Hi, my son is 5 weeks and he never sleeps for long. He is often grunting and trying to poo (usually from mid after noon to 6am is worse). At night he literally just grunts and strains all night long. We usually (touch wood) get one sleep at night of about 2-3 hours sleep but that' s it, the rest are shorter and are on me, or are when he and I fall asleep feeding. In the day he just doesn't sleep. IF Im lucky i might get one 45 min sleep, the rest I put him down and he's crying within 5-10 mins.
He feeds fine and seems to need feeding every 2.5 hours, even though he feeds for about an hour each time. He doesn't grunt when feeding (except during early hours as I dont burp, Im too tired and half asleep). He doesn't arch or anything and is happy if I pick him up and feed. He has runny mustard poos and lots of them!
Just wondered what other people do in this situation> I am cutting out dairy which is hard, and eggs, onion, choc, cafffeine, as my chiro told me to.
I also have a HUB but don't use it all the time (not alot actually) as I find Im trying to settle in his bed, then its' feed time and it's a vicious cycle.
My girls were also similar but I can't remember what I did and when it got better. Thanks
