I was just wondering whether anyone else was dealing with this or thought it may be related to reflux. My 6 month old son (who has reflux, which seems to be mostly under control with Axid) used to sleep great at night. We rock him to sleep after a bedtime routine. He would sleep in his crib from about 7PM to 6AM without waking. So I know he does not need to eat at night. But lately, after we put him down (when he is totally asleep), he will wake up 2-6 times in the first 2 hours or so. Then he usually sleeps through the night, maybe with one quick waking where he just needs his pacifier. These early wakings may be no big deal, where he just needs his pacifier. Or sometimes he gets really upset and needs to be picked up again.
Anyway, I am trying to figure out whether to do sleep training (I was thinking of using the Sleep Lady’s book). I am not sure whether this would be a bad idea for a baby with reflux, even if it is under control? I know it still bothers him a bit, and I am afraid I won’t know whether he is in pain or just overtired because he gets really hysterical when he is tired. I was also just wondering whether anyone else was dealing with those early wakings and whether reflux could be to blame?
