16 week old DD (12 week corrected age). She has bad reflux and on omeprazole once a day to help but we still need to keep her upright after feeds for minimum 15 minutes.
The problem is...
She has always been a terrible sleeper however things have worsened and I don't know what to do anymore. She has stopped napping (she was never good at this and only managed one decent morning nap and sometimes would doze off in the afternoon for 20-30 mins if I was lucky). She now wakes about 6-7am, naps for 20 mins after being up for an hour to two hours. Then she is awake all day and might catnap for 10-15 mins once more in the day. We start a bedtime routine at 7pm and it takes until 9-10pm to get her to sleep, sometimes even later. She wakes once or twice during the night. She is therefore only getting about 10 hours sleep across 24 hour periods max.
What do I do!? I have tried every trick in the book... white noise, sling, sleepyhead, cosleeping, dummies, etc etc.
We also have to feed her to sleep otherwise we'd never have a shot at getting her down.
Please help! I know she needs more sleep as when she is awake you can see she is tired and isn't 'happily awake'.
