17mth's and wakes up all night with gas pains

My dd is 17 months and she has been waking up screaming and Crying or Very sad

with gas pains. When she finally passes the gas it takes her awile to fall back asleep.
I don't know what the cause of this is.
She is allergic to dairy - so none of that is in her diet. She doesn't eat beans or cabbage.
She doesn't make a poopy till the morning.
Is it normal for kids to wake from this.
Please help it keeps us up at night.

I couldn't believe it when I saw this post. My son is almost seventeen months and just had the same thing tonight. My son was screaming tonight for 25 minutes in pain and I didn't know what to do with him. He doesn't eat any solids yet bec. he can't tolerate any food. He drinks a special medical formula and he still has stomach problems. You could give mylocon drops it can also help for older kids. I give my son Maalox but you should ask the doctor. Could it be maybe the baby is constipated it can make them very gassy

she poops at least once a day
she eats well all day, I can't pinpoint what it could be.
I'm gonna have to ask the dr.
refuah shelaima to your little one - he should only be well.
yeah, shoshy was screaming for about that much, nursing calms her, but then I have to wind her down and back to sleep - she's still in my bed.
it can be a tiny little release of gas that would have her screaming, crazy.
with prays we should get thru this!
at least we're not alone Smile

I don't nurse him anymore and he didn't even want his bottle. He is in a very uncomfortable sleep and he keeps crying. has your baby been doing this for a while or did it just start maybe there is something else she is allergic to
