10 week old will only sleep on me, please help!

[Hensmummy]

Hi my 10 week old has silent reflux, he will only sleep on me being held upright, if I try and put him down in his Moses/cot he wakes up with minutes in pain, occasionally he will go 40 mins but that’s as long as he can go.

I’m home alone with him, so I literally have no choice but to sleep sat up with him on me. It absolutely terrifies me, I hate that I’m putting him at risk but I can’t not sleep and I can’t put him down. I dose off with him on me and in a position I feel is as safe as can be so he won’t fall but I hate it. I feel like his neck is never positioned straight enough. Because he always has to be positioned up right I feel like it’s impossible to keep him on a safe position it’s essentially like him sitting in a bouncer chair all the time.

I’ve tried wedging his bed up doesn’t help at all. He’s been on gaviscon which didn’t help, GP has only just agreed to put him on omperazole, which he has been on for 1 week with no improvement yet.

I’m so scared the omperazole wont work because I don’t think there is much else. I feel like I’m putting him in danger all the time but I don’t know what else to do?

Has anyone got any tips?

Thanks so much

Oh bless you this must be so hard.

Have you tried tilting the cot/Moses basket?

Is there anyone who can watch him in the day so you can get a few hours of proper sleep?

If Gaviscon isn't working the GP will need to prescribe something else, you can't carry on like this. Have a look at Rockabyereflux on Instagram. I've found her so helpful. If you could find the cause of the reflux it would help. I think the Tommee Tippee Prep Machine was the main cause of my babies reflux.
