I am baffled. Our son is 14 months old. Good growth/weight, hitting milestones, babbling and generally great and cheery in the day. At night he is miserable. He has always slept terribly. Had a tongue tie (managed to bf through it, got it clipped at 11 months which helped a bit with mega-drooling and solids). He also had silent relfux, and it may be it is still just that. But it is odd to me that since he started sitting up/eating solids /when he went from vomming lots too, to 'silent' relflux behaviour so pain lying down etc. his sleep has stubbornly stayed pretty much the same. Maybe a 2-3 hr chunk at start of the night, followed by hourly (or more) waking, wanting to be latched on all night, endless shifting and shuffling and crying and arching. This has persisted through gradual shifts from 4 - 1 nap, and through patches of awful/fighting naps (3-5 months old) and not improved by getting naps sorted. He now has fairly painlessly shifted from 2 to 1 nap, and is sleeping for 1.5-2.5 hours in the middle of the day in his buggy. We have tried several reflux meds and only seen minor improvements and big side effects so off those now. Cutting out dairy and soya (nearly 2 weeks in, no sign of changes). No pattern with what he east as far as we can tell and no signs of allergy... Any ideas? I just don't get how a baby who is so fine in the day can be so not fine all night... Even if this is still reflux, shouldn't it be waning a bit by now? Are there more obscure things we should ask about? Hiatus hernia? other digestive problems? I am at a loss and very, very worn out. Hope someone has some idea of what to try or has been through something similar! It's very lonely having a baby who sleeps worse than most newborns when everyone else is getting back to some kind of normal life!
