Hi, hoping for a bit of an advice.
As the title says my 4.5 month old second DS takes ages to settle at night.
It's like as soon as it's bedtime he is absolutely full of wind and he just cannot get comfortable, so I spend forever trying to help him to get rid of it and then shh-ing and patting him to sleep.
He is ebf and on the whole is a very happy chappy in the day. He never had colic unlike his older brother and apart from a couple of episodes of being uncomfortable with wind in the day it only seems to bother him at bedtime and in the middle of the night. I have therefore got into the habit of bringing him into bed and cosleeping when I can't get him to go back in his snuzpod. He then tends to fall asleep feeding, as it obvious comforts him. Not sure if that contributes to the wind as he's not being burped, although I don't think he's taking a lot.
I'm just not sure what to do. I keep thinking he'll grow out of it but since starting to put him to bed upstairs from 3 months it has been the same. I was planning on some sleep training from about 6 months but I can't see it working because he is clearly uncomfortable.
Has anyone gone through anything similar? Did it get better? I've tried the usual infacol, gripe water, tummy massage etc
Any thoughts really appreciated! Thanks!
