I was wondering if anyone has experienced this problem and could give me some advice.
My little one is nearly 11 weeks.
For the last 2 weeks or so, he wakes for his night feed- between 3-4am and I can't get him back to sleep in his crib. After having his night feed, he is always uncomfortable and won't go back to sleep on his back. He appears to have a lot of congestion in his nose and on his chest to the extent that he's wheezing badly. He also wriggles a lot and is restless, bringing his knees up to his chest.
I've tried everything to come up with a solution for this. I've tried infacol, infant gaviscon, as well as elevating his head and chest using a wedge in the crib, but nothing seems to work.
The only way I can get him back to sleep
following the night feed is by putting him in his pushchair in the middle elevated position. This has meant me sleeping on the sofa every night after 3am but more importantly, it means he sleeps in a push chair in an elevated position for 5-6 hours- which goes against all guidelines. This subsequently makes me feel really guilty.
This only ever happens at night.
I was wondering whether anyone else has experienced this who might be able to advise. Is there something really wrong? Anyone have any solutions? Many thanks in advance xx
