OK – just got back from getting DD down. Turns out DH wasn’t even trying to put her down, she would just start crying, then would settle, then would start crying again. When she cried she wasn’t instantly consolable, and we get the back arching and bad breath etc. etc. We’ve recently scaled back her Zantac dosage (as we think it gives her wind) and at the same time she has had a little growth spurt – DH thinks she has reflux again. We have another RCH appointment next Tuesday which is timely, but guess its back to full Zantac dose.

Thanks for your comments – nice to know we aren’t alone, but so sorry to hear all your stories, I have no idea some days how I make it through, so know how you are feeling / felt. I don’t mind her waking, just not every 30 min, give me a few hours break.

I’m going to try what Christy suggested about the whole getting her into bed without rocking, thanks for that. I don’t mind it talking months, just want a plan of action with a time frame, so big thank you!!!! That is just terrible about the milk how do you cope, guess I shouldn't complain too much.
