Hj, Wish I had some answers for you. My DS was the same, it seemed like he was always screaming/crying and not matter how hard we tried to get him to bring up wind or 'froggie' it out he just wouldn't. We tried Marina's Mixture after BIL told us about it, and finally he was bringing up wind (or farting lol) It is a natural product, the label says it helps with wind,colic and reflux.

He was a terrible sleeper too. We wouldn't get anymore than 2 hours at a time, day or night. If he fell asleep, he would wake once we put him down, then we would take another couple of hours to get him down again. He seemed to like noise too, so we ended up purchasing a 'sleep sheep' - mimics the sound of a heartbeat, plus has ocean sounds, whale sounds and i think the last one is rain?

Before the sleep sheep, we bought a Amby Baby hammock, which sadly he didn't like, and still doesn't. I can now lay him in it for about 10 minutes with a toy attached while i do a quick pick up of rubbish etc, then he starts to get cranky. If he is asleep, he wakes as soon as I lay him down in it.

One night we gave him a bath, then a masage and he slept for about 3 hours i think. the next night we did the same, and he slept for about half that lol! what works one night, doesn't necessarily work the next for us.

My DH went back to work around the 4 week mark too, and his first shift back was a night one! I'm very lucky that when DH gets home from nightshift, he will stay up for a little bit and cuddle DS, even if it is for me to have a shower and feel a little human again.

Ds is no 4 and a half months, and last week I started sleeping him on his belly of a nighttime, from the time he goes to bed (which is whenever he is ready) I was previously putting him on his tummy around 5am when he woke then. Our paed wanted him sleeping on his belly for his daytime naps, and when we did, we found he slept soo much better.... 6 hours the first time we did it

DH would come home from work some days and I would just cry about how I felt like a bad mum, because I was wishing he would just shut up! DH would remind me that I was his (DS's) whole world, and it was a pretty scarey place to be after being inside for 9 months. He is so supportive, which sounds like your DH is too so glad to hear that.

DS still wakes 2-3 times a night, which is soo much better than every 2 hours. We even went through a period for 2 weeks where he woke every half hour... I spent those 2 weeks walking around looking like this---> PMSL.

I hope your DD starts to settle soon, and you get some much deserved rest..thinking of you
