DD2 has been crying and upset unless I'm holding her for a few days. She is also not sleeping well at all.
She is 6mo, ebf until last week. Has reflux and is on ranitidine. I was doing a total elimination diet but that didn't seem to help so stopped it. Started weaning (blw) last week as she passed the banana test. We just stick her in her highchair with some steamed veggies and she grabs and gobbles them. Also do some loaded spoons of yogurt, which she loves.
For the last few days she has been really upset. She has a cold and a first tooth, but she is also not feeding or sleeping well. She seems uncomfortable a lot of the time. I just don't know what the problem is or how to fix it.
It could be:
a) a cold which she's had for about 6 weeks on and off
b) teething - first tooth arrived yesterday
c) reflux
d) food intollerances/allergies
e) lack of sleep - feeds 3 times a night (30-45mins awake each time) and was up for 2+ hours during the night
f) lack of routine - morning and evening are ok but we do different things ach day so no routine during the day.
Any ideas where I start? I'm tired and don't cope well with tears - hers or mine. I feel like the whole family is being held ransom due to my lack of sleep. I'm just angry all the time so life is not fun.
