As I Eat Brie....

So I'm sitting here eating a chunk of brie the size of my hands and remembering how I was hoping that I would be small enough by now that my wedding band would fit again. It does not. In my defense it is a thick band an a size 4 and 3/4.

Anyway, I'm wondering if any of you have advice to help a REALLY gassy baby. (The answer is not stop eating cheese because my boobs are retired... thank GOODNESS because this brie is delicious). We give her gas drops, feed her sensitive formula, and feed her with an angled bottle. I haven't tried Dr. Browns yet but I may try one to see if it helps.

SOMETIMES shes just fine and dandy. Other times she grunts and grumbles and cries through an entire bottle. Pushing the bottle out of her mouth and all that but then wanting it back because shes hungry. She will fart a ton then be good for a few seconds. I burp her frequently.

Sometimes shes arching her back, other times not. But shes very rarely comfortable. My very dismissive pedi said nope, not reflux, without really listening to me. We won't be seeing him again. I'm worried part of her pain is reflux.

 Anywho! Just looking for ideas other than gas drops and bottles. We give her room temp bottles. Do warmer or colder bottles seem to help your little ones? Do I have to just wait for her to outgrow this? Please tell me I'm not the only one with a baby who sounds uncomfortable or downright angry through a whole bottle then is just fine after?

Dr.Brown's actually made Sergio worse. We used them for the first three months and he was constantly passing gas. I bought some Avent bottles from a mom-to-mom group I belong to on FB, just because we only had 4 Dr.B bottles and I was sick of constantly washing them. Well, wa-la! He hardly passes gas anymore...only when he's pooping really.

We used to give him room temp bottles and moved to warm at the same time we switched to Avent, so I'm not sure if that helped since I did both at the same time. If I'm out and he's hungry, I just set the bottle on top of the heating vent on my car for a few minutes with the heat on high and it warms it right up. Sergio does the same thing throughout his bottles; swats it away and then cries. I think he's ready for the next nip size.

I've been told many times that a bottle is to be body temp not room temp. Jacqueline will take a room temp bottle in a pinch but she does much better on a body temp bottle. She wiggles and squirms if she isn't sitting comfortably or if there is a lot of action in the room where she is eating. I try to readjust her or move to a quieter room to ensure that she eats properly. I've also noticed that different water upsets her stomach...like when we go to DH's parents place it takes her a few days to get used to the new water.

We use Tommee Tippee bottles, if that helps.
