Hi Sara,

I don't know if you've seen my posting from yesterday but it sounds like you and I have the same problem. My husband and I watched our son last night flipping and flopping all over the place, it was like he just could not get comfortable and was in pain. He sleeps for about 2 hours and then wakes up flopping around for about 30-45 minutes and repeats this throughout the night. I really believe that he is in some kind of pain. He has regular bowel movements during the day, but I am thinking that he might be constipated at night - so I am going with that theory and try to help him have a bowel movement just before bedtime. I have started a chart on what he eats and drinks during the day, especially after 4:00pm. If this does not help him I am going to a specialist for sleep disorders - they will monitor brain activity as well as the digestive system.

Well - I hope this helps you in someway. I can so understand and sympathize with you - you're not alone!!

Good luck!!
