My nearly 13 week old son has had trouble with gas for weeks but after repeatedly being told that things would improve by three months, with that time now having passed I’m feeling incredibly stressed.
He’s agitated during feeds and sometimes stops midway to cry while trumping. His sleep is and always has been dreadful. I can put him down but usually within 5/ 10/ 15/ 20 minutes he’s squirming, trumping, crying and crunching his legs up. He only really has solid sleep when being held so my partner and I are exhausted and currently doing shifts with him at night. He did a five hour stretch recently which we thought was a turning point but we’re lucky if he’ll go 30 minutes now.
I’ve tried over the counter remedies, feeding in an upright position, holding upright for 30+ minutes after feeding, burping, baths, bicycle legs etc. but nothing seems to help. HV is useless and hasn’t really offered any advice or support. The only reason we got his TT diagnosed was by going through someone privately off our own back. The procedure was done today so we’re hopeful for some improvement there. I’ve tried baby massage but he soon cries and tenses up.
I feel at a bit of a loss at what to do to help him and I would appreciate any advice from parents who have experienced something similar and have any tips on what worked for you.
