Hi, really need advice. My second son is 5 weeks old and breastfed. My husband works nights. I have a muscle condition which amongst other things results in weak wrists. My son is incredibly hard to wind. I have tried every position that I can think of or find online. As a result he screams in pain after each night feed. Occasionally he does bring it up and then sleeps in his moses basket but most of the time if I hold him upright on me he can drop off but shuffles and screams with pain every 10-15 mins until an hour or so after the feed when he throws up. I need ideas. At the moment all I can think is he needs to go into temporary foster care and hopefully one day I'd get him back but I can't bear to do it. My husband can't switch from nights to days and there isn't anyone else to help at night time. Please, there must be something I can do? I sat and cried as he screamed and was going to look up the number for local social services but thought I would try here first. It must sound so stupid but I hope it makes some sense and that someone has the advice I need
