Hi all,
My 6 wk old son (breastfed baby) won't sleep most nights, on a good night when he will go into his cot he wakes up hungry every 2.5 hours, so i get 1 hour sleep maybe if he goes down quickly and doesn't wake a million times cause of his winds. He throws up all through the night, I could keep winding him forever cause there are always more. He cries cause his tummy is hurting him. Im exhausted and at my wits end.
He is on losec for reflux but it doesn't seem to be helping.
Any suggestions?
Also my nipples are not getting better, they are getting more and more raw, my right nipple is so sore, I cried all through his feed this morning, it feels like it's being ripped off.
I also want to know about top up feeds of formula, does he need it if he's waking up so often to eat? 2.5 hours maximum from beginning one feed to beginning next?
I just want to maybe give him one before bed at night to help him feel fuller. Will it make his reflux worse?
Please help...
