18 Month Old Night Waking, Gas pains?

Ali

Hi,

My 18 month old has been waking every night for the past 2 months. She has a good routine and sleeps normally for her nap but once she goes down within 3 hours she’s fussing and crying.

We’ve noticed she’s passing gas or struggling to.

We have massaged her tummy, exercises to help, warm baths, walks before bed time, warm water, winding after meals.

She is having regular bowel motions and might miss a day but then back to daily.

She was formula fed until 1 and has taken a cup since. She’s on Alpro Growing up milk but takes 2 glasses a day and then water the rest.

We are at our wits end. We have tried eliminating, Dairy, Eggs, Her Soya Milk, Bananas, Gluten based products etc and no change.

She doesn’t eat junk, she gone off her veg but we keep offering but eats well otherwise. We’ve tried feeding more and less and no change.

We have given her pain relief only for her to wake again.

We have her on a probiotic and vitamin as advised.

We’ve been advised to give 2.5ml of Lactulose but she’s been waking even earlier now. I really don’t want to use it but if it helps.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks 🙏🏼
