Erin,
Kayden cud be having lots of wind in the stomach, try to burp more often during feed if possible, oso, u can observe if his stomach is veri bloated. If so, tt means got lots of wind.
As wat sm mummies advised, try ru yi oil and gripe water. If bb dun like to take gripe water direct, mix it wz water. I give Reanne 90ml water with one teaspn gripe water every morning after bath.
If both still dun work and bb seemed to cry (high pitched) in the evening till late and legs are pulled towards the stomach, it's probably colic. Can't do much, can try Infacol (easier to administer) or Desitin Colic Drops (my PD say better but i find it difficult to administer cos' gt to give 2.5 ml!)
Reanne and my elder dotter both colicky babies, cry and cry when try to put them in bed, very siong i know, record was 11pm to 6am every day!
U might want to try swaddling, if kayden likes to move hands abt, u might want to try swaddling only the bottom half of the body.
Wrt hw much to drink, check out the formula i posted earlier for Butter
hope its helps.
erin, u mention the teat was flatten, i tink the screw cap is too tight, it's creating a vacuum so baby cant suck, they get frustrated as a result. I had the same problem when i use the NUK btls with my elder dotter.
When u find that bb is not finishing his milk during most of the feeds, that cud be a sign that u nd to chg the teat cos' they are tired trying to finish the milk (nd more effort, u see).
But Kayden is only one mth rite? The teat shd be ok for nw.
hope it helps.
One more thing to share:- found that the wind problem in Reanne seemed better after i used the Pigeon Peristaltic Btls. No issue abt the cap to tight!
