Discouraged: 5 mo old wont sleep!
« on: November 06, 2012, 01:03:25 am »
My 5 month old son will NOT sleep at night! He still wakes every 2 to 3 hours. He was nursed exclusively for the first 3 months and is now on Similac Alimentum formula. He will drink no more than 4 to 4.5 ounces. He weighs 17.5 pounds. Last night he woke every hour and a half and drank anywhere from 1 to 4 ounces. What is wrong? What can I do? I'm ready to pull my hair out!

Hi there, a few questions if you don't mind?

Could you post your daytime routine for us? Does your LO have any medical issues e.g. Reflux?  What's your routine at bedtime and does he go to sleep independently (as in go down fully awake and settle himself with no help from you?) does he use a paci? What do you do when he wakes at night?

Hopefully we can help you once we have a bit more info :)
