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.
