Hi sweetie, I'm just coming to post some ((((hugs)))) and to echo what the other ladies are telling you.
We're really trying to help -- but I'll tell you what we're seeing in the hopes that it makes some sense to you -- Sara, Bec, and I aren't baby experts or anything, but we've been around this forum for awhile and we've all had LOs of our own and helped lots of others with their LOs. I've had 2 babies that were pretty awful nappers, Bec had one with tummy issues from overactive let down/oversupply/foremilk overload who was chronically overtired at that age, Sara has had 2 refluxers now (she deserves a medal, I think...) -- and the reason that I tell you this, is that my babies that didn't nap well crashed hard at night (actually ds was a terrible night sleeper, but crashed hard during the day) -- Bec mentioned the same thing, and Sara mentioned her experience with her little guy -- given the right setting, they do crash because their bodies need sleep. I have a nephew who was/is a horrendous sleeper -- but he would crash and do a good 4-5 hours too.
My point is, I don't think I've ever seen a baby who wakes constantly day and night without there being some sort of discomfort.
We're not there with you, I know. We're not seeing what you're seeing and dealing with what you're dealing with (I think we all wish we were so we could give you a break, we all know how crazy hard it is to be so sleep deprived and not know how to fix things).
So, based on what we're reading, here's what we're saying:
1) She might have reflux. She has wet burps, she won't sleep flat, she's very unsettled. (I know we've linked this before, but just to put it all in one place:
Reflux 101 - General reflux information )
2) She might have a food allergy/intolerance -- again, she's unsettled, she sometimes spits up mucous -- keep in mind that food intolerances get worse as they get older and have continued exposure to foods that bother them. Here's some info on that:
Does my LO have food intolerances?3) She could be getting too much foremilk --
http://kellymom.com/bf/got-milk/supply-worries/fast-letdown/I think it's good that you're going to the doctor for her -- like the other ladies said, if nothing else, you will come away having ruled some things out. I would honestly do whatever you can to get some sleep into her, no matter what it is. Don't worry about what you "should" be doing right now in terms of routine, etc. I think Bec said -- bring very specific notes to you appointment on her eating, sleeping, etc habits -- point out how often she's waking, what she's doing when she's waking, wet burps, mucous in spit up, etc.
And most of all, biggest of ((((hugs))))). If you're up for it, I'd post on the PPD forum if you need some support.
