Oh yeah, how do you position the mattress up at an angle when the baby gets older? I put Owen’s down flat recently b/c he was ending upside down at the bottom of the bed and I figured that really wasn’t helping matters.
Tonite, DH and I put it back up at a little angle and then put rolled blankets around him at that newborn positioner thing so that maybe he will stay at more of an angle tonite?????
This is going to make me crazy!
Ugh, I’m sorry Erica!
I get so tired of all the ups and downs too. It seems like as soon as you get things figured out and things are going well something else happens. Bryce just recently went through something similar. He was putting his fingers down his throat, puking more, and not wanting to eat. It ended up being teething for him… one long 2+ month bout of it with a week long break in between. He’s finally doing better now. So anyway, I wouldn’t disregard teething yet. I sure hope you can get things figured out soon and back to a good-sleeping, happy Owen.Oh, and as for the elevated mattress… we use one of those Danny slings to keep Bryce in place. It’s worked really well for us. Sounds like you might have found a solution though.
Good grief, Erica, I swear I was just going to post almost the exact same thing!!!! We just finished Ben’s second antibiotic for the ear infections, and I think it has helped, but he is still so fussy! I hate to take him back to the doctor when he has to go on the 15th for his 9 mo. check up anyway. I feel like he has been so for FOREVER!!! And now, he has developed this cough that his waking him up at nights. I can’t tell if it’s reflux related or post nasal drip or drainage from his ears or what!!!
He also could be teething, as he has no teeth yet, and is certainly due.
But, through all this reflux nightmare, his nighttime sleep has been pretty consistent.. not anymore. He is also waking soon after we put him down at night, and was up last night 4 times.. I finally went in at 5:30.. and rocked him back to sleep.
He used to wake up happy from sleep both in the morning and at naps. This hasn’t happened in quite some time.
Anyway, I don’t have any solutions or answers, just some empathy. I’m right there with ya!
Sorry things are so hard.
I wouldn’t rule out teething either. Myles has been reflux free since 9 months, but he’d still stick his fingers in his mouth far enough to gag when he was cutting teeth, especially the molars. He was doing it again last week. He has those last four molars yet to come in.I hope things get better soon.
Why don’t these kids come with an instruction manual!!!! You can fix cars quicker than this!!! OK, on the serious side, sorry you are having such a hard time. I keep teeling myself this will all end one day (and then mums of older children tell me you just replace this with a whole heap of other isses. Same sh*te different day
