DS2 is now 9 wks after rocky start including being 5 weeks prem with IUGR and spending three weeks in SCBU.
Mostly he's quite contented and happy, self-settles during the day and at my bedtime (11pm ish).
He does seem to get very gripey and after a few nights where he wouldn't settle at all, we tried Colief which seemed to really help.
He wakes for one night feed, somewhere between 2am-4am. Takes feed, often falls asleep on the boob, but within a few mins of going into the moses basket will be awake and making a grunting/straining noise.
Eventually I give up/take pity on him and settle him next to me, where we sleep for the rest of the night. I don't think this is a long-term solution, though.
Is there such a thing as colic that really only strikes badly at 2am? Or do you think he just wants cuddles? Is there anything I can do short of sleep training or leaving him to cry? Don't want to do that, esp when he's so tiny.
