help! he just doesn't burp at night :(

[kim88]

hey there,

I need some help...

Nathan is 14 weeks old and has been pretty good at sleeping... for a good while there he was going down at around 8.30pm waking up for his bottle at 3.30am and then up again at 6.30-7am. When he wakes up at 3.30am now he takes 3 or 4 ounces of formula but doesn't burp. The last couple of nights I've spent well over half an hour trying to get wind up in the night but its like he's just too sleepy or something. I've tried every position possible and he doesn't have a problem with burping during the day. So because he won't "break wind" in the night i've had to just put him down again anyway... his eyes still closed but hes just really restless... and ends up waking up every half an hour or so... I just don't know what to do.

Have any of you had a similar problem, I need some advice

I can't help either I'm afraid. My little boy never burps at night, hes too sleepy and seems to store the wind for pooping.

yeah leah is the same - once she starts nodding off after her bedtime bottle there is no hope of a burp - we often have to put her down with no wind coming up but haven't had any problems in the night with wind (so far) so i'm sure little one will be fine xxx

kacey is the same. She wont burp either in the night but it dont bother her either. I have b een watching her before now sleeping and she will have a little move about sleeping and then do a bottom burp and then sleep.Sorry i cant be more help

I burp Suri during the day but never bothered at night time, it doesnt seem to bother her and she goes straight back down to sleep xx

babies tend not get to get as much wind at night as they are sleepy when feeding so take down less air,

is he disturbed by it or just disturbing you?

what about putting gripe water/infacol in the night feed?
