Hi all,
Sorry might be a long one!
Lo has has this grunting more so at night ever since starting ff some nights he looks really uncomfortable but still sleeps through it, it's hard to explain its a nasal grunt but almost like he's straining. Initially he was on SMA and also started with screaming in pain around 1pm and again in the evenings and was constipated so we made the decision to change to cow and gate.
He did seem to improve and we noticed he was less grunty and sick when using the ready made cartons so have for week trialed just cartons but the grunting seems to be increasing again usually when he is lying down in Moses basket and peaks after 4am feed and goes on until he usually has a poo after the next noting feed then improves until evening when he is grizzly and feeds little and often until bed.
His poo has become increasingly looser and a mustardy colour with bits of White/ cottage cheese like bits but he only goes once a day usually.
Today things have peaked! He has grunted for 4 hours solid and just changed his nappy and it was so loose and explosive I was covered! Upto my shoulder all over quilt and our bed dispite change mat (lesson no matter how tired you are always used change table!!!) it was huge amount that was on adult proportions. Now grunting has stopped and crying started.
At my whits end as hv keeps telling me this us normal baby sounds but 4 hours grunting followed by projectile poo surely is not normal!
Not sure what we should do? I thought he has had a bit of reflux and colic but hv rolls her eyes and tells me to switch off my 'nurse' mode but I can't help feeling this is not normal - there is a large part of the day he appears unsettled and in discomfort he also has monumental wind both ends although difficult to get up when it goes down it rivals an adult male!!
So what do you think?is it normal ? Should I change formula? Is it possibly lactose related? Mentioned to hv for past 3 weeks and shown a video on my my mobile and she still maintains he's just vocal! Dispite it being for hours on end and accompanied by signs of discomfort!
Any suggestions gratefully received
