My son who is 11 months has always struggled with trapped wind. From the night he was born and every night since he frequently wakes, arches his back, stiffens his legs and screams. His tummy is hard and seems painful for him if I try to rub it. I hoped he would grow out if it by he’s nearly 1 and if anything it’s getting worse!! He is breastfed. We were referred to a paediatrician months ago who suggested I cut out dairy, which I have done, with no improvement. We have tried everything! infacol, colic calm, gripe water, not feeding too late, head end of cot is raised, baby massage, osteopathy, camomile, warm baths, bicycle legs, keeping upright for 30 minutes after feeding...the list goes on!! My daughter has a list of food intolerances so he may have a sensitive gut to something he’s getting through my milk. A few weeks ago I adopted my daughters diet which is dairy, soya, gluten and egg free. This is difficult as limits what I can eat but also hasn’t helped a bit! He used to suffer with quite bad constipation for weeks and we would help him go by raising his legs etc. Then he would have the occasional soft poo explosion. The same goes now. We are at our wits end because none of us are getting any proper sleep. It’s not an attachment issue as getting him out for a cuddle or into my bed doesn’t help. He just thrashes around screaming until it passes. Sometimes he will get a fart out that helps a little bit you can hear the wind in his tummy so I think it’s a griping pain. I have resorted to offering him the breast which seems to settle him a little or help him pass wind. He’s definitely not hungry which is why I wonder if he has acid reflux if the feeding is helping him. I’m worried now about him getting into the habit of needing to feed to go back to sleep as had hoped to start weaning him off of the breast. I’ve wondered if it could be silent reflux because it’s only at night and starts around an hour after he goes to bed and he also screams when we lay him on his back to change his nappy. I hate seeing him so upset and the fact that nearly a year on there is no improvement. I’ve called the paediatrician to say I’m not happy with him and they are seeing us again but the next appointment is in August!! None of us can go on another 4 months like this. I just wondered if anyone else had experienced this and if anything worked for you? There are lots of similar threads but none of them seem to give an update as to whether it stopped or what helped. Desperate for some help! Thank you x
