Sounds like normal baby variations. You have good nights and bad, that's all.
Using the breast to settle your baby is often the best thing to do - very effective.
How are you doing today?

DD was like that but her's was reflux related. As soon as she was on medication (Losec) she settled from night one. However she did have unsettled nights post medication but all bubs do. Maybe because your DD had a tummy pain she couldn't focus on pooing? I found if DD was having a night like that, a slightly warmer then average bath would relax her tummy muscles and helf her fluff or poo. Once she got stressed it delayed the process because everything was tensed IYKWIM but the warm bath relaxed her enough to focus on the task at hand. I used to also put a drop of lavendar oil in the bath but swished in 50mlish of hot water first to disperse it.

HTH and hopefully you are getting some much needed sleep!
