Farts and wakes up every time I put him down!

My baby is now 4 weeks. Every time I put him in to bed after a feed at night time he has painful wind and farts waking himself up 🙈!

Is there anything I can do for him apart from winding, tummy rubbing and moving his legs up to his chest and back?

Is this a phase!?

Is he burping before you lay him down?

My lo who is 4 weeks on Friday is going through exactly the same but he’s winding really well before we attempt to settle him back to bed. A family member recommended colief infant drops so there arriving tomorrow 🤞🏻 they work so I can finally get some sleep again

Infacol - helped with our babies wind!

I burp him, and so does my husband but no farts or burps come out until he lies down flat on his back 🤣🙈.

Oooo someone else mentioned Coleaf, going to buy now! Thanks xxx

My baby is four weeks today and has the exact same issue.
We started using Colic Calm and there been a difference.
Also I notice some discomfort on my baby everytime she is trying to poo, she grunts and winces. Wondering if anyone else is experiencing this.

my baby was experiencing the same thing and she is 4 weeks 4 days. I have been using the Aptamil comfort milk (colic & constipation) which has been helpful she’s passing wind and pooing fine again

I thought it was peculiar to us.
It’s sort of a relief to know it’s a general thing. I’ve been worried sick

I spoke to my doctor and they said it’s normal and can last up until 4 months

She takes Aptamil formula so when she had the colic and they had the same from birth but to support with the colic I thought to get it as she was struggling to poo
So now she takes the comfort Aptamil twice a day to help her release

ours has this - it's called Infant Dyschezia aka Grunting Baby Syndrome x

When do things get easier?

As we entered the 9-12 month stage, my son started crawling and pulling himself up. He also became more clingy and does not play alone, still doesnt sleep through the night, and this week has been sick (so EVERYTHING amplified). I am tired and overwhelmed. Please lie and tell me things get better. 🥺

4 month bed time

What time do you put your babies to bed?
What time do you start your 'routine?'
My LO currently goes to bed around 10.30pm, and I know i need to start bringing it forward. Everytime ive tried, it takes longer for my LO to settle.
We are exclusively breastfeeding. Any advice Mamas?

Colostrum storing?

Has anyone successfully extracted colostrum before the baby’s born? Apparently it gets produced from 16w pregnant and you can start storing it in the freezer but I’m 34w looking at my nipples and the syringes on amazon wondering how it works?? Like what did you use and did it hurt? 🥲

6 month old autistism

My 6 month old makes no eye contact with me and doesn’t respond when I call him. Can this just be a phase or personality trait as apposed to autism

Baby with chronic congestion

Hi everyone! My 1 year has been a congested baby since birth almost. She breathes through her mouth so often that it wakes her up multiple times at night and she cries and screams and then struggles to go back to sleep. She wakes up every 1-3 hours and sometimes can’t go back to sleep for 2-3 hours!!! Piriton is the only thing that seems to help her sleep mostly through the night but I can’t keep giving her that!!
Does anyone have tips as to have I can do or give her? Has anyone experienced? I have no idea when I’ll get an ENT appointment and I have no idea what he can give a 13 mo :( we are desperate for sleep so any tips are welcome!! We have tried steam inhalation, saline drops, vapour rubs and everything off the counter basically!

Combi feeding advice

Has anyone gone from EBF to combi feeding? Currently do one bottle of EBM per night and they one half formula half breast milk mixed in the day. The other times she still feeds on me. Ideally I want to feed all day via bottle and all night with breast. She’s 7 weeks and takes a bottle well, how long should I leave it before adding another bottle to her daily routine?
