Hysterical baby when put down

[An89]

Please help if you have had the same experience.

My baby breastfeeds and either falls asleep on me or pulls away. As soon as I move even an inch he starts to fuss, but won't go back on. If I put him down he screams hysterically as though he in SO much pain and doesn't stop unless he's picked up again.

I know we are having some issues with wind but he's never Been this hysterical at being put down.

I thought reflux? - but he doesn't really spitt back or.vomit.

Could he still.be hungry? Sometimes he will go back on and fall asleep immediately but is he doing this for comfort? - I top up with formula and after this sometimes he will go down.

I’ve got one who still often wakes up when I move away and he’s 7!

I would try a dummy worked whilst he was bf and took the dummy. Or feed to sleep on an empty double bed then roll away leaving the baby asleep on the bed. I am aware that not everyone is comfortable with this.
You can also try putting them down whilst still feeding and you feed lent over the top of the Moses basket.

If it’s any consolation it just shows how closely bonded you both are!

Only based on my experience with DD2, I would try a dairy free diet, just to rule out CMPA.

DD2 would never be put down and wanted to feed all the time, I think it was for comfort/relief from a sore tummy due to CMPA.

I never had a official diagnosis (health service wouldn't entertain it), but from 1 month until she was about a year old if I ate any dairy at all, the effect on her was obvious. Clingy and grumpy, sore tummy and throwing up a full feed (all over me!)

My daughter couldn't be put down for more than 2 or 3 seconds. At 3-4 months she was in my arms 23h a day with just a short reprieve when daddy got home from work. It was due to severe silent reflux and multiple food allergies within a week of high dose reflux treatment and changing my diet we could put her down more
