22 days old baby, She is breast feeding and is also on S26 Gold, severe cramps. Please help ?

Question

Tried three different camp meds and nothing seems to work, we also give her about 40ml of glucose in the morning and fresh water three times daily.please advise. please

Answer 1

You are giving your daughter glucose because she has hypoglycemia?

Answer 2

I'm not sure I understand your ?...If you are saying she has gas pains, though, try Baby's Bliss Gripe Water or Wellements Gripe Water.  Both are all natural.  Why are you giving her glucose and water?  Breastmilk should be sufficient, as it is high in both water and sugar.  Did a doc recommend this?  Of course, given severity of cramps, might be best to talk to a doc if none of the stuff you have tried is working.

Answer 3

The formula will be giving her the cramps, try breastfeeding her exclusively, no formula. She probably doesnt need the sugar and she shouldnt need the water either if you are breastfeeding her.

Answer 4

S26 has a record of causing constipation, colic like symptoms and cramps... Try changing her formula to Nestle Nan Gold. It has some extra things especially to prevent naughty tummy bugs. But, it does take a bit to get used to and may cause her a little upset to start with... OR go straight to the silver. It is really gentle on the stomach and shouldnt cause much disruption.

Changing formula will always cause a little disruption to bubs tummy for a week or so but stick with it and she will feel better soon...  

Answer 5

Can you go to exclusively breastfed?  No formula at all?  And why are you giving a 3 week old glucose and water?  

Also watch your diet, she might reacting to something you ate.  Try avoiding dairy and see if it helps.  Or keep an eye out when she has another bad reaction and what you ate close to breastfeeding.
