SPD?

MegM2012

Hi there just wondering what you baby/toddler was like in regards to sleep? Did they awaken frequently and need help to sleep? I had to hold my son the first 8 months and walk and bounce then sleep in recliner. Now at a year we cosleep and he wakes about every hour or less and needs to nurse to go back to sleep. We also have issues eating solids and barely eat any purees. Anyone else go through this and did speech therapy help? Not sure my son has SPD but it seems he has many signs. The feeding and sleep being the most stressful. Does it get better or easier?
