DS is 7 weeks old. For several weeks he's been thrashing, grimacing, squirming and straining at night. He looked to be in pain and was obviously unable to pass any wind at night. All the leg-cycling and tummy massage in the world couldn't shift it. So I consulted the GP as his poos were getting very acidic and he had diarrahea.
GP diagnosed cows milk intolerance and he's been on hypoallergenic formula for the past two weeks. Whilst his output has improved immensely, his nighttimes haven't.
He still thrashes, strains and cries all night long. Whats worse, it frequently awakens him so its not like he's just sleeping through it. If I take him into the bed with me sometimes he'll go into a deeper sleep and I'll get an hours sleep. But even then he'll suddenly start desperately writhing and crying himself awake again.
Literally the only difference is that he now farts at night whereas he couldn't before. But plainly he's still not getting it all out. And given the formula I don't think there's anything else we can do.
Do I just have to live with this now until his digestive system matures? I'm like a zombie.
