My second bub (born prem) had colic and silent reflux and, yes, I can relate to how disempowering and upsetting this can be as you try everything you can think of to soothe them.... My daughter spent a long time in special care, and to settle her there the nurses were walking around with her in a baby bjorn carrier, and they also would use a baby hammock which helped settle her. I continued with these at home and they helped a little. She especially liked to be held close to me while she was uncomfortable. Hang in there! It DOES get better with time, although its hard to feel at the time that things will improve.

Sleep School is usually run out of a Mother-Baby Unit at hospital (I spent a week in a Mother-Baby unit with my first born and it was a magic and empowering week and was wonderful for helping us as a little family into better routines which allowed us all more sleep, happy times and better coping). I would get in touch with your local Mother-Baby units and get your name down ASAP as they often have long waits due to popular demand versus limited places. It also helps to have a health professional, like a Maternal Child Health Nurse, psychiatrist or other support person, put in a referral on your behalf.
