Indigo my DD does exactly the same! Cries, comforted by boob only and then pulls legs up and farts...
Cakebaby, I feel so so sorry for you! Sending you lots if hugs. One handed on phone as I'm feeding DD now, so can't check, but how old I'd your DC?
I had a weird night, DD was screaming bloody murder after an evening feed, then poos, after nappy change inconsolable crying continued, would not even take boob. My mum warmed a muslin with an iron and put on DD's tummy (on the sleepsuit,not on skin), after sshhhushing, tummy rubbing and dummy DD fell asleep (first time in weeks without boob), slept for an hour, I fed her back to sleep, another hour, then she woke up just as I was ready to fall asleep (old creaky door woke her up, grr), spent an hour trying to get her to sleep, feed, de-latch, dummy, she wakes after 5 mins, repeat. Finally fell asleep for 3 hours, then 2, then half hour, then weird restless sleep until about 9.30. Completely unpredictable.
But... I remembered today about the Wonder Weeks - did any of you know about it? It's basically describing these leaps that babies go through during the first year I'd their life. I checked and sure enough DD is currently going through one and has been for the last 3.5 weeks so basically since about Christmas! It says she's learning about relationships between objects, things like distance, position (something is over or under something etc). During the leap babies' sleep us affected, they require more attention, they also have mood swings. It all makes sense...
If you're interested there's a book, but also a free app that has the most important info about each leap:)
Phew, what an essay! DD seems to be asleep, maybe i'll manage to sneak out of the room unnoticed:) good luck to all of you for tonight!
