LO has been acting as though she has painful gas every night for the last several nights all. Night. Long. Seriously. I only starts after bedtime. She goes down about 7, is up crying & tooting at 8, 12, 3 & 6. When previously she was STTN. No problems whatsoever during the day. She is 4.5 months, already went through a sleep regression & was doing well with her sleep before this happened & she is EBF. Advice?

Hm. Has your diet changed recently?
Can you give gas drops and/or do some bicycles before bedtime to help release gas?

I've recently started eating "clean". I've been giving her gas drops before bed & it doesn't seem to help. I cut out all beans & gassy foods yesterday & we only had one wake up with screaming & tooting instead of several.

@Mrs. Sunshine: I'd stick with cutting the gassy foods. Seems like it helped and it will only get better. Baby gas sucks!

@Ash: it makes me feel so bad for her! She was clearly waking up in pain, she never cried like that ever before. I tried do bicycles with her legs but she didn't like it. She toots all day but it doesn't seem to be painful to her like it is at night.

@Mrs. Sunshine: we've had that problem too. I'm actually pumping and giving lo nutramigen right now because the gas was so bad. I bounce him on my knee and that helps bring it down. I hate when there's nothing you can do!
