This is going to be long but my son is about to be 1 month in 2 days. Honestly ever since he was born he’s been doing this thing where he kinda strains and turns red, but i would stay this behavior started consistently at 1.5 weeks and only has progressed to more frequent. He’s not a premie or anything, i was induced at 39 weeks for weak fetal movements and drop in heart rate at my routine weekly gyno appointment for context. He was born 6 pounds 11 oz and passed all his screenings, and as of now he’s almost 9 pounds and doesn’t seem to have trouble gaining weight per the pediatrician. It kinda seems like he’s trying really hard to push a fart or poop, ( poops daily if anything every other day, soft brown stool). He’s 75% bottle fed breast milk (has trouble latching so i pump) and 25% formula i use simulac sensitive. He does this in his sleep, when he’s awake, just every few seconds. He has some moments of his wake windows where he’s happy and alert but most of the time especially when he’s about to be put down for a nap and after he eats where he just gets super upset and cries while he does this red grunt straining thing. I can’t even explain it. I’m loosing sleep because he strains so hard he looks like he’s holding his breathe and he’s also a super heavy breather !!!! He sometimes squeals while drinking his milk and after he grunts in his sleep. He was prescribed
Pepcid at 2.5 weeks when i went to the pediatrician with my concerns, they said it’s normal but it hasn’t changed anything and has gotten way more frequent since then. I try gripe water and myclicon and absolutely doesn’t do anything even being frequent with how much i give it to him. I also give him 5 drops of the biogia probiotic drops since 2.5 weeks. Just need someone to tell me if there LO did this too or had a common experience. If so when did it go away? I heard around 3-4 months but that seems so far away 😩.

Oh btw im aware of infant dyscheszia but this is so bad and constant. I cannot emphasize how often this happens in a day and everyday.

He’s 75% bottle fed breast milk (has trouble latching so i pump) and 25% formula i use simulac sensitive. I’m getting to a point where I’m super concerned. He’s my first and i honestly might have a little bit of ppa mixed in to make me extra worried. I already am an over thinker and all these hormones and being my first is super overwhelming. He does this in his sleep, when he’s awake, just every few seconds.

I can’t even explain it. I’m going to insert a video of when he’s sleeping and awake doing it but i need help. EDIT: Reddit for some reason won’t let me add videos or picture but if it does eventually I’ll add it. I wish could so you can see truly what I’m talking about.

Pepcid at 2.5 weeks when i went to the pediatrician with my concerns, but it hasn’t changed anything and has gotten worse since then. I try gripe water and myclicon and absolutely doesn’t do anything even being frequent with how much i give it to him. I also give him 5 drops of the biogia probiotic drops since 2.5 weeks. I’m sorry i need help or someone that has this happen with there LO, was there a reason or cause to all of this?? Or did it go away with time.

I can’t insert a video on here but this is a video from an old Reddit post that is exactly what my babies doing. Except he turns pretty red in the process and kinda holds his breathe from how much he’s straining, here’s the link
