I am weaning DS who is 6m - he was ebf until this point. He has pretty speedy and explosive digestion and he has also never been a great sleeper. However, since we started (last Monday), he has been really unsettled at night and has been arching his back and straining something chronic. Although I didn't expect weaning to be a magic button, I thought he might go slightly longer between wakings but if anything, he is back to his almost newborn routine of a couple of hours max.
I think it is his crazy digestion kick starting as when he farts, it sounds quite trapped wind like, iykwim, and his poos are obviously changing which could be causing him a little grief? He is still bf a fair bit so am not concerned he isn't getting enough fluid but could he be constipated (his evacuations aren't remotely solid either, sorry possibly tmi!) - he is only on veg and fruit at the mo.
I wondered if anyone else had this and if so, whether you could recommend a gentle way to ease this a little until his system catches up and he is not so unsettled? Or does this sound like something else and I should maybe get him checked?
