Has what I believe to be colic. Every night from about 4 to 8 she is very hard to console...only by pedalling her little legs to release the gas and by carrying and bounching her can I get her to calm down for a minute or two. She has regular bowel movements up until early afternoon and then doesn't go again until night time, when she goes very often, which I think is the culprit. She has also been spitting up more, even though I burp her frequently during feedings. Thankfully her weight gain is very good and she is not dehydrated, but I still worry. I am breastfeeding and my first thought is to cut out dairy, which my dr said may help, and of which I had eaten a lot of through the pregnancy and the past two weeks. I am starting that now...does anyone have other suggestions for calming and soothing her, or to reduce her discomfort in some way? I hate seeing her like this, she's such a good baby and it's so hard to watch her be uncomfortable :(
