Wind?

[Arcanegirl]

In late evenings and overnight Alex becomes restless after a feed and his body becomes quite stiff or wriggles alot. Is this wind?
We do wind him after every feed but quite often nothing will come up or only a little and he still becomes restless.
During the day hes fine, easy to settle Maybe grunts a little but never for long.

Could be hun. Some babies are better at getting it up than others.

Does he trump much??

 

[Arcanegirl]

Yep, quite frequently though ive not heard him do it as often as he did in the first week.

Hebe farted like a scouse docker to start with but then that settled down. If you think it's bothering him and you dont want to start trying Infacol and Gripe Water just get, you could try a warm face cloth on his tummy

does sound like wind to me. there are things you can do to help aswell as burping. Baby massage works for some, all you do is go to the right hand side of the tummy button and with two fingers, rotate your two fingers in small circles whilst covering the are of a large circle. Hope that makes sense! So your drawing a large circle with two fingers whilst doing small rotations with your fingers.

There are medicines you can get to help aswell but i'd ask your mw first really. we used infacol.


On a slightly different note how is the feeding going in general now AG? x

Feeding is going really well, going to introduce one bottle a day so i can get a break. Just undecided when to start it.
I think hes past the 2 week growth spurt though the unsettledness at night makes it hard to tell.
