Dd is 16 weeks. She has had one stretch of good sleep in the past 4 weeks, which was last night, she went from half ten till half 4, which was amazing. She is very refluxy and we gave her infant gavisgon before bed last night for the first time. We put the good sleep down to this so tonight we gave her the gavisgon as a dream feed at half ten as she fell asleep earlier than expected (9ish).
Since then she hasn't settled properly and it took several attempts to even get her in her cot without waking up. When She did finally go down she was awake again half an hour later sas she had wind. She incredibly difficult to put down at the best of times and only wants to sleep on me. Needless to say I'm exhausted and I'm struggling.
She's ebf so usually falls asleep on the boob but this usually means she's very difficult to wind. I'm now feeding her again as she was distressed and I don't know what else to do. I can sometimes get her sleep with rocking and singing to her but I've not go much energy left for that now. She sometimes settles in her chair with the music and vibrate on but she never stays asleep for long in it.
It's all going tits up at the moment, every decision I make to try and get her to sleep better seems to be wrong. I should have just left her sleeping instead of giving her the dream feed.
I'm supposed to be taking dd1 to school in the morning which is a 50 minute round trip in the car and I'm dreading it. I'm just too tired. Sorry this is so long and waffly, it's very late and I've been up since 4.30 am!
