Her DS was born 12 days ago. The birth was very traumatic for all involved, fast induction, he was trying to come out forhead first, with his hand up to his face and chin up, he got stuck, MUM and DS both got extremely high fevers and ended up having and Emergency C/S.

Since birth he has not been able to settle on his back, I have spent quite a bit of time helping with establishing breastfeeding and supporting them. The feeding is going well, and they are working through the cluster feeding in the evenings. It has actually been very rewarding helping them and great to see them develop a lovely breast feeding relationship

Generally when he settles it is either face down on the chest, or on his side, in hospital I tilted the cot and he settled better, we did the same when the got home.

But they are still having a lot fo trouble in the evenings (I think it may be "normal" )but my experience was quite different and all a bit fuzzy really As DD was like a newborn for 3 months

But a few questions....

How long did is take for your DD or DS to transition from the night time awake time to more daytime?

Because he won't settle on his back would it be likely that it could be reflux - he does spit out quite a bit?

Or could it be possible some neck problems do to the type of arrival, getting stuck and coming out on a weird angle?

If so would it be best to see a Paediatric Chiro or Physio?

Thankyou for reading if you have any way you can help me help my SIL it would be HUGELY appreciated!! TIA xxoo
