I need some advice on how to help my daughter sleep better.?

I've wrote in several times seeking sleeping advice for my 4 1/2 month old. She has been diagnosed with acid reflux so they put her on Prevacid twice a day and cereal in her bottles. After about a week of the cereal, I noticed that she didn't want to hardly eat anymore. She is seeing a specialist and they did a Gastric emptying test on her last week. This test discovered that her system is slow and they took her back off of cereal and gave her another medicine for this. Since she has started this new medication she acts like she did when she was first born, like she has a severe tummy ache and she can't sleep. I've been up all night with her for a week. She doesn't act like this during the day. The moral of the story is, what can I do to help her (and myself) sleep better at night?I need some advice on how to help my daughter sleep better.?
Are you trying to make her sleep lying down completely flat?I need some advice on how to help my daughter sleep better.?
ah........, stop giving that medication....., maybe thats the reason why she cant sleep at night...., try to consult another doctor fot her....,
I am sorry your daughter has gastric problems. None of my children slept well. My pediatrician had some helpful advice and I was able to get a few hours sleep here and there. I would advise you to consult your pediatrician on the phone first thing in the morning.





The good news is that it doesn't last for ever. Try to be kind to yourself and don't expect anything from yourself but to be gentle with your daughter and get through this difficult time.
have you talked to the doctor or pharmasist abput the problem it could be as simple as adjusting the dosage or i could be a more serious side effect
i know how you fill my son has the same problum but i found if i put him in his swing to sleep that seamd to help also i tok him off the medasin and put him on ar formula and also becuse if they are on the medasin for to long it can coze brain damage i read in to it
bath time with lavender baby stuff.


try putting her on her tummy on your chest and rubbing her back, sometimes i fall asleep too


and maybe some baby tea its kinda licorice flavored they have it in europe its like their grape water its worth a try
Use Aveeno calming body wash. It helps babies sleep. And if shes attached to you, keep something that smells like you like a t shirt or something next to her while she sleeps (that is, if you dont sleep near her).





For you -- sleep whenever you can until this passes. If she takes naps still, sleep while she sleeps. Do you have anyone to watch her to maybe help you out a little?
You can also let them sleep in a carrier or a car seat that is how i left my son sleep sometime when i just needed sleep i also would feed him that way so that he wouldn't throw up he had it very bad he was on all kinds of meds he actually losted weigh because of the dr's they told me that since he wasn't a premeire that he couldn't have it and it took two monthes of fighting with them to just preform the test for it them it took changing the formula a couple of times they make a formula that is made by enfamil called nutragien for colicy babies try it worked wonders for him we had to put three tablespoons of cereal in his bottle i would try it. it can't hurt nothing to try this i no what u are going through u can also take a warm cloth and lay across the belly and car rides do wonders to if u need anymore help u can im me at cheatrivercandle
