My 3 week old started to get really gassy around 10 days old- it was impacting his sleep and you could see how uncomfortable he is. He did used to sleep in his next to me or moses basket ok, but now he can't seem to lie flat so wont settle. We've tried lots of stuff but it's getting worse to the point that he's barely sleeping- last night he slept for about an hour and even in the day he's not sleeping properly as he clearly wakes up in pain straining, red faced etc.
We've tried:
- mam anti colic bottles
- so many exercises I.e bicycles and massages multiple times a day (which does get a good amount of gas out but still doesn't settle him)
-pace feeding (as best I can)
- tried colief and another gas drops (can't seem to source infacol) but they haven't made any difference
We know he has a bad tongue tie and is formula fed as breastfeeding didn't work and so have an assessment on Tuesday (will pay privately to sort it if they don't cut it) and going to see an osteopath to see if that helps
But are there any other suggestions on what we can do? I am absolutely shattered but mostly just so sad seeing him in so much pain and feel like I'm failing him.
Am just about to buy cow and gate comfort (he's on cow and gate already as that's what they gave him in hospital so I didn't want to change brands just yet incase that made things worse). Has anyone had any success with this?
Or anything else we could try? One desperate mumma here, who just wants to help their boy (& get a bit of sleep too!)
Thanks in advance
