Unsettled sleep and feeding

[AliBally2023]

Hello, my little one is currently 7 weeks old and feeding on cow and gate. He has terrible trouble burping (we use infacol) and never seems to settle and have a peaceful sleep. Always grunting and straining and never really sleeps longer than 3-4 hours due to this. Was thinking of swapping feed to hipp organic. Any suggestions or recommendations?

Not particularly helpful but sleeping 3-4hrs at a time at 7 weeks is very normal.

I could have written this post myself. My DD is 7 weeks and we had the exact same issue since she was 1 week old.

Straining, squeezing, hysterical crying, won't wind, thrashing about, arms and legs flailing. Wouldn't sleep for more then 2 hours and fed every 2 hours.

We tried infacol, useless. Went to GP as we had same issues with DD last year. Offered carobel which is a milk thickener. Refused this as didn't help DD last year. They gave us gaviscon which helped for a while then constipated DD. So they gave us a laxative. Still having same issues which got worse. Now she's on Omeprozol which now is the 3rd day and she is sleeping 3-4 hours at a time, and most of the above issues are gone!

It's definitely been a journey. I'd recommend speaking to your GP asap!

Also. Sleeping 3/4 hours at this age is great. It really shouldn't be more than that at this stage:

I'd love for 5 week old DD to sleep for 3-4 hours. I've had a grand total of 45 minutes sleep tonight

I’m aware that is a normal amount of sleep, however it’s never peaceful as I said. Always straining and grunting.

Speak to the GP. Classic symptoms of reflux!
