My DS is almost six months and has been a good sleeper until now, napping three times a day and waking just once in the night or not at all. Suddenly though everything has changed!
For the last week he’s been waking every couple of hours, crying for about 30 seconds to a minute, then passing gas and going back to sleep.
At first I assumed he was hungry, but then I realised he was doing this every three hours so couldn’t be needing milk. Plus the fact he stopped crying after about 30 seconds to a minute suggests that it’s trapped wind rather than hunger.
I feel guilty as I’ve just been leaving him to cry before he falls back to sleep. Should I be up straightaway and comforting him?
He’s FF, on about a litre a day and has been completely fine and happy on his formula until now. Wind doesn’t seem to trouble him in the day, just at night.
One thing I have noticed is that he barely burps now after feeding. He used to bring up big burps but now it’s just a few little splutters if that! Is that normal at his age or should he be burping as much as ever?
Is there anything I can do to solve the sleep/wind issue? He’s not started on solids yet but is due to do so very soon...
