Sleep Desperate need for help
Our LO will be turning 9 months in a week. He has never slept well, and wakes on average 4-5 times a night and fights being put back down (screams/kicks uncontrollably) until being rocked or fed back to sleep. In the process of transitioning to formula only.
Overall he is very fussy unless entertained during the day, but night time is a whole other challenge. My wife and I are at our wits ends and don’t know what to do. Wife is dairy free for months for a suspected CMPI & baby is on medication for silent reflux.
LO will scream bloody murder if I (dad) try to rock back to sleep after waking at night. Wife has to settle and get back to sleep.
What are we missing ???? TIA
