last night, we got about 2 hours of sleep. That has become the norm. The boys wake up all night long. They wake up the most starting 2 hours after their middle of the night bottle, and then every half hour after that. They were up for good in their cribs at 5 (which has also become the norm). They are doing awful for their naps now too – and they skip naps now. We are so at the end of our rope. Last night, we had tried giving them more prevacid – for a total of 27mg for the day. We thought maybe this could help. We had the worst night so far (I swear medicines keep my boys up) so I don’t know if I should stick with it. The doctor doesn’t help me. They say it can be their sleep cycle, they are gaining so they are fine….. I am going to call my pedi about a new GI today, but I feel like no help is in sight.

Just a thought, could they be teething. I know my son is and if we don’t give him ibuprofen we have a rough night. Maybe you could give them some ibuprofen just to rule that out? I sure hope they get better soon…..sleep deprivation makes everything so much worse.

I’m so sorry to hear they’re not sleeping! Do they sleep soundly before theire middle of the night bottle? Makes me wonder if the night feeding is aggravating the reflux. Are they elevated at all? Hang in there. I know how awful it is when they don’t sleep (though I only have one).

Max has been waking up every hour. WE gave them each mylanta with their first wakeup at 9. We didn’t hear from Jack again until 3. Max one hour after the mylanta.
