Baby is 7 weeks old, EBF and gaining weight well. BUT farts (I kid you not) at least 50 times a day. I wouldn’t care but they smell awful and 90% of the time they really upset him - he goes rigid and screams until he passes the gas. Then he’s so upset by it that he’s really hard to settle. He sleeps max 2 hours at a time overnight and when he wakes it’s definitely because of the gas as you can hear (and smell) him passing it as he wakes up. If he’s asleep on me or DH he’ll sleep longer as we can soothe him before he fully wakes with it but that’s not sustainable.
My eldest had CMPA so I’ve been off dairy for just about 4 weeks but it’s made no difference. Have had the latch checked in case he’s taking in air and it seems ok. I’ve had mastitis recently but this issue pre dates that. Doctors don’t seem bothered as he’s gaining weight really well and staying on his curve, and I get “some babies are just fussier than others” but it’s horrible seeing him in distress.
So basically, help! Has anyone else ever experienced this? It almost seems like reverse reflux but I’m not sure that’s a thing!
