Things seem to have gone backwards. We had the four days of once a night which was wonderful and now we are back to every few hours every night. We've even tried a EBM bottle before bed in case my supply was low (since DH was giving her bottles before bed while I was gone). She isn't being rocked to sleep at all. But now NW are even taking longer and longer to settle. Days are good. Though can get hard for at least one of her naps as I have the preschool run for my son that hits during one of her naps no matter what. I'm just at a loss. DH was going to take over at nights to see if we can get back on track with him just feeding her a bottle but I worry bout my supply. And here I am nursing at 9:30 after 5oz bottle at 6:30. She's eating a lot too so idk.

Is she eating many solids?

I think your supply would be ok if DH gave her a bottle for a few nights. Is she crying or playing during the long NWs?

She is crying. And crying and crying and crying. I'm sure she's uncomfortable but I don't even know how to help her. Even nursing her to sleep doesn't work well. She's still so upset. I use gripe water. We did Advil last night which seemed to help the first part of the night. But then it went downhill. Nothing DH or I did including apop just to get some sleep. Today we raised her bed better and so we shall see.
Solids. She gets 1-2 meals a day. Never a ton. And I only do breakfast and lunch to give her time to digest in case of tummy issues before bed. I've been bad about two meals as life is crazy with the other two.

Sorry for not replying sooner. I haven't been on much. Huge hugs for the tough nights. It does sound like discomfort. I would keep apoping if you can just to get some sleep. Have you posted on the reflux board?

I just wanted to let you know you're not alone.
I could have written your post. Everything is the same with my DD. We even had a few good nights and then back to the hourly wakings. My DD is not interested in solids though.
I'm living in a delirious state. I'll be following your post to try and get some ideas.

Hi Cluckylollie! This post is a bit old. You are more than welcome to start your own post - we'd be more than happy to help you out.

Hugs to you as well as I'm not making any progress. It seems that at least 2 NW with an hour long party around 2 am is the story here. I'm at a loss of what to do next.
