A strange (and slightly disgusting) problem!

[embojet]

Well, I was whinging about Molly's wind last week, now she has the opposite problem! The last couple of nights I have had about 3 hours of sleep, because Molly has been keeping me awake straining and passing sjmelly wind all night . It literally goes on for hours and she grunts away so loudly, It's not like it's trapped though, it definately comes out!

is she having regular poos?

 

[embojet]

She has always only had a poo every other day. The HV and community nurses (as she was prem) say this is fine as the consistency is normal (sorry, TMI), and she doesn't struggle to pass these.

Awww maybe she just likes farting!

I know! Why all night though?! Although it is all day too today!

She burping alright after feeds?

Never has done really. Tried infacol, gripe water, sitting her up after feeds etc but nothing seems to work.

Infacol seems to make my baby fart!

Erin wakes herself up sometimes they are so loud! At least the wind is coming out x

May went through a short phase like this, she used to grunt so loudly in her sleep that I was awake nearly all night. She grew out of it tho.
I would think about the milk too, when we swapped May onto Aptamil, she became much better at getting her wind up x

Jaymee did this for a while too, in the end we swapped her milk and started to put colief in her bottles, both of which seemed to really help.

Hope it gets better soon

Perhaps put her in a separate room hun. If she's not whinging and it's jsut her noises and smells keeping you awake i'd definately consider it

Jasper is a smelly farter! Its worse than his poos!

And a loud farter! I've gotten the blame sooo many times because my OH cant believe that a little baby could have possibly made the noise/smell!

Also, Jasper is a noisey sleeper too... when he's in his own room, in his own cot, I can hear him snuffling, and grunting and wriggling around!
