Grunting and Gas-6 week old - Started being fussier...

DD is 6 weeks old: (Breastfed)
Grunts during day- pulls up legs like trying to poop (has been doing for weeks)
Worst is at nite when she is grunting for long periods of time and I can hear her in the room next door and can?t sleep. She doesn?t cry, she just grunts and grunts and grunts. She is loud.
Farts a lot.
(has been doing for weeks?some nights she does a lot, some nights-hardly at all)
-What can I do? I need sleep. I eat quite bland, have taken out pretty much all dairy and citrus. I am frazzled today.
 
She has also started being fussier in general these last couple days....is that normal for a 6 week old, I have heard it is.

    Can't help you with the gas part, but the fussy is normal for a 6-week old.  We noticed DS was at his most fussy between weeks 6 and 8.

    Fussy is very normal at 6 weeks. It's not only a growth spurt, but it's also when a lot of babies start to smile and their brains go through some kind of transition (can't explain really, but read it in a book recently). So that's completely normal. Also, DS grunts all the time in his sleep too. Also normal. Sounds like you just need to wait it out. GL!

    We were using mylicon for gas and my father in law suggested we use gripe water as well.  He said he thought it helped more than mylicon for cramps.  I have noticed that Gideon pulls his legs up a lot less and doesn't seem as uncomfortable.
