Who else is not sleeping at all?!

Question

6 weeks and she still isn’t sleeping and it’s getting worse. Pretty sure she has reflux or something I can’t lay her down without her spitting up. I’ve done EVERYTHING possible

Answer

Yep we have reflux he would only sleep on us, and I wouldn't sleep with him on me so we were getting no sleep, went to the docs he gave us baby gaviscon and I started winding him between each feed, keeping him upright afterwards and cut dairy out of my diet - these have all helped slightly now I can put him down flat on the bed but he still goes sick and it still hurts so we have to be sleeping right next to him but we're getting more sleep than before this way and I started propping myself up when holding him and making sure there were no covers and sleeping like that too (it's more of a broken nap but better than nothing) so good luck!! Also just remember they will grow out if it so keep going you can do this! Try to just enjoy the fact they are little and do what you can to help ... I'm off to a cranial osteopath today to see if they can help too 🤞👍❤️

Answer

Mine too. I know I shouldn’t but I have a daytime nap for her that has 3 angles of elevated. I let her sleep in it at night elevated to the middle setting. It has been my saving grace. I get 2-3 hour intervals now at night since I’ve let her use it at night. Once she starts rolling over though I don’t know what I’ll do 😳 but until then...

Answer

I feel ya...we were suffering too and the reflux is still around and she’s still not a great sleeper, but there are a few things we’ve done which seems to have made matters a little better. 
So I’ve cut dairy from my diet completely, I’m only drinking decaf tea/coffee. The other thing that seems to have made a difference...burp burp burp. She doesn’t like it very much, but every opportunity I get, I position her over my shoulders and keep thumping her back and lower back. Whether she’s just eaten or eaten a while ago, I keep doing this. Seems to get a lot of the trapped air out through the day. 
We have also started swaddling her in Love to dream swaddle which we bought on Amazon. This seems to help with her startle reflex and keeps her sleeping for longer. 
Nights have gotten easier and she’s even taking naps in her rocker or crib during the day. It’s not the perfect situation still, but it’s better than it was. Our LO is nearly 6 weeks too.
