Thanks for your responses
I've tried all the leg movements, tummy rubbing, different positions etc. We will always get a burp or bottom burp but there always seems to be more- even if we've done it for an hour. It just seems impossible to get it all out and it seems he certainly can't get it all out himself just yet.
Food intolerance? How would I know- do I just start with eliminating one type of food at a time? I eat all those foods you mentioned!
I forgot to say in my last post that feeding is being constantly interrupted by the grunting and groaning. So much so that I don't know if he has stopped feeding because of the discomfort or because he's had enough. We never get the drunk look anymore and he only occasionally falls alseep at the breast during a night feed. Also I can feel his tummy grumbling as he's feeding under my hand- it's horrible.
We have a chiropractor's appointment tomorrow and I'm really hoping she can help. Today has been a difficult day for us with the fussiness and feeding- and I've got mastitis to boot. DS pulling and stretching my nipples doesn't help me feel better at all!
I hope when everyone says it gets easier- they mean it and that time comes very soon!
