Well she finally had a feed at 11. Looked like she might go to sleep too, her eyes were so red. But no, she came off, smiled at me and then started crying. I got her up to burp her and she vomited a little, and then a bit more about half an hour later. She has been vomiting a bit more lately and considering she really prefers to be upright I thought of reflux, but dismissed it because of her age. Would it be normal for it to start now? She hasn't shown symptoms of it before.

I can't take her to bed with me - that use to be a fix for everything - because lying down is just no good for her, she doesn't like it anymore. I've been pretty good at staying calm too, until last night. Before then I wasn't really stressed so she wouldn't have been picking up on that. She'd fuss straight away, before I even had a chance to get stressed.

I've also thought of teething - she's constantly putting her fists in her mouth, and will try to put toys in her mouth (except for teethers). She's very dribbly and gets red cheeks. That and the whole '4 month growth spurt & sleep regression'. But it's been going on for a while and she's not 4 months yet. If that happens too, what kind of sleep has she got to regress to??

She finally just fallen asleep. After crying in my arms she finally put her head on my chest and fell asleep. It just breaks my heart that she's crying like this and I can't fix it for her I've put her in her cot because my arms are killing me and she can't sleep in the sling, so I'm just hoping she stays there a while. I think the only reason she slept so long yesterday, and if she does sleep today, is because she's just so exhausted and the crying takes it out of her.

What is the earliest she can get her four-month vaccinations? She's four months on the 16th, and seeing as I have to go to the Dr for that anyway, I'd like to get her checked over. But don't want to get her vaccinations too early either.

Thanks so much for your replies. It's nice to just have somewhere to let it all out, to people who have been there before and know what we're going through.
