My ds is 13 weeks..
Generally 60% of the time he is now sleeping from 6.45pm to 10.30pm and then I feed and he is down until 6.30 - 6.45am (I know that's quite lucky). BUT !! he still suffers from horrible wind and this seems to be the reason that he's waking the other times at 3 - 4am. He's always been a windy baby but I was hoping that by 13 or so weeks (he's now about 13lbs) that although he might still have wind that he may be getting better. Last night, he woke at 4am and it took me an hour of tummy massage, leg cycling, jiggling etc to get him off - eventually I took him into the spare bed with me, cuddled him to sleep and lay him down next to me on top of the duvet and he went off for until 7.30am. Poor thing really was in pain.
I am still using Infacol before each feed during the day. I use Dr Brown bottles. I've gone up to no 3 teat. At the early evening and 10.30 feed, I sometimes give him a 5ml spoon of gripe water to get the wind up after the feed. He's formula fed Aptamil.
Anyone else have a baby who still suffered from wind (badly) at this stage which interrupted seemingly fairly good sleep patterns. Should I give the gripe water after the feed if I've given Infacol before ??
Any tips welcomed
Thanks
