Ancient Egypt Nut!
Ihave a couple of dummies on standby, tried her with one but she just wouldnt take it, though she will happily suck my finger.....not ideal but better than sore nipples...lol.
Though if she is genuinely hungry she will not settle with my finger. We have had a better day today though she is starting to get windy, the infacol seems to be working.

Sorry to hear that the dreaded colic is giving you all a battering at the moment. I can also remember feeling so helpless to ease anything when my kids were that age. All 3 of them suffered with it for the first few weeks and were being breastfed.
I don't know if this idea may help or if you have already tried it but if things just got too much sometimes and both me and babykins were in tears, I used to get the pram out, wrap them up, prop them up a bit on a baby pillow to help with the colic and walk around the block a few times.
Sometimes it worked. Baby would drop off to sleep and the fresh air would make me feel better, less stressed and not feel like a caged animal:sigh: I walked for an hour or so sometimes, I remember.
Another thing we did with our youngest, who really had bad colic, was to put him in his bouncy chair or car seat while he was asleep after the late feed, strap him in, cover him up and then put the seat inside the cot next to our bed. It worked a lot of the time, because of the angle he was sleeping at I believe, and he would sleep for a good 4-5 hour stretch.
Hope any of this helps hun. It doesn't last forever so take good care of yourself as well and pass that gorgeous girlie to Daddy more often....!!!lol
