Baby very gassy during the night

Does he have reflux or could be silent reflux? My baby does this and at first we thought it was just developmental, but she also had increasingly bad reflux (bringing up almost full feeds). We have introduced gaviscon now after seeing the GP and (touch wood) she seems to do better overnight since. Gripe water also worked for us initially

It was the same with mine. She was so fussy and would make grunting noises all night long in her cot, but she would sleep well besides me. The doctor advised burping thrice or at least 10 min and doing leg bicycles to help them pass gas. Tummy time is also good for it. Stomach massages ( clockwise) and turning their legs side to side. Try bringing his legs closer to his tummy. Sometimes, I gave her infacol, and it used to help tremendously She is EBF.

@Becky we tried Gaviscon as I suspected reflux but it actually made him worse so I stopped after 3 days. I haven't tried gripe water yet but have some so I will give that a shot tonight.

@Asu thanks for the advice,I will give this a try too. Would you do this after every feed or just when he seems to be struggling? Perhaps it's laziness on my part that at 2am i just want to feed and pop him back to sleep ASAP so I can catch some sleep myself before his next feed.

Have a look at ‘farmyard hours’ it’s those early hours where their digestive system wakes up and they start grunting a lot. I haven’t found a cure but sometimes he’s not actually awake, he’s just trying to move the gas himself

We’ve struggled with this since he was very little, he’s now 10 weeks and he’s still a wiggly, windy and grunting baby! I have tried winding him lots and not at all, we’ve given him infacol, put his cot on an incline, nothing seems to help solve it completely! I think they just need time to develop their digestive systems unfortunately. Sometimes I can do bicycle legs and supported squat at his 3am nappy change and that helps, but other times he’ll just scream at me when I try!

@Laura I'm hoping he will out grow it soon as it's tiring. I try to tune it out if I think he's in active sleep with it and in his basket but if it's after nightly feeds or nappy changes he struggles to fall back asleep and sounds as if he struggles with it so it's impossible to tube out or ignore.
