Hi,
I've posted on here before about trying to get my new baby into a regular sleep routine. Unfortunately, this problem now seems to have been superseded by what our HV believes to be silent reflux (which would explain why he HATES being put down to sleep in his moses basket).
He is FF and we have been mixing Infant Gaviscon into his feeds, which along with a pre-feed dose of Infacol and lots and lots of burping, seemed to helping him - he began to cry less and sleep a bit more. That said, when he does sleep, he makes all manner of horrendous noises - it's a bit like something from "The Exorcist" (sorry - not meaning to be flippant).
However, two nights ago I woke up suddenly to realise he had stopped breathing. This has happened twice now and I am now literally terrified. We're off to see the doctor today, so hopefully, they can help him. I suppose what I'm really seeking is some advice and support from people who are experiencing or have experienced this with their own child. Does this pass? How to you cope with it without going completely dotty?
Please help! I am utterly fraught and haven't slept for two nights now, as I just cannot take my eyes off him for a second.
