Ok, i really need some help now, i thought things would start settling down by now, but they have not.
Noah is 10 weeks and 1 day old.
I think his reflux is under control, so i can not really blame that any more. He does not seem to be in any real pain.
His day time naps are all over the place, I aim to feed him for the day between 6 and 7 am. Due to the fact that he has been so restless from about 4 am onward he seems so overtired after this bottle. So I think the longer I keep him up - aiming for a good hour, the worse he gets. I put him down, after a few dummy plugs and his mobile on, he settles down and has a 45 min nap, after this time, i go in and give him the dummy, reset the mobile, he sleeps for another 10 mins, doing this on and off about 3 times. I get him up, play, put in bouncer etc, until his next feed is due - 3 hourly. Once again he is so tired after this bottle, that I do the exact same thing as above, getting progressively harder to settle as the day continues.
6pm bottle - very tired struggle to get much into him.
6.30pm bath
7pm bed settles instantly, sleeps through his dream feed at 10pm
Wakes approx 2.30am, give him the dummy, next wakes at 3.30am, where I feed him.
Wakes every hour after this for the dummy and it all starts again.
Before you mention the dummy, there are smokers in the household. Obviously just smoke outside.
I have a 4 and 2.5 year old running around which increased the difficulty.
Is being overtired the problem?
HELP!!!
Thanks Anthea
