Kellyjs - LO was 9 months old last week. The 3 hour first A time seems to suit him in the morning, probably as he is so tired from the rubbish night. I've tried increasing the A time between the morning and afternoon naps to see if that helps with the afternoon nap and it doesn't. His afternoon nap has been rubbish since the week before Christmas and I'm thinking I might do some sleep training with starting this weekend to see if we can get a better nap back for him. Wdyt?
Ali - thanks for reading through 4 pages of posts and your thoughts, it was very helpful. I will read up in wi/wo and am certainly open to trying that. I do think you could be right and that the NWs are caused by discomfort, and his reflux. I have a follow up paed appointment, from the time LO was poorly before Xmas and I saw that paed that was patronising, booked for 2 weeks time. I was going to cancel because I am expecting I will get the same rubbish about LO being on reflux meds and sleep training, but you have made me think that I should keep the appointment because if I am giving the sleep training my best shot and it changes something there could be an underlying medical reason for it all we need to get to the bottom of. Hopefully not!! We have tried omeprazole for his reflux which gave him wind, but I decided not to try Gaviscon and Domperidone but perhaps that needs reconsidering. He had awful colic until he was 5 months old and would literally scream for 3 hours every evening and I've read that babies with bad colic often have sleep issues even after the colic has gone.
