4 week old sleep

Help please mamas! My 4 and a half week old is formula fed on C&G milk and is a nightmare to burp after wards! he grunts in his sleep and as the night goes on he starts to thrash his legs around and grunt even more and it sounds like he’s coughing. I think it is definitely trapped gas but how do I know if there is more too it as I’ve seen people say it could be a milk allergy or silent reflux? Would changing formula help or is this something he will just grow out of as he digestive system develops? I just feel so bad seeing him thrashing round the next to me at night time! :(

Could also to be to do with latch. We’ve had this issue & turned out my 4 week old had tongue tie. NHS didn’t pick it up, but I knew something was up. They also won’t cut if bottle fed. I had to go private to get assessment done.

We had his tounge tie cut last week? Did your little one get his cut too? Did things improve?

We give our daughter infacol before every feed bc she had so much gas. Still has it but not as bad as it was!

Following this - i don’t know what to do for the best with my little girl

Has anyone tried gripe water? I’ve heard that’s good but think you can only use it from 2 months old?

Sounds like reflux which my baby has. The thrashing and grunting are reflux symptoms and for some reason are worse at night with my baby.
Reflux is something they grow out of but I’m about to start baby Gaviscon in hopes that it will help

yes and not yet. I’ve booked to see an osteopath

Wdy think of this for a toddler to learn word construction?

I'm open to anything else to start teaching him to read and write. He's 3!

Do men really enjoy fellatio?

Been together more than 10 years, but it's been a while since he even seemed remotely interested in me getting on my knees, or vice versa so to speak. I think it was once last year. Must be something I am doing wrong 🤔. Generally everything else in that department is great and we have two young kids with no extra support, so it's quite surprising we can't keep our hands off each other but may need to try new things. It's basically 2 positions each time with some foreplay.

Vanilla extract

Has anyone used alcohol free vanilla in their babies formal to help them drink?
I’m 100% sure my baby refuses her bottles as she doesn’t like the taste of it!

Just anxious to try it, don’t want her to get used to it and then refuse bottles again after two weeks of using (correct me if I’m wrong but I’ve read you use it for 2 weeks max)

TIA 🙂

Car seat crying

My 6 month old PANICS the second I put him in a car seat and screams, cries, chokes and recently even projectile vomited on a 14 minute drive. It’s gotten to the point I don’t even bring him out unless it’s to a doctors appointment. I’m a stay at home mom with no family in my state and it has been very isolating. We’ve tried 3 different car seats with no improvement. Has anyone had a baby who hated the car seat? Any advice? This started at 3 months. I will add it does seem worse when he’s tired. He does cry on every trip though. He only contact naps and co sleeps so he reaches for me and will not sleep in the car seat.

Naps

How is everyone doing for naps?

Little one is 9 months old and will have 2 half hour naps and one solid 1 hour - 2 hour nap a day

Then settles for night around 9pm. Wakes for a feed around 3:30 then sleeps until 6-7

Sex post C section

Hi ladies I’m 4 weeks 5 days postpartum and I had a C section. I’m not bleeding properly anymore just some brownish discharge stuff that starts on and off. I’d like to do the deed with my partner; is it okay to do so or shall I wait the full 6 weeks. I feel up for it but also worried because the advice is 6-8 weeks.
