Does anyone recognise this behaviour? (Video clips of DS)

[BritishBeef]

Some of you may be aware of my post on the Feeding forum - see here for background.

Basically our 5 week old DS is very unsettled and sleeps about 5 hours in 24. He is now FF and we have been to GP and are currently trying him on Colief.

Here are a few video clips of the problems we are experiencing - do they ring any bells with anyone here?:

Video 1: The 'gulp/squeak noise' - This noise seems to often precede DS being unsettled. Especially after feeding or being put down in the cot at night after he's fallen asleep. Does anyone recognise this sound?

Video 2: Unsettled/crying - This is how DS usually is after a feed. This is often accompianied by him thrashing his head from side to side. Often the only way to stop it is to stand up and walk around with him in an upright position.

Video 3: Waking after being put down in cot - This is how he usually is after he's just been put down in the cot after finally falling asleep in my arms after a night feed following video 2. He does this for up to 5 minutes then will wake up.

dd1 cried for england around this age and was driving me to drink despair. infacol worked really well with every feed . winded by sitting up and slumping forward a bit and fairly firm rubbing /tapping on the back . gorgeous baby by the way - hope you find something soon that works for you

Gosh, I've not read the replys yet but that was quite hard to watch. Poor babe.

I would say try swaddling as it may help him settle and feel more secure.

Have you tried a dummy to give him something to comfort suck?

Have you tried gaviscon for his tummy?

Have you tried a very slow flow bottle?

Or that milk thats meant to help with the digestion. Omneo comfort it was called when ds was a baby.

Are you happy letting him sleep on his side? dd did and settled much better. The hv said it was ok.

CRANIAL OSTEOPATH is def worth a try.
