New born arch back

Hey my 2 weeks just started arching back and screaming after breast feeds. What advice for such a young baby to help him with the pain.

I would say it could be trapped wind so baby's uncomfortable xx

You could rub baby's belly and do some leg exercises

Gas probably. Are you getting a good burp out? I would pause a few times during feeds and burp him during the feeds and a good burp at the end too.

my baby is 5wks tomorrow and here’s what we’ve been doing: • warm baths • different winding positions (a good one I’ve just become confident with is placing him on his belly across my knees and gently patting/rubbing his back while supporting his head/neck) • tummy time • tummy and back massage • regular winding (even around feeds) • Advanced Anti-Colic bottles • Infacol (I didn’t check with my healthcare provider but you can if you want) • ensuring his latch is secure so he’s not sucking in air it’s a massive learning curve and trapped wind is so common in our little ones. be patient with yourself and him as well ❤️ hope this helps xx

@hannah totally agree especially putting baby across the knees on belly. Iv notived he's not fussy in that position
