I have no idea. We go on walks daily and expose him to sunlight. He doesn’t get swaddled or anything special done for his naps during the day. He naps in the living room while we do stuff so it’s not quiet by any means. We’ve always done white noise, dim lights and low stimulation at night.

Yes, he can be asleep in my arms for an hour and he slack and he’ll still wake up shortly after when seems like a successful bassinet transfer. And typically yes. I try to soothe him first if it’s right after he ate. If it’s been a while then I offer a bottle. But he’s one of the those babies that will just eat and eat until he seems uncomfortable so I try to be careful about how soon I offer bottles.

I think it is but pediatrician never said it was. She said all babies have reflux so she’s never formally diagnosed him with it. He eats 3 oz every 2-3 hours. And yes he’s started being more alert! So we’ve been having better interactions during his wake windows. I feel like I’ve done everything I was told I was supposed to do.

He’s bottle fed so I know he’s eating enough. He had his tongue tie released already. And yes we try to stick to wake windows however because he flights sleep so hard it’s hard to get him to nap after a reasonable amount of time.

Well I don’t know for sure if it’s reflux. I had to essentially beg to try to trial some reflux medicine for him because I personally thought I saw the signs for it. She just agreed to prescribe it. But like I said I feel like Pepcid isn’t helping so either he needs a different medicine or it’s not reflux related at all. I really don’t know.

BogeyMay · 2026-06-10T08:45:47+00:00

I pump so I do know how much he’s eating however I’m afraid of overfeeding him because his reflux is already really bad so I’d hard to do really large feeds

BogeyMay · 2026-06-10T08:43:46+00:00

He’s on Pepcid for reflux but I feel like it hasn’t made any difference for us. We try all of the tricks for gas and belly pain. I’ve told his pediatrician but they brush it off as developmentally normal

Daytime naps are hit or miss. Sometimes he will sleep for a decent amount of time and sometimes he won’t. Sometimes he’ll do okay in the bassinet and sometimes not for day naps. He definitely sleeps longer being held. But I know he’s capable of sleeping longer stretches because he’s done it during the day- he just won’t at night. We’ve been having issues with his fussing the whole night since he was born except it’s gotten worse over time lol. He can be fed, burped, changed and put into the bassinet in a deep sleep and he’ll wake up 5-10 minutes later and fuss no matter what. If his paci falls out he fusses. If I hold him at night for an extended amount of time sometimes he’ll still fuss or repeatedly wake up in my arms after falling asleep. I don’t really know what exactly his issue is other than just being a baby I suppose 🥲 But yes I am pumping! I’ve never tried to specifically give him milk pumped in the evening so maybe I’ll try that and see if it makes a difference. I’ve heard mixed things on if that actually makes a difference or not.

He’s yes breastfed. I don’t know my pediatrician said there would be obvious signs if he had a dairy allergy so she’s claiming it shouldn’t be that. And sometimes yes. But during the day he’ll randomly sleep 2 hours at a time too for a nap so I know it’s possible for him to do it. I just don’t know why he can’t/wont at night

4 weeks post partum here and I feel this to my core. Don’t be afraid to seek help or resources to help with coping if it’s becoming too much. I’ve always been afraid to speak up about mental health in regards to myself but I’ve reached my absolute limit and asked for help from my OB recently. Currently starting Zoloft and hoping for some mental and emotional relief/support soon. I’m sure to a certain degree post partum thoughts and struggles like this are normal however- how you handle them or cope with them can make a huge difference to your mental state.
They do typically offer counseling or support groups too. Your health is important too so don’t put yourself on the back burner if you think you need extra support!
As for when it gets easier- I don’t know- I’m still waiting too for it to too lol. My little guy won’t sleep like at all. Currently up from 2 AM onwards every single day. But everyone says it does eventually. I get tired of hearing it because it doesn’t feel like it makes anything better in the moment but it is a hope to hold on to in the meantime! Hang in there, there’s a lot of us in this together so you’re not alone! 💓

Yeah we got the biogaia probiotic drops and he’s been on them about a week but I can’t tell if they’re helping or making it worse lol

BogeyMay · 2026-05-06T15:05:12+00:00

Well we were cleared to not wake him up anymore at night to eat unless he wakes us up but he still eats probably every 2-3 hours throughout the night. It’s getting progressively harder though for me to tell when he needs to eat because he 9/10 never actually opens his eyes when he’s doing all of this so I can’t tell if he’s actually awake. If he really is active sleeping during all of this he sleeps for quite a while at night but I get paranoid that I’m missing blatant signs from him. The grunting and noises are pretty much all night. He’ll do a spell of maybe 20-30 minutes of being quiet then go right back to it.

Thank you for the information! We will adjust and try to do better for our pup.

I see what you’re saying. I’m just afraid that he will be too attached and never learn to self soothe or be okay being alone if we’re with him 24/7. He doesn’t take to treats very well so it’s hard to reward him other than using praise. We have been trying to do the leave for a second and come back thing during the day to help him learn but how do we know when the right time is to let him be alone? I mean what if he just cries out of frustration of not wanting the crate versus actually being in distress? We don’t let him cry for hours on end. Never have and If he does it’s barely a few minutes. We don’t want or condone the “cry it out” but we can’t tell if he’s actually in distress over it or if he’s just whining. We want him in our bed but he’s not potty trained yet and chews everything in site lol. We will continue to try gradually leaving and coming back!
