My 6 mo old frequently will pop on and off and cry in while Bfing.
He typically cries when he needs to nap, so I can't tell if he is just so upset that he still needs time to calm down while nursing or if he is in pain for some other reason?
What are typical symptoms of reflux and how do you distinguish them from gas, teething pain, or just general crankiness?
Also, if it were reflux, would the symtoms be consistent throughout the day and night?
The past week or so, he is having more restless sleep. He has always woken up to nurse every 2 - 2.5 hours, but the past few days, he will wake up every 1.5 hours, moving his head from side to side while whimpering and kicking his legs up and down. Sometimes there is gas and other times, nothing happens.
Wish there were some decoder for a baby's cries, as I'm sure they wish as well!
