Hi everyone sorry if this is the wrong place it's only my second post. My baby is 10 weeks, he had colic and reflux, we couldn't lay him down as he would be sick, gag and stop breathing (briefly but still scary for him and us). As a result he would only sleep upright on mine or my partners chest. Nearly 3 months later and we're still doing this. We're exhausted as we stay awake because it's not safe for us to sleep with him like this because of SIDS risk. His symptoms have improved but he still has reflux, we've been trying to put him in his crib but he screams till he's inconsolable and starts gagging again. I don't know how much of it now is reflux and how much is because he's used to sleeping on us. Does anyone have advice? I'm pretty desperate. Things we've tried - we've raised the head end of the cot, he's on ranitidine for the reflux, also on comfort formula.
