My 4.5mo is having problems feeding, pulls off breast in pain (it seems) throughout feeds. Been like this since 3 mo when stopped 'wearing' him due to back pain. He won't sleep much, and since 3.5m, is up a lot of night and screams if i have him off me at night. Between stressful days and sleepless nights I'm finding it hard to cope.
I'm convinced it's digestive prob of some sort not lack of milk (despite the advice of every relative that he's hungry hungry hungry) because sometimes he's crying with a mouthful of milk; and he's not rooting all the time, only when I'd expect him to be hungry and then, of course, I feed him. He wasn't burping at all, but I am getting up some burps now with gripe water now and he farts explosively (and uncomfortably).
Anyway, someone suggested cranial osteopathy for sleep / digestive problems. Anyone else heard about this? I'd only heard about it as a birth/colic thing but we didn't have colic. Any other tips appreciated too for the BFing/sleep problems.
And finally, any recommendations for CO near London N7.
Thank you!
