colic and reflux

I don't know much about either of these.
H seems to be very fussy/unsettled at night, she sleeps really well in the day and takes feeds well. But at night she starts to feed then pulls away and moans, she doesn't cry, more like a grunt I guess. Occassionally I'll sit her up and she will bring up wind, sometimes she spills a little.
Then I'll put her back on and she will continue feeding.
At night I'll feed her and put her back down and often about 30 mins later she wakes up crying, not hard crying. Just like she's very unsettled. So sometimes I'll pick her up and she will bring up wind but other times there's not wind and she just seems like she might be in a little bit of pain.

Sometimes I bring her into bed with us and feed her or just try to get her to sleep. But she seems to lie there and pull her legs up and wriggle around alot and make noises like she's uncomfortableand will occassionally cry, but not for long.
Also during the day she will cry out in her sleep, sometiems a really intense cry and then all of a sudden she stops.

So it makes me think that she's in a bit of pain at times and it seems to be worse at night.
I have no idea if this sounds like either colic or reflux or if it could just be a wind problem. But she never seems to have problems bringing up wind.

Oh and last night she vomited after I picker her up from lying down and it was like curdled milk andvery thick. I've never seen it like that.

I pretty much agree with what Stacey was saying.

Most little babies are quite spilly. Chloe was terrible, fountains of vomit everywhere! Now we give her gaviscon because of reflux and colic, and she just does little thick vomits. Don't worry about the cottage-cheese looking vomit (thick and sort of lumpy), it's normal. Sounds to me like wind probably. Have you tried using gripe water or anything like that? I know that helps Chloe get her wind up more often than when we don't use it, and it seems to settle her a bit even if she doesn't bring any wind up.

Sounds like colic to me too. Unfortunately theres not a lot you can do if it is colic, maybe just make sure shes well winded or try that infacol stuff.

It doesn't happen every night. Some nights she will wake every 2 1/2 hours, have a feed and back to bed with no problems. But then others shes up and down all night and acting like she's uncomfortable.
She often does arch her back after a feed or often during a feed when she pulls off suddenly.

From what I've read I think it does sound more like colic than reflux, but she doesn't cry for hours which seems to be what most colicky babies do. She does scream suddenly and then stops just as quickly though.

I'm hoping if I can find out the problem I might be able to get her to sleep better at nights. But if its colic then it seems theres not a lot that can be done to help.

Sounds like to colic to me, with her bringing her legs up.
I suffered from it as a baby and have had it during my pregnancy, its not nice

I think mum said she used to rock me back and forth and give me grip water, the movement helps shift the wind pain.

I will definitely try the gripe water and infacol.
Last night wasa really good night, she woke every 2 1/2 hours and went straight back to sleep after a feed with no probs at all.
So thats what makes me think maybe it isn't colic as it would be every night wouldn't it?

I think I'll just have to make sure she brings up wind in the night before putting her back in bed as thats probably whats causing the problems. I'll just see what happens over the next few weeks and mention to my gp at her 6 week checkup
