I’m writing this at now 4am… I’ve been up on and off since 2am which is typical because my little guy is restless and like his tummy hurts every damn day from 2am-6am when we finally bring him downstairs.

I strictly just breastfeed. I’ve cut dairy, sugar, spicy foods…. Like there’s nothing besides gluten I could possibly “give up” to see what’s hurting his tummy all the time. Not spitting up just always seems to have “gas pains”…. I’ve given gas drops. We do exercises to get the gas out which aren’t always successful.

My first did not have these issues so I’m going a little cray cray trying to figure it out. I need sleep. Plain and simple… I breastfed my first until 18 months… it’s not looking to be the same for this guy. I’m close to switching to formula for him and my mental health and I’m absolutely heartbroken over that.

Any advice? We’ve been to the Dr and there’s not much they can do or left that I can do but try formula and see if there’s a change. 😩 I wouldn’t even know where to start with formula.
