Hi
DS born 13 weeks ago and, up until 2-3 weeks ago had terrible reflux and digestive issues. I was convinced he needed medication but dr just passed me off as a hysterical first time mum and I just had to accept I had a "colicky" baby.
Although DS would fall asleep, he would spend the entire night writhing and groaning and screaming in his sleep, until he would wake himself up and be inconsolable.
We averaged about 4 hours of sleep a night. No naps during the day either.
Now he's been on ranitidine for a few weeks, along with a change of formula, he's a different baby. He actually smiles! He laughs! He sleeps!
Given how awful things were before, any additional sleep has been a godsend. However, everyone I speak to seems surprise he isn't sleeping through the night "yet" (and here was me thinking we were doing so well!)
After bath and feed he's down for 7.30-8 pm
Dream feed at 1030
Then, depending on how much he eats, he'll sleep til between 330-4
Then feed and down again til 620 on the dot where, if I'm quick enough with the dummy, he'll perhaps doze til 715.
We're also up to 2 naps of 1-2h and1 nap of 45ma day.
He's a truly terrible feeder so even though the DF isn't working, I'm loathe to drop it as he really doesn't take enough during the day.
Does this sound about right? Obviously I'd love for him to sleep through but I think he's far too little (and traumatised!) but I keep getting told that he "should" be going 7-7 by now

Does this sound about right? 13 week old sleep...or lack thereof
