Help! 2 month old won't sleep more than 10 hours/day

Alina

Hi everyone! I am a first time mom and my 2 month old baby girl doesn't sleep at all during the day, the only time she sleeps is somewhere between 7-9 pm until 5-6 am and then IF she ever falls back asleep during the day she'll wake up in less than 10 minutes. I honestly don't know what to do since i know she should be getting around 16 hours of sleep..i am also afraid of how this can affect her brain development or nervous system.

I wanna mention that we went to the doctors, we did all the tests possible, blood, ultrasounds, x-ray, and everything is fine except for reflux and gas. We gave her Gaviscon Baby for reflux and something based on Simeticone for gas but she got constipated so the reflux became worse and then we stopped.

Her reflux doesn't seem so bad anymore but she's still not sleeping and almost all the time she looks like she is uncomfortable. For gas we do massage, we give her drops, warm bath, tummy time, exercise, everything!

I changed my diet, i am not eating dairy at all, i gave up eggs, peanuts, corn, onions, broccoli, beans and all the other gassy foods..i honestly have no idea what else to do since i am also not eating well and she is still not fine. I wanted to give up breastfeeding just because i thought formula is more stable for her since it has the same ingredients every day but the doctor said she'll be the same on formula so i should keep breastfeeding.

I have never ever imagined that the first months of my baby's life are gonna be so hard for her☹ it breaks my heart seeing her like this every single day.

Do you have any advice on what to do? I am honestly desperate..i just want for her to be fine.
