Disclaimer: I am a very anxious first time mum.
DS has been really unsettled yesterday and today - lots of wind, writhing with the wind, whinging after feeds not properly crying.
He’s combo fed at the moment as I had to introduced formula top ups but is also breast feeding a lot.
Today he has been doing a lot of dirty nappies that sound explosive and he has a gurgling stomach after feeds. DH has done most of the nappy changes today but they seem a bit watery whereas usually they are a bit more paste like (I guess because of the formula) although today and yesterday he has been bf more.
I just changed his nappy and it was quite runny and then he started messing while I was changing it and it came out like liquid :(
I don’t know if this is normal or not.
He doesn’t seem dehydrated, had lots of wet nappies, DH checked his fontanelle and it’s springy not sunken, and he’s still feeding a lot, currently constantly on the breast.
Yesterday night I had something with chilli in it without thinking and I’m wondering if that could Be it.
I’m also unsure of when I should go to the go/call 111 for advice as he’s so young, my gut instinct is to wait and see what happens over the next couple of hours nappy wise and then try to get an appointment for GP in the morning.
I’m just going to keep letting him bf as much as possible over night to ensure he gets fluids but just wondered if anyone had any advice and whether the nappy sounded normal or like upset stomach?
He’s very grouchy and seems in pain but he does suffer from wind so it could be that.
