What Causes Loud Noises In Stomach After Intake Of Milk?

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?

Pediatrician 's  Response
Hello, Thanks for writing to Healthcare magic,
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 headend by 30-40 degree.
Also in case he is on outside feed, start thickened feeds.
Hope this helps
