Fearing the night...

[mrsthomas623]

My LO has not been the easiest baby.. he has had colic and is still struggling with silent reflux. He is on soy formula because he would scream on the regular formula from horrible gas.

He is a joy during the day, struggles with naps sometimes but is pretty happy. Night time is hell. He falls asleep around 8 every night and then it begins... He will typically wake around 11 or 12 and take 2 ozs, burp him and put him back to sleep. The rest of the night he wakes nearly every hour kicking his legs and thrashing around. I give him is pacifier and he falls back to sleep for a little while and wakes within an hour... usually around 3 he takes another 2 ozs and is in and out of sleep until I give up and get him up anytime between 4 and 6.

He sleeps on a reflux wedge and is swaddled, he right next to me in the bed. He is on Zantac for the reflux which seems to help a little bit.

Anyone have any tips to make him more comfortable??

Korben had reflux & colic for 1st 3mths, had to change his milk & teats, put him on Infacol for every bottle etc and was like your little one very restless of an evening, i amended his cot and highered the top half of matteress so he was kind of sitting up if you will & bought a sleeping bag instead of swaddling him.. after about a week he settled a lot more and by 4mths colic and reflux had gone.

Now he goes bed at 8pm wakes around 12.30 for 5oz, awake about 5am for 5oz then asleep till about 8am, so getting better. I know how you feel tho it can get very tiring and hard xx
