Hi All,

Just wanted some advice. My 7mth old DD has started waking at 1/2am in the morning and not re-settling until 4/5am( for the past 4 weeks). She is screaming, arching and doubling over ( this is when I am holding her !) She seems to be burping and throwing up slimy mucus ( to the point of her clothes being wet , so I need to change her).

Since birth, she has always had colic/ wind problems and we have tried ALL the colic remedies - infant friend seems to work now and than.....we also tried Mylanta but that does not seem to work. Some nights she is OK but every 2nd night she is waking. She is on 3 solid meals a day plus BF and LF formula. I have taken her to the doctors on numerous occasions but they seem reluctant to diagnose reflux ?

Can anyone help with this.....the lack of sleep and frustation of not being able to help my poor baby is getting to me :banghead:

She does not have any teeth yet....so don't know if that is the problem .

If she's waking our of a normal deep sleeping time and it's also out of character for her, then there must be a problem.

I'd be going back to the dr. or going to another dr. for some advice.

Could she be reacting to some new food you've introduced?

My son is nearly 6 months and has no teeth yet, so i don't know what signs you'd be looking for with teething. But it could be teething....have u tried bonjela? If this relieves it all then you've figured out the problem.
