DS still popping at night

[FabulousBakerGirl]

Last time I posted there were lots of hilarity but I am getting worried now. It isn't every night that his bottom makes a popping sound, but he wakes up and cries. I rub his legs and tummy and try and move him but nothing works and I have to just leave him to settle himself. He is almost 4.

Popping?

[FabulousBakerGirl]

Yes, popping noises from his bottom.

So we are talking trapped wind right? does it happend after eating certain foods? Might be worth keeping a food diary to see if there is a link - could be something he is having difficulty digesting.

[FabulousBakerGirl]

That's what DH thinks. No set pattern from what I can see. Only used to happen after being at PIL but has happened when here too.

Ok, I get it now, sorry!

warm bath before bed? That helps with wind.

Can you get windeze type stuff for children? I imagine you can because it's the same stuff as infacol for babies. Could you try that?

[Pepa]

If he is having difficulties digesting something it might be something he ate the day before, not necessarily something he ate today ? so I found a food diary was really handy when my ds was constipated in figuring that out...also not to be too intrusive but is he going to the toilet ok?

[FabulousBakerGirl]

He goes once a day, always surprised how big his bowel movements are, has a bladder the size of France (like his sister.)
