hi everyone

we went to the osteopath this morning, and I am crossing my fingers, but at this stage I think it has helped slightly. His first feed after we got home, he actually came off himself after about 5 minutes, so I sat him up and he did a massive burp, this happened 2 more times during the feed. Usually he'll keep drinking until he is completely full. He has now been asleep since about 4, I cant remember the last time he slept this well during the day, he usually wakes up squirming and crying in pain. She wants to see us again next week, so I'm hoping he'll be even better then.

In terms of getting his lower wind out, she suggested laying him flat, pushing his knees towards this chest and rotating the legs clockwise. Apparently this pushes the air out of the bowel, but you have to do it in a clockwise direction.
She also suggested to get burps up, to find where this rib cage finishes, and massage on it and press upwards if that makes sense, I cant explain it. She also suggested I express a little before feeds to help with flow issues, which I think one of you already suggested.

Anyway, just thought I'd let you know how I went, for others in a similar position, it is probably worth giving an osteo a try. Hopefully the improvement continues.
