5 month old, having trouble with wind at night, waking every hour, can't see to clear it?? HELP

[jollyjolly]

hI,

My 5 month old DS, has just recovered from a cold, and i have finally managed to get him off his Onfacol at the same time. But he seems to have terrible trouble with wind at night. He will sleep from 7pm until about 2am then he wakes and cries, he won't bring up any wind, but just spits his dummy out and screams.
I've tried feeding him and he's not hungry.
He won't sleep propelry flat after that, he'll sleep cuddled up to me, or on his front on top of me, but i can't do that eveyr night. i want him to sleep in his own bed, before he gets used t coming into ours.

Any tips for windy nightime babies?? I'm shattered

There is something called colief you get it from boots its expensive it was a tenner six years ago when i used it but it worked its a small bottle and you put it there milk try it you never know!!!

Its still a tenner i think you can get it from most chemists

I used colief on DD and it was great but it recommends that you wean them off it at 3 to 4 months, so i think maybe your Dc is a little too old for it, have you tried gripe water or maybe going back to using infacol?

Not sure what makes you think it's wind waking him, but if it is, you can't beat gripe water.

i thought ds had coelic and was totally wrong hangs head in shame

If it IS wind, try taking him to a cranial osteopath... I took my 3 when they were v windy as babies and it worked a treat - if his tummy is all tight and gripey they can relax it a bit
