My DS is 9 weeks old. He started going longer at night last week, so now 1 night feed not two BUT since then is waking at night with trapped intestinal wind.
Have had one or two nights when he didn't wake except to feed. He starts with grunting and I can hear him moving about. He is in a swaddle, so can't really pull his legs up, but if I don't swaddle him he wakes any way by waving his arms around.
Sometimes I can get him back off very quickly - hand on tummy, does big farts, dummy in and back to sleep.
Other times it takes longer to shift the farts, he gets distressed, and it takes an hour to get him back to sleep.
Last night it was 3 times. Dr said to try Infacol, so I have bought some, but on reading the info it doesn't seem designed for intestinal wind.
Does anyone else have this problem and has medication helped? (if Infacol doesn't work I might try Colief, but it is very expensive)
(I know the methods to help release the wind (bicycling legs etc) but would it would be better if there was something that would help him pass wind without waking up!! He used to pass wind easily in his sleep...
