Sleep deprivation from Cmpa and silent reflux

[LCOULL]

Hi everyone, my 12 week old has a cows milk protein allergy along with silent reflux, he's on sma alfamino milk and omeprezol for the reflux. He's generally a happy wee baby but does not sleep a wink. He's gone back down to only taking 3 or 4 oz from his bottles, his napping through the day can be 30-40 minutes which I can deal with but his night sleeping is absolutely horrific as soon as I lay him down for bed he might fall in to a light sleep and his arms and legs start flapping around and also grunting literally all night long going from awake to slightly asleep all night. He cannot and never has been able to fall in to a deep sleep, tried absolutely everything.

No one is getting any sleep and it's slowly driving me and my husband demented, please help! X

My baby didn't have reflux but at this age was grunting and appeared in a very light sleep. She appeared to get the rest she needed but us on the other hand... coukd you try taking it in turns sleeping in spare room / sofa so you get a chance to sleep? My partner also loved the white noise toys more than the baby did as it helped him zone out of every noise the baby made (whilst maintaining safe room sharing)

The only blessing with my refluxy babies were that they slept through very early on. Probably because they were so bloody exhausted.

I don't really know what to suggest. My DC had dummies. The cot was always at an angle. DS1 I would cuddle to sleep until he was sound asleep, so was being kept upright for ages after a feed. DS2 liked being swaddled and white noise on.

I also put DS1 into his own room at 11 weeks. He slept through at that point.
