6 or 6:30 and waking up typically twice a night to feed (around 11 and 4) and then right back to sleep until around 7 in the morning. I felt this was totally normal and healthy for her age. She even started to form her 9am scheduled nap within the past week - the rest of the naps for the day were just as needed (not scheduled yet). A couple of nights ago, her sleep patterns completely changed (for the worse!)! She is back to waking up either one to 3 hours after she goes to bed for the night and she isn't really hungry, seems agitated, and cannot get back to sleep for 2 to 4 hours and then wakes up still once or twice until about 6am. Can that morning cup of coffee affect her night sleep? I have not changed anything else in my diet. It's such a small amount and it does not affect her naps, in fact she is taking really long naps because she is making up for all the lost sleep at night that she used to once have. How do you know if this is a habit that she is forming or due to an irritation or other reason for sleeplessness? She is not showing any signs of illness and if I turn the lights on, she starts smiling and cooing, and is very happy to see me, which makes me think that she is fighting for the pleasure of my company at night. How many more nights do I wait before I do something to change this? I know it will cause problems for her if it continues to occur - she already is getting dark circles under her eyes and I just hate to see that!
