Any ideas what might help

My LO is 13 weeks. He's only slept through the night a handful of times but in the last 2 or 3 days he has been really irritable or showing some kind of discomfort... Can you guys help me figure out what it could be?
I have of course done a lot of things for what I think it could be already which I'll list.
He is really wiggling his legs and his body and his arms and he's just kind of grunting and making whining noises.

I thought it was gas so I have pedded his legs and massage his tummy and been really careful in regards to feeding. And making sure that the water is sterilised and all the bottles are clean.

It can't be constipation because his last poo was just under 10 hours ago (7pm)

I'm feeding him 150 ml bottles but he doesn't always finish them. I don't force him to take the bottles. I just move it away when he pushes it away from himself or starts to spit out. I revisit him again with the bottle and if he takes it he takes it and if he doesn't he doesn't.

I'm really hot on these nappy changes and I'm making sure that I'm changing them every 4 hours or so as I thought his discomfort was with his nappy. Changing the nappy regardless if there's wee or both wee and poop

The colour of his poop has not indicated any issues.

I'm winding him all the time. After feeds and if he gets upset when he's upset in his crib.

I've made sure that he's not too warm and he's not too cold.

I've made sure there's no dampness in his bedding and that it as clean and comfortable as can be and everything is clean.

Literally have no idea what could be causing his discomfort and his upset.

I have tried Infacol and it hasn't worked.
He is normally a very good baby but I think we're just going through some kind of spell at the moment.

He seems to be really calm when he's laying with me, but obviously I can't hold him from all day and all night especially when I need to sleep or feed myself.

He doesn't have a temperature. He doesn't have any sort of medical conditions that he has been diagnosed with. Doesn't have any sort of injuries.

He hasn't had stiff legs So I don't think he's in any pain. It's just some sort of discomfort.

He could be just growing? And his bones are aching- did you try to give him Calpol? X I am mother of 3 and Calpol time after time can’t hurt them and at least if they suffer with headache or their bones are aching you are helping them a bit to deal with pain x that what I usually do x

8 week immunisations

My 8 week old has his first set of injections tomorrow and I’m abit nervous. Does anyone have any advice for after the jabs? I know they get a temp after so have got some calpol to give just before hand. Should I put him to bed in less clothing to make sure he doesn’t get too hot? Any tips from your experience with first set of immunisations? Am I worrying more than I need to? 😅

11 month old constantly standing in cot

Please tell me someone has some advice for this cause wow it’s trying. My almost 11 month old is fully on the move now and his new favourite thing is repeatedly pulling to stand in his cot. The problem is that he wears a sleep sack (mainly so his legs don’t get stuck between the bars tbh lol) so he’s not stable enough to lower himself down. So earlier he fell backwards and hit is head and now we feel like we can’t just leave him to it. Typically it’s his first full day at nursery tomorrow and my first day back at work IT’S LIKE HE KNOWS!!
Please tell me someone has some tips. Currently we are quietly placing him back on his back every time but he just keeps doing it! 🤣🤡

Took 9 week old to a family party where there was loud music and she was next to the speaker for most of the time (about 3 hours). She slept through most of it. Do you think she has hearing loss from this?

Freaking out right now :(

Struggling in the 4 month regression

How are people getting out of the 4 month regression? I’ve been looking it up and it says I need to be trying to put him down drowsy but awake but this does not work for my LO. Every time we do this he ends up being wide awake and after almost an hour of trying we have to contact nap/rock to sleep. I want to avoid rocking to sleep because now when he wakes up in the night he needs to be rocked back to sleep which he never used to need.

Nights are constantly broken because we are up 2-3 times to rock him back to sleep. Please give me your tips on how to survive this and how to get out of this!! Constantly feel like I’m failing and doing something wrong
