Still won't go down of an evening at 5 months :(. Are we alone?

[narmada]

Well, that's it really! DS is just 5 months and wants to be asleep from 7 pm, but wriggles and writhes in his sleep till 11 pm so it is pointless putting him down as we are up and down and up and down to him or even worse, he just completely wakes up, won't go back to sleep, is horribly overtired and cries all evening. He's got reflux and we thought he might have a cow's milk protein issue, but he's been treated for both and not much improvement TBH.

I really, really want my evenings back :(. Have a DD too of nearly 3 and so it's pretty much continuous childcare from 6.30 am till 11 pm and it is driving me and my DP a bit bonkers.

Are there many of us out there??!

Oh.... we have realised how severe DS's reflux is this weekend as he has basically stopped feeding and started doing these really wierd postures :( :( :(

He is going on a new medication this week so fingers crossed he will be in less discomfort after that and we can then do some work on self-settling.

Thanks for the advice everyone.

Hope the new meds work.

Thanks camper - I have high hopes!
