Indigestion?

in Parenting after 35

So tonight and Monday night B has woken up crying after about an hour or so and can't put herself back to sleep.  We generally giver her time to fuss and put herself back to sleep but these 2 night I could tell something was awry.  I went and picked her up and both times she has let out a big burp and pretty much went right back to sleep.  Monday night she started burping right after dinner...so I thought maybe I fed her too much. 

So I moved dinner time back a littler earlier and gave her less but tonight, same deal.  I don't really "burp" her anymore after her nighttime bottle...but maybe I need to start doing that again?  Or maybe it has something to do how much I'm feeding her?

Thoughts? Suggestions?

    Hey Liz -

    Jack has the same issue. Basically when I give him his last bottle before bed. When he's done drinking he either falls asleep on my shoulder or laying across me. I kinds softly patt his bum as he is falling asleep and this somehow generates a burp or two. I'm not trying to burp him but I get the same result almost every night. He drinks about 6oz in his bedtime bottle. So maybe it would be good to gently burp Brenna after her last bottle.

    Or did she eat something that is making her gassy - broccoli, etc.  Ellie went through a phase around 9-10 months where she was a bit gassy after nursing, so I started burping her again.  Any changes in formula or meals at DC?  They tried to feed Ellie baked beans today, but she apparently refused :)

    Yes!  She has been eating broccoli at daycare like crazy this week!  Now I need to go dig her "report card" from today out of the garbage to see what she had to eat...but I know they've been giving her broccoli this week, which I think is new.

    It doesn't help that Brenna will eat and eat and eat until the cows come home...so I never know when she's full...

    I think I will just have to make it a point to burp her before putting her down...

    Thanks Karen!  Looks like I'm going to have start burping again!  There are worse things, I guess! 

    Sydney is getting to be such a grown up!  :)
