Does anyone else’s wee one do this? He only stops when I pick him up and lay him on my chest. My research tells me that he’s not in pain and it’s just his system trying to figure out how to poop and that he doesn’t need picked up but I feel terrible just watching and listening!

Sounds exactly like my boy at night. It’s definitely trapped wind/needing a poo. But it is active sleep so he is fully asleep. The wriggling around will also help move it along. Although it is so hard to listen to ☹️The wind builds up throughout the day so at night it’s at its worst. I burp him for a good 20 mins after each feed but he still gets it if he hasn’t done a really good poop. If he does one he’s the calmest sleeper ever 😂
it seems that the only way to stop it is by the poop or by having him on my chest. I tried bicycle legs last night and also tummy massage but it didn’t work! So I had to lay him on my chest but then kept putting him back down when I felt myself drifting off. It’s unbearable watching and hearing him even though it’s just digestion 😱

Depending on how old he is, he might be learning how to control his muscles to be able to self regulate his stool
