Through our work with Alison, Sienna is now settled on 4 hourly feeds, actually enjoys her milk & naps well during the day. She doesn’t cry for hours at bedtime anymore and mostly sleeps through the night which has made a massive difference to our daily life and sanity! 😴 After my post last week lots of you have been messaging me saying that you are experiencing the same issues. I am not a reflux expert and every baby is different but a few of Alison’s tips from her book are - Babies only cry for reason so seek help if your baby is constantly crying. Getting a baby to feed comfortably or sleep easily, shouldn’t be that tricky - if it seems to be then there must be a reason. Read & research about reflux and record your baby’s behaviours so you can show it to your GP. Her book outlines the tell tale symptoms of reflux and also explains how to get your baby into a feeding and sleeping routine based on their age. One issue we really needed help with was that Sienna had become very reliant on her dummy and although she would settle well at bedtime with it, she would then wake up each time it fell out of her mouth. This meant we were constantly up and down most nights doing the ‘dummy-run’ which was simply exhausting! As soon as Sienna was more comfortable through us managing her reflux symptoms, she then became less reliant on her dummy and we were able to remove it completely - as Alison explained “the dummy often becomes more of a parental crutch and it’s often the fear of removing it that’s worse than actually doing it” Sienna is 5 months old the next stage is weaning and we have been advised, due to her reflux issues, that its ok to start now (government guidelines say 6 months). We are going to start with baby porridge and fruit and veg purees. I’m so excited to introduce her to lots of different flavours and hope she turns out to be a foodie like me! I am Loving being a mum more and more each day, Sienna has just learnt to roll and now her reflux is under control she is so much happier and truly blossoming!」9月30日 17時18分
