DTD2 has been sleeping very badly recently. I've finally figured out the problem - she has wind. Last night I spent some time getting her to burp after her bedtime bf, and she woke once at 11.30, burped and went back to sleep then slept until 5.30! This compares to recent nights of waking every 1-2 hours and bf 2 - 3 times as the only way I can find to calm her down.
So, now I know the problem I need some help with solving it. I tried to get her to take some gripe water tonight but she is sleepy after her feed and not interested. Is there sometime thing I can give her before feeding or some tips for burping a baby of this age?
She arches her back and screams with the wind so she's quite difficult to hold on shoulder/over knee etc.
Perhaps I just need to persevere with what I am doing, but any tips would be much appreciated and any stories of other babies sufffering like this at this age would reassure me.
thanks
