Just dropping off some more (((hugs))), you sound like you're doing everything you can to help him.

Here's a link for potential food intolerances.

Does my LO have food intolerances?

[tiredandparanoidnewmama]

Thanks again. I did try elimination of all milk from my diet but it didn't help. His poops are pretty good... he goes every day with a good peanut butter consistency now that he is on solids. We even tried moving his crib to a more feng shui position and changing the side that he sleeps on to see if that breaks the pattern... but nothing. I am beginning to think there is really no solution or help for us.

Hugs hun, there is always a solution, it just takes time. Remember he had a tough start, and so did you with a baby that had so much to deal with.

I really think PU/PD is unlikely to work for him given the history with CC, reflux and never being an independent sleeper before. I think GW is the way to go. This will take time BUT it is progress and is better than doing nothing YK? It will work. But may take a month or more.

Have a read here....what do you think? - we can all help you through this, maybe make some small goals and hold your hand

Thank you so much, again. I am on the verge of tears that you are all so kind. I think this GW could work! I will make a plan of how we can gradually tackle this and get my husband on board. I really appreciate this as I hadn't heard of this method before. It gives me hope!! Thank you!!

[Erin M]

Yay for hope!  Keep posting back with questions, we can help you come up with a plan that will work for all of you!

So glad to hear that you have a plan! You WILL get there. When DD was younger I thought she was "unwhisperable" or something! Had the most horrible 3 hour wakings at night and 3 hour BT's. But thanks to BW we got a plan and stuck to it and we are doing SO much better. And so will you and your LO. Hang in there! Keeping notes of how all of our sleeps went helped me. I needed feedback to see the little things that were slowly getting better!

we also had a terrible time both my boys have awful reflux and my 3 mth old is also milk and soy intolerant with terrible wind and gas. These babies... Along with those that just struggle with sleep CAN learn to sleep independently without being left alone. We are all proof of that

Please do let us know if you have any more questions. Feel free to post your plan here, or use it as a support thread. I'm really glad you feel the GW can work....and it will

How are you doing?

[nevinsmama]

Hi, no pressure to reply as I am sure you are busy with your LO ( hopefully not AS tired but I know how it goes!) Just checking in to see how you are doing?
