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
