1st (and only) baby born at 38 weeks uneventful c-section (planned) now 5 weeks. Combination feeding (can't raise my milk supply for whatever reason, probably missed the boat to do so 1st couple of weeks when neither he nor I could quite get the hang of it), growing well, very bonnie and chillaxed baby in the day. At night he is proving tricky to get into his cot (bedside/next to me thing) - when we put him in it within moments he starts having troubles, lifting his legs, bicycle kicking and farting with crying/a lot of noise escalating to proper crying with arms grabbing out etc. Occasionally the farting seems spectacularly loud and helpful and he'll settle, also seems to be better if i hold his bum in the air a bit. It's a physiological or maybe behavioural mystery. On our bed he can be completely flat and not have the same dramas, or at least settles post fart, and on us he can be upside down/back to front/in a hurricane and all is well. I don't think it's reflux (no top end trouble) and if it were colic it's weirdly geographically influenced. He is fine in his bassinet downstairs or pram, but both do look more cwtchy than his austere but sleep safe cot. Am a bit sleep deprived and can't cognitively decide if sensible to try co-sleeping (we're not keen at all), or if there is something wrong with his cot (that could be safely corrected, eg more cwtchy or warmer mattress, tilted end of bed etc) or if there is some winding equivalent manoeuvre for baby farts. Have been trying infracol and can't see a difference. Have been to baby massage class and he either just sleeps or gives me a withering judgemental look and then cries (at my foolish waste of money no doubt). Bowel motions as expected for age/feeding. I suspect he's just 5 weeks old and is being 5 weeks old but just in case there is some baby code to crack here I thought I would ask
