I second what Wendy said. Teething/colds/coughs make it worse and like starting all over again. But it generally really does get better. My son was teething throughout Jan (had 8 come through) and was so so poorly. But literally from Feb 1st (he was…
My son used to sleep in his bouncy chair or occasionally his car seat in order to be propped up. Spent loads of time in a sling attached to my front so he was upright and I could do stuff. Sorry it is so tough for you all. We thankfully seem to be o…
Yes sounds pretty similar to me. I have to admit that the only thing that kept anyone sane was to have my son in bed with us. I realise it isn't a great long term solution but for the first few months was completely invaluable. And he has moved to h…
My son suddenly got better at 15 months! Its like a whole new life when it happens isn't it? Last night he slept from 7 until 5.33 this morning!!! :-)
Glad your little girl is better.
Hopefully everyone will get there soon

I'd go back and get a referral. It sounds like she is what they call a "happy sicker". My son was the same in that thankfully he didn't have much pain with his reflux but he was so sick that he eventually did stop putting on weight. Never lost any b…
Hiya,
My son is dairy intolerant/allergic and is still kinda breast fed at 16months! I gave up dairy and it made a huge huge difference to him. I could tell if I had had it accidentally as he was horribly sick. I would perservere if you can. Its eas…
I'd personally go for less dinner more milk...
Milk has all the good stuff in it he needs and food is just experimental for him at that age. They don't really need 'proper' food until they are around one. I know that is a pretty unpopular opinion bu…
I don't personally agree that the doc or HV will know how much solids he needs. 7.5 months and having 7oz of milk on top of solids sounds a lot to me! My son was bf but at that age wasn't eating anything at all. He'd have a feed before bed and would…
Hi Christian
My son was exactly as you describe at night apart from he is breast fed rather than bottles. He'd do a few hours and then just wouldn't settle until he came in with me and even then would wriggle and cry and moan. Like you I wouldn't le…
Does the book just deal with little babies? My DS is 15 months and still completely awful at sleeping. I;ve left him to cry (is that what she suggests) and 3 hours and 10 mins later I had to give in because he showed no signs of stopping and was sic…
Yes yes and yes! You have described my son almost to a T. First thing - you are not a failure!! You have tried everything to help your little girl. She has a few issues but it isn't your fault by any means!!
My son essentially only started to eat a…
Yep if only people knew the quantity of sick they'd have a heart attack! My friend witnessed my son for the first time the other day and while I calmly caught it, let him finish and then cleared it up, she screamed at the top of her voice and just c…
My son was a sicker too. We just started domperidone which has made a great difference but I presume you have tried this? He is also dairy and soya intolerant so doesn't have any of that. He is ten times worse when teething or poorly. He is much bet…
Yes I tried it. Belinda Cranial is to do with the head but as everything in the body is linked, they gently manipulate areas of the head and the rest of the body to help calm down the tension from the reflux. Its all linked to the diaphram and they…
