To go and punch my DH?

[judybloomno5]

Slightly tongue in cheek.

12 week old screaming with colick for 90 mins. Inconsolable. DH sleeps in the spare room on week nights. How can he sleep through this? She's even woken our 2 year old up. I want to go in and punch him awake.

Jealous as he's got a 60 minute journey tomorrow when he can listen to the radio and get a drive be thru Costa if he wanted. When did my life come to this?

We got an Angel Care movement monitor once he started sleeping on his front. If they don't breathe for more than fifteen seconds, it beeps loudly once, then it goes mad five seconds later if the baby still isn't moving/breathing. It made me feel a lot more relaxed about the front-sleeping.

Starling - we had similar. My DS was a little wriggler though and slowly wiggled down/up/sideways around the cot until he was completely off the under mattress sensor pad. After the eleventy millionth heart attack in the middle of the night alarm wake ups we decided he was old enough not to need it

Agree about silent reflux and particular eggy's post. My GP hasn't heard of the silent type (I.e no vomiting) so I had to be quite forthright about it. Also the guidelines my GP wanted to follow say to trial Gaviscon first before ranitidine. However, Gaviscon quite difficult to give to EBF baby so we went straight to ranitidine which works brilliantly for my baby.

Good luck.

This is v interesting, I always wondered why people used to put babies on their fronts (before it was decided that it was a bad thing...). Hadn't realised it helped with tummy ache etc :-).

YANBU. I once held my screaming reflux baby right next to my sleeping husband's ear. Still didn't wake him up. Eggy's post is spot on. Avoid infant Gaviscon if you can.

Teenage, we found the same thing once he got a bit bigger! After the millionth false alarm, we stopped using it just after he turned 1. The bloody thing never woke him, either!
