what is sleep??? :)

I know a little about sleep and I know it has to do with that big square thing you have in your bedroom. Its been so long I forgot the rest sorry. I really do feel for you but I don’t have the answer. When you find out please share. Its almost 19 months for me and mine still doesn’t sleep very well at night.

Since he slept so well after the Maalox, it sounds like he may be in pain from his reflux. Maybe try some Maalox before each feeding and seel if that helps until he has his endo and hopefully some answers and better meds.

BTW…most of us use Mylanta Cherry Supreme because it does not have aluminum. Did your doctor recommend Maalox?

Good luck. I know how hard it is. My first refluxer was never properly medicated and didn’t sleep for 9 long months. It was awful to say the least.

It’s so hard to tell. Myles was never a bad sleeper, just an early riser, but when something is bothering him (like teething or reflux) he cries, whines, or screams in bed. My daugher just woke frequently and moaned and groaned, or cried in a half asleep kind of way. She rarely screamed.

As for the aluminum in Maalox, supposedly if too much is used it can be bad for the baby, but most say you’d have to used an awful lot of it, so I wouldn’t be too worried. I use the Mylanta Cherry Supreme to be on the safe side.
