shsh/pat 3 month old with reflux
« on: October 02, 2012, 17:22:07 pm »
okay here is the thing. I have a three month old LO she has reflux. She currently sleeps pretty well swaddled in a nap nanny. Yes this is in her crib ik its not supposed to be but she cant roll over or sit up so currently im okay with it. Well, I started the shush pat last night went okay. Its the naps that are the problem. I am used to bouncing her on the exercise ball in my arms or in my moby wrap. I am going to grad school tuesday thursday night and my husband and family babysitting can't get her to nap or sleep very well she just screams. So I am starting the shush pat during the day. However, i also have a toddler that just screams at me bc im not in the other room with her too. Once i finally get her to sleep she sleeps for max twenty min an then screams again then it all starts again. She is exhaused. Should i continue doing what im doing or change something? HELP is so frustrating!!

Hugs,
Is your LO on meds for the reflux?
Does she take a paci?
You could try and see if she will nap in the moby while out with your son, really while there is pain you can't sleep train. I did used to pat Zs bottom when apoping him to sleep so when he was a bit tester I could move towards shy/pat and transition him to the cot. Will she sleep in the car?

Hugs its so hard x

It sounds like the reflux is still not controlled. Do you feel the meds have helped so far? What is she on and what is her weight and dose?

HUGS, it does get easier over time, it's so tough though when your in the thick of it. Can anyone come help to give you a break? :-*
