For the last 5 weeks my 6 mo has been sleeping really badly. She used to sleep for 12 hours and now barely sleeps at all! When i put her down she goes for a while, could be an hour or could be five minutes and then starts making uncomfy noises a bit like she's straining or something. I think she is pretty much asleep but if i leave her the noises get louder and become a full on cry. If i pick her up she is immediately asleep and calm but as soon as i put her down the noises start again.
We asked the hv and took her to the doctor as we wondered if it was something stomach related (she wasn't pooing very regularly). They suggested some fruit to clear her through which we've done but she's still making the noises.
We're off back to the doctor on Monday as i feel i can't cope with the lack of sleep and feel horrid as she must be uncomfy but wondered if anyone had any ideas? It seemed that calpol worked as she slept for a few hours with it but not tonight :-(
