I am just curious as to how other reflux babies sleep.
Ds (12mo) is a horriable sleeper. He wakes up constantly though out the night and doesn’t nap well either. It takes a lot of time, between 20-90 min. just to get him down and then he just wakes up shortly after. He wakes crying in pain, tossing and turning, flipping and rolling all night. It’s like he just can’t get comfortable. We co-sleep and he is usually on a incline (if he doesn’t roll off). We are all exhausted and sleep deprived.

Does this sound pretty typical of reflux babies?

TIA!

yep 🙂 . very typical. my son is 2 now.. but i remember when he was younger i was CONSTANTLY posting about his sleep habits. He would only take 30 min. naps.. no matter how tired he was. And would toss and turn the ENTIRE night! And wake often for what i thought was a bottle.. but it was probably because he was so uncomfortable! I think he still does toss and turn a lot.. but he doesnt cry.. or wake fully up.. so i have learned to just let it be.

Yeah, that definitely sounds like my daughter’s restless sleep before she was properly treated with a PPI drug!! HUGS!

Cooper slept like that at night (luckily naps for us were pretty good) until he was about 14 months old. At 16 months when we were off meds I did sleep training and now he puts himself to sleep and rarely truly wakes up at night. He still tosses some, but I think that is just a “baby”thing. But I agree that our sleep was horrific until we were on a good dose of meds. it got better at that point, but not great until his reflux was gone.

Teagan is on Prevacid and it works all night long for her. We just got her into her crib (laying flat) and she sleeps 7pm-6am most nights. Better living through pharmacology!!!!
