Help! 15 month still not sleeping much

[Anonymous]

Hi, my name is Vicki and I am the mother of a 15 month old who has had reflux since birth. He currently takes 30 mg of Prevacid (with buffer babies)before bedtime. He still only sleeps about 5 1/2 – 6 hours at a time. He is a very restless sleeper who moans/groans/tosses and turns in his sleep. When he wakes up screaming, the only thing that seems to sooth him is drinking some milk. We’ve had him on Axid with the Prevacid but we got so confused by the timing that we discontinued it. Not sure if we need to add it back. He’s also been prescribed Carafate, but the same timing issue exists. I would love to hear any ideas, advice, opinions you can offer. I am so TIRED after 15 months that I can barely keep my eyes open.

Thank you!

sorry i dont have any advice about meds. i can offer some huggs. having been there before and currently starting all over again with baby no. 2 all i can say is every child is different. I think drinkingswollowing helps ease the acid so thats probably why milk helps.
