Hi, does anyone know why my little boy has started to do this? He’s doing this at night time and waking himself up. He also seems to be grunting whilst doing it… arms and legs in air … I’ve burped him, fed him and changed nappy. I’ve had 1 hour sleep as he is so noisy and it looks like he is uncomfortable.. he will be 8 weeks old on Friday.

Probably wind at the other end. My boy is 2 weeks old and really struggling to pass wind from his bottom atm. It does pass eventually as their digestive system develops, but look up bicycle legs/gently press his legs into his tummy to help him release it x

he hasn’t done this for a while. When I pick him up and lie him next to me in the bed he stops so I don’t know if it is as surely he would still be doing it?

Probably just practicing his range of motion then :)

if he could do it silently 😂 😂 like a zombie today!

My little one is exactly the same. It seems to stop or decrease when I pop her next to me for half hour in the morning. I think it is wind/their digestive system developing as Becky above said. She's so loud and noisy with it 😂 x

My Little Boy was exactly the same until I started giving him Infacol before each feed, just helps to pass the wind as it’s heartbreaking seeing them struggle. He most likely just likes the comfort of being with you which helps him feel at ease even when he has wind, mines exactly the same x
