4 month old - no sleep, wind and reflux?! Help!

[OliR93]

I'm not sure where to begin. My LO is 4 months old and struggled with his tummy since birth. First constipation then we thought colic then reflux, milk allergy and finally we're back to thinking it's silent reflux. When we first changed formula to Kendamil he was a different baby for 2 weeks, so happy and didn't fight naps etc. Now since he was 10 weeks old (6 weeks ago) he hasn't stopped crying again, really unsettled and just unhappy all the time. From 8 weeks he was sleeping 7pm to 1am, then 1.30 to 6am with no night feeds so at least we were well rested. The last few weeks he wakes CONSTANTLY throughout the night pulling his legs up and rooting for his dummy but he spits it back out. He eventually lets off some very big trumps but then it starts all over again. I'm exhausted and I know baby is too. He naps a lot now and I'm worried it's effecting his development as he's not awake much in the day and cries virtually every time we put him down. He's on omaperazole for the reflux, I'm not sure if that's causing the wind?! He's 19lbs though and only on 4ml a day which is a low dose. Scared to increase it in case the wind gets worse any advice appreciated!! X

Could it be the four month sleep regression?

I think this sounds like the sleep regression rather than baby being in pain /anything being ' wrong' with baby.

They do fart in there sleep.
My five year old still does 😂.
They look uncomfortable when often they are just being babies

I also thought sleep regression but DD was like this though, her reflux was really bad and it peaks at 4 months so tends to get worse. The things that helped my DD was:-

1. Going up a teat size (I used Nuk bottle slow flow from birth then went to medium)
2. Making the milk really warm, almost hot. This helped her bring her wind up so much easier
3. Tiger in the tree hold

I know how rough reflux is, my DD is 14 months and still suffers. I hope things improve soon
