Trying to figure out what's going on with dd. She is almost 4 weeks old, EBF. Our biggest issue seems to be the gas. She is grunting all night & clearly uncomfortable. Passing gas like an adult. Poops are yellow & green, frequent, no blood. They haven't been all seedy everytime...sometimes just yellow or green & wet. They did seem to be a little foamy/frothy earlier in the week, so I did start nursing on one side for a few hours at a time, pumping the FM off the other & then switching. Not sure if I am doing that right? Is this block feeding?
We are also trying mylicon & gripe water with inconsistent results. But mylicon does seem to help get up more burps & bicycle legs help get gas out.
Anyway, there are no signs of skin issues, rashes, congestion. She has only spit up 3 times since birth. She is just grunting, passing gas, crying in discomfort & wanting to be held.
I am wondering if it is:
1) normal infant gas/fussiness-immature digestive system
2) overactive letdown issues
3) food allergies
TIA
