[|Human|] Hi, my baby (now 9 weeks old) has been suffering from painful wind and bowel movements.  I have to sit with her massaging her tummy on the left side which sometimes help.  She has intermittent but frequent pain.  Its exhausting for her and me.  I combine feed her but sure she had it when I exclusively BF her.  She has soft but bitty yellow poo which has been smelling vile sometimes.  Doctor has prescribed calpol and lactulose but this doesnt seem to be helping.  She can scream whether very watery of soft. Some weeks ago I noticed white mucus coming out a couple of times and think that was when she seemed she had diarrhoea.  Please help
[|AI|]  Hello, This is called evening colic and is quite common in this age group. This happens when the baby sucks at the breast very fast and in eagerness to Chat Doctor. Unless the air comes out like burping or flatus this discomfort will be there and next time check if the baby is sucking too fast and gulping in air too. You will be more convinced. Usually I don't advice any medicines for this as they give only temporary relief. The two best ways to relieve this distress is:1. Do not put the baby in lying position after feeding till the baby burps out the swallowed air.2. If still crying, put the baby in prone position and keep patting the back gently so that the baby passes off the flatus and gets relieved. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
