<human>: My 4 month old has been having loud stomach noises after swallowing some breast milk most mornings. It doesn t happen at any other time of day and he eats 2-3 times at night with no problem. But around 7 am after he swallows, his stomach gurgles, he arches his back, pulls off and cries. I try to burp him, but don t usually get one out. After this happens a few times he won t feed anymore and then needs to be calmed down. We know that he is intolerant of dairy and soy and I ve been on a strict diet for almost a month now. He had specks of blood in his stool, which are looking better. What is causing the stomach pain?
<bot>: Hello, Thanks for writing to Chat Doctor, According to the information provided I conclude that mostly baby is having some element of Gastroesophageal reflux. What is babies weight? Is growth fine? You may please try keeping him in position with head up 30-40 degree and legs down after a feed. Best would be place babies mattress on a small wooden plank and elevate the headed by 30-40 degree. Also in case he is on outside feed, start thickened feeds. Hope this helps
