Hugs hun, just catching up here.

Dropping night feeds is tough for the first couple days but gets easier as you go. I did shush pat as I've never had much success with pu/pd as reflux and it don't work well.together.

I'm wondering of there is another med you can trial. There are different types of Meds and they do  things differently and some are pretty effective. They do however take some time to take effect sometimes. If you're still getting the nw's after dropping the nf's and the behaviour suggests discomfort to you (from what I'm reading I can't say that I believe 100% that there isn't discomfort),  I would get hack to the Dr to see if something else may work of reflux is an issue.

thanks vicki.  thats what i'm thinking to.  its such a long process as we are working through other stuff at the moment so i don't waant to add dropping the night feed as well.  i think that mioght be to much for her.  i have started her on set naps and i think she is finding that hard so i don't want to be mean and add the another disruption to her day/night.
