[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Normal. Yours might be a bad sleeper at this age and it’s just luck of the draw. How are the naps? Sometimes better day naps help.[/quote]
Terrible. Will only contact nap being held upright.[/quote]

I’m the permanent crappy sleeper pp. OP get your baby to a GI doc and on a trial of reflux meds if they feel is appropriate. Sounds like it could be silent reflux. If no improvement in 2 weeks on meds, that’s not it. [/quote]

I completely agree with this. Your baby's insistence on sleeping/being held upright and waking up multiple times overnight is a tell. I went through this with my firstborn, and his pediatrician ignored me when I twice brought up that I thought he might have reflux, because he didn't projectile vomit (or maybe she thought that I, as a first time mom, had nothing to measure poor sleep against. My son was waking up 10+ times overnight, and would wake up within a few minutes each time he was placed on his back to sleep, and I knew there was something wrong...) She refused to prescribe pepcid. I almost went crazy for lack of sleep. My third baby showed similar signs of having reflux; we chose a new pediatrician, I brought up my concerns and all but demanded he be given a prescription for pepcid (famotidine), and it has made all the difference in the world.

That said, I do just want to repeat what other posters have said. Some babies naturally sleep better than others. Some babies just are not good sleepers. I tried SO hard with my firstborn to do everything "right" to get a good sleeper, but at the end of the day, sometimes it's just not something in your control. [/quote]
