My 4 month old has never been a brilliant sleeper particularly during day. DR thinks reflux and is on gaviscon. she now seems much happier during day although onlt taking very brief naps. as you can imagine we did a lot of what we needed to do to get by at beginning. however lately night sleep has become a nightmare. think she now relies on all these props and when she hits light sleep will waken for us. shes in ambi baby nest s0o sometimes a shuggle of that works, thats how she gets to sleep at night. but lately that doesnt work through night. so end up feeding her earlier and earlier, even then she oesnt re-settle at times. last night for example, down at 6.50, stirred and re-settled at 7.15, 9 and 1. picked her up then re-settled in cot. but at 2.30 woke completely couldnt re-settle so fed. took biggish feed but wouldnt go back to sleep. finally rocked her back to sleep at 5. dh and i demented and worried about dd1 who is being disrupted by this. any ideas, am now able to tolerate some cring i think cos none of us can go on like this.
