Since I last posted things have massively gone downhill. Night time has been awful last two nights with LO waking every hour or less, struggling to settle and when he does settle often waking crying after 10mins. He has been so hard to settle that I've been breastfeeding back to sleep both at night and for naps yesterday and today as the crying was that bad he was having awful reflux and almost choking
I think he has a cold but it appears to be very minor and certainly isn't bothering him in the day when he is up so its a bit puzzling - you wouldn't think anything was wrong with him then, these top teeth aren't through still and are just below the gum so I expect that's not helping the reflux.
I've being giving him calpol before nap and at bedtimes but it seems to be having no effect. Going with ibuprofen tonight to see if that helps him.
This is rubbish - it's one step forwards twenty back again. On Friday I had been feeling so pleased we had made such great progress with the naps and not breastfeeding so much at night and when we are through this latest blip I'm going to have to start all over....
