Hi Rhonel
My name is Kathryn and I have the most gorgeous daughter called Hannah
Hannah will be 6 months on the 12th of September
I have had a really tough time with Hannah from the day she came home - she screamed and screamed and hardly slept and her weight gain wasn't great
We went to 3 Paeds and three Chiro's!!!! After 3.5months I landed up at Paul Sinclair a paed at Vincent Pallotti who said she had a protein allergy he put her on a specialised formula and she was like a new child so much happier etc we were in so many bad habits by then rocking bouncing on balls just anything to try to get her to sleep and stop screaming
With the not wanting to sleep at night he suggested giving her melatonin n her last bottle to help settle her...she still would always go to sleep being patted bounced rocked etc or drinking a bottle
I have been Kath Megraw the paed dietician to get her onto solids and so far things are going well
Problem is she hardly sleeps during the day - never sleeps past 45 minutes
She doesn't want her bottles during the day - hardly drinks has two if that
At night she will have 3 to 4 bottles...
I give her solids at 5 then a bath at 5:30 and then I try to put her to sleep - she cant go to sleep by herself - I used to bounce her on a pezzi ball and that seemed to work - now when she sees the ball she screams and fights me if I put her in her cot she screams so we are now putting her in a pram to get her to sleep
She went down at 7pm last night then was awake at 8:30pm for a bottle then 12 for another bottle then 3:30am for another then 4:30am she was wide awake managed to get her to sleep at 5:30am till 6:15
Basically most nights are - down at 7pm awake at 9pm for bottle 11pm for bottle then 4ish but doesn't want to go back to sleep
I started work on Monday and I am finding it tough to keep me eyes open...
I am not sure what you suggest? Or how your programme works?
I am very worried to start sleep training letting her cry etc and no bottles at night as she really didn't put on a lot of weight in the beginning
Many thanks
Kathryn |
