handing crans01 a torch believe me please when I tell you there is light!

How long have you been using using the meds?

Have you explored the possibility of an allergy?

Is your LO FF or BF?

Thanks for your reply.
We tried the allergy route with nutramigen mik but no difference. New mik now for 1 week but he has been on renitidine for nearly 6 weeks they have justed increased the dose. LO is FF. He has been like this since day one. He is constantly on the move also even in his sleep, just never seems comfortable.

Which nutramigen are you on? Nutramigen 1? Nutramigen 1 didn't like DS so we are now on Nutramigen AA, and have never looked back. Maybe worth a try. Although you will need to give it a bit longer to get the rest out of his system.

Which bottles are you using? An anti colic bottle with a faster flow may help.

My DD was like this and we never found anything for it. She pulled off and twisted and screamed through feeds, she wouldn't be put down, she climbed, wriggled and arched her back all the time you held her. We just used to make it our primary mission to keep her asleep as much as possible: a mix of white noise at home and going for long, long walks with her in a pushchair or sling.

She eventually grew out of it as she got physically stronger and really turned a corner at about 6 - 7 months when she started get about on her own. So it could be a bit longer yet but there defintiely is light at the end of the tunnel.
