Hi,
Sorry bit of a long story! My 5 month old son had Necrotising enterocolitis (a perforation of the bowel basically, where the tissue had died as a result), he had quite a large part of his bowel/colon and appendix removed nearly 5 weeks ago. Op went really well, scans show its all healing well, he's been pooing regularly BUT since the op he has been extremely unsettled waking up in the night sometimes up to 10 times night (used to sleep 9 hrs straight before op), he was straining in pain and trying to pass wind. Fast forward to now doctors have put him on Neocate milk about 10 days ago, so its more gentle on his tummy. The straining has definitely improved with it but he seems to have severe trapped wind still, he cries out all night and we have to go and pull up his legs to help him pass wind. We spend long time winding after feeds in hope wind wont go downwards but it makes no difference! we are very tired out and are spending most of our nights up with lo in pain. Please does anyone have any similar experiences, on the farting all night any advice on what could help would be much appreciated!! Tia
