premiees and colic

[Anonymous]

my daughter was born 34 weeks… we never had a problem with night time until last week…. turns out premature babies can develop colic anywhere between 6 and 8 weeks after their due date…. has anyone else experienced this??? she has reflux pretty bad.. but her temper flares up the same time every night and ends the same time.. so i know this is not a reflux issue…. i am just curios if anyone else with a premiee has experinced this?

we are experiencing the same problem right now my daughter was born at 33 weeks and cries in the night even though her reflux meds are working i am consideting a move from gentlease to nutramigen

yes! it is almost like both of my babies “woke up” at their due date and then had the fussy/colick period on their gestational age. reflux was def a big issue for both of them….Neocate was a big piece for both of them. Their tummies were so immature that the neocate was much more gentle on their systems..

i’m sure this isn’t of any real comfort, but i know that i have always heard that babies quite often go through a period of evening fussiness—-and this is normal, healthy, non-reflux and non-preemie babies.

We have the same situation. Wehad a “honeymoon period” that ended the week of due date..this happened with both my son (32 week preemie) and now with my daughter (33 week preemie) my son was fussy all the time and never happy with significant reflux we went straight to Nutramigen; my daugther started out only mild reflux with a crabby period from 6-9; once we moved from breastmilk to breastmilk with Enfacare all the real problems started our fussy period went from mild to severe and lasted from 4-11 pm. Zantac only helped a little so I changed from Enfacare to Gentlease. This seemed to work for the first two days but by the end of the canister we were worse than when we started. Now we are on day 3 of Nutramigen and my daughter is a different baby. No fussy period at all. So we are going to stick with Zantac and Nutramigen for now.

we had the same issue with our ds… He was 34 and 6 days. It is like he woke up and was not happy. His screaming was all the time though, but worse in the evenings. Enlist some help from family and friends. It can be rough, but it will pass. His coliky phase got better by 4.5 to 5 months old… we also learned how to calm him and keep him calm and that helps a lot, and when they can start soothing themselves that is key.

• Jaundice: yellowing of the skin or eyes because the liver
  has not developed well enough to remove bilirubin, a substance produced
  when red blood cells are broken down (excess bilirubin causes the
  yellow color)
• Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP): abnormal growth of blood vessels in the eye that may lead to vision problems
• Necrotizing enterocolitis: a serious condition causing tissue in the bowel to die
• Blood
  sugar problems: blood sugar levels may be too high or too low (this
  does not mean that your child will develop diabetes later)
• It’s
  important to realize that not all preemies will have these health
  conditions. Speak to your doctor if you are concerned about your baby’s
  health.
