DS has got silent reflux and we have tried Infant Gaviscon and he is now on Zantac but we are having HUGE daytime sleep problems and I am pretty sure it is caused by the reflux.
We are able to get him to sleep by being rocked, but when we put him down he wakes up crying anywhere from 5- 40 mins after he is put down. I have tried settling him in his bassinette/ pram but he still doesnt stay asleep, he wakes up making a throat clearning sound or kicking his arms or legs, or crying and once he is awake we have to go through the whole settling process again.
Essentially for him to have a 2 hour nap I am having to resettle him between 5- 8 times.
I have also noticed that about an hour to an hour and a half after his bottle he is waking up in pain and really crying (tears and everything)
I am thinking that the Zantac is not strong enough (we are going back to the Dr. on Thurs), but wondering if there is anything we can do to get him to sleep longer during the day (he does 1 6 hour stint at night, then usually does another restless 3 hours after that).
