Hello everyone,
Just bought Tracy's book and still reading it. I read about it on the internet but haven't tried it before because I thought I needed to work on my baby's gas problem. Well she is 10 weeks old. Ss many babies we started really well. She was just waking up for food. She is breatfed btw. I don't know what happened but after 3rd week her sleep habits changed completely. I figured out it was gas because whenever I massage her she releases a noticeable amount each time
And the cryings as well. Most people said that it is gonna end when we reach our 3rd month but I see no change yet. On the contrary it seems that she is getting worse. I feel like I am losing control. Before I could make her sleep on herself at least for a few times but for these last 4 or 5 days she cries badly when I put her down and I can't calm her. She has been sleeping in different ways. If I felt like she had digestion problem, I let her sleep on my chest for hours because otherwise I knew that she was gonna wake up the moment I put her down. However, I kept trying and sometimes I was successful at putting her sleep on her own. If I achieve to make her sleep she sleeps for 1 hour at most. I couldn't find any info about gas problem and sleep issues. I am writing this post holding her in my arms for 2 hours and guess what she is sleeping
Even now she makes some noises that shows that she is in pain. I guess her body is somehow heated by my body temperature and she is in upright position so gas doesn't bother her that much. I don't want to tire her. If I force her, she gets angry and upset and overtired as well. Surprisingly she has good sleep at night. If we are lucky she sleeps at 8 pm. If not, we see 10 pm. If I try to breastfeed her at 11 pm, she sucks a bit but not like she is hungry. She wakes up around 4 am, mostly I see her crunching her legs and crying. I try to calm her down by moving her legs but generally she gets milk and goes back to an uncomfortable sleep till 7 am. If she can poo in the morning I see myself luck because she sleeps at least two 45 minute naps till 12 am. Then, it is all chaos. Most people say gas pain starts in the evening times but ours is during daytime. They say I am lucky because she sleeps at night but you should come and see me trying to do housework with her in my arms
Anyway, I am blessed with her existance but want you guys' opinions and comments like how to start, where to start. Should I wait a bit more till I am satisfied that she gets over her gas problem or force her. Have you guys had similar problems? How did you approach them?
