Trapped wind at 4 months

Feeling really low today.

My DD has suspected silent reflux. She was on omeprazole but her feeding started to get a bit better (no more screaming, drinking a little more than before) and it was very hard to get her to take it so we stopped.

She has always been a noisy sleeper but capable of sleeping around 6 hours straight at night. I think partly because she’s not bothered about milk.

for the past two weeks she’s had a final bottle between 8 and 9pm and then been thrashing her legs up and down in her cot and trying to break wind. A lot of the time she sleeps through this or managed to go back to sleep but other times it wakes her up and is waking me up, sometimes every 15 minutes. She usually passes wind about 6am and is then quite content for the day.

We do baby massage on her each night, hold her upright after feeding and use warm baths to try and relax her belly.

i am feeing so tired - I now anticipate the wakings so last night was awake all night.

Is this still the reflux. We have some infant gaviscon to try - would this make any difference?

It's worth a try if she's not comfortable. The waking though could also be the start of the 4 month sleep regression. I found massaging DD's lower back use to help with wind more so than massaging her stomach.
