Hi there Sabs,  W2S isn't going to work for discomfort.  She'll keep waking until reflux is fully controlled.  Can you talk to your doc about putting her on a higher dosage of Prevacid?  It sounds like it's really time hon!
The tweaking never stops!

I hope you get some answers/help Sabs. It's so upsetting knowing your LO is in discomfort and not being able to help. =(
No idea what my LO's excuse is, he just keeps waking at night. Sometimes I feed him so maybe that's what he's looking for. I'm just hoping if I set a few limits on the number of time/timing of his night feeds he'll gradually start sleeping through on his own. Only now he's started waking at 5am and not wanting to go back to sleep, urgh. =/
In the daytime my more laid back approach seems to be working. It's totally non-BW, but that's the way it needs to be until DS1 is at school all day I think.

We got a 6am wake up. I think it was genuine hunger!  I should of fed her but since it being the third feeding, I thought it could not be hunger.

Last night she woke up three times. Both times it was b/c she rolled onto her back. First time was 11pm so I fed her. Second time was 3:30pm and fed her again, but she did not want to go back to sleep. She was looking around and playing with her teddy. It took me 1hr to settle her.  Third waking was 6am, so I picked her up and she slept on me until 7am.

Sounds like we had similar nights, except our first waking was 10pm (BF) and then again at 2:30 (BF) and he woke at 5 due to a poo (I think) and thought he was up for the day. Tried to resettle him to no avail, so I kept him in the dark bedroom until 6 with a combo of shh/pat and cuddles. Hoping he gets the hint that the day doesn't start at 5am. =/

Sorry you are having such a rough time Sabs. I am right there with you with at least 6 nws, sometimes a dozen. So hard to know how much is reflux and how much is them just wanting cuddles.

I too am not sure if it is true pain or just cuddles b/c as soon as I pick her up, she will fall asleep on my shoulder.  :-\

I have the same thing re. picking up and falling asleep, but definitely not all the time. Sometimes he definitely wants a feed, others I can tell it's gas/discomfort. I suspect they all come into play which is why they wake so often.
