why is he grunting and squirming?

What does it mean when LO is grunting and squirming?  He usually starts this at about 4 am and could continue on and off for hours, but doesn't actually wake up or cry.  What is this and does anyone know how I can stop it from happening?

    Gas or attempting to poo.

    At least this is the case for my LO.

    DD has started doing this in the middle of the night when she eats. She grunts and squirms, so I think she doesn't want the bottle, but when I take it out of her mouth she starts fussing. I have no idea what she's doing, but it's definitely frustrating at 3 o'clock in the morning lol!

    My dd does this usually around the same time - she is usually working on some gas and a poop.  She has always done this since day one....

    I think it might them having a growth spuirt, if its not gas, poop, hungry, or tired. My son has been doing this off and on since 5 am.  It's driving me nutts, cause he is not normally like this!

    I have no clue.  It is so frustrating though!!  Noah grunts all of the time...and he isn't pooing because he only does this once a day!  Someone said to try a formula with rice in it so we tried Enfamil AR and it didn't change anything.  He still grunts.  I also tried propping him up a bit on a positioner and that didn't help...we have triedgas drops too and those don't help.  I guess I am just never going to get sleep!

    oh yes, we are going through this. it's all night!!!  I talked to the ped. and it's gas. I give LO gripe water at last feeding at night and helps a bit.

    That sounds very familiar to me!!! We started giving him Mylicon (sp?) since a couple of weeks ago and it made a difference! Pedi said to give  3ml before every other feeding. So I guess the problem had to be gas.
