He does fall asleep at the breast sometimes, but not always. He usually settles right to sleep, it's keeping him asleep that is the problem. I sometimes use a paci, but he doesn't always take it. He has a hard time getting the sucking motion down as he tries to suck it like the breast.
If it's gas, why would it happen at the same time every night?? He sleeps like a champ from 7pm-1am (with a DF at 10), then is up for a feed at 1:00, goes back down at about 1:15, then is up by 2, and it's every 30-45 min until he starts his day at 7:00. He does seem like he's in pain, but it happens at the same time, no matter what I eat. I'm on an elimination diet, so the only veggies I eat are zucchini, lettuce, and red pepper, no dairy or soy at all, I've had corn a few times. I eat a bowl of bran cereal every morning to help me stay regular (TMI.. sorry) but I don't see how that would affect him at night.
I vary my diet especially at dinnertime to see if anything made a difference, but it doesn't. I just don't know where all of this gas is coming from so suddenly. He wasn't waking this much when I wasn't on the elimination diet.
