Babies: 0 - 3 Months

Help with baby's sleep habits!

My baby girl is now 7 weeks old. At 5 weeks she was diagnosed with acid reflux and put on meds. I thought the meds would help with her being awake frequently at night but so far no luck. She wakes about every 2 hours at night. I think the longest stretch she has had was 4 hours but this is very rare. I'm getting so frustrated and exhausted. I feel like she should be sleeping longer. Any advice or similar stories?

  • I usually try to give her a pacifier but that usually gives me a half hour so I will feed her. I have her mattress elevated but maybe I need to elevate it more.

    Does she sleep swaddled?

    Also, how frequently does she eat during the day?

  • I do swaddle her when I put her in her crib. She eats every 2-3 hours during the day. Sometimes she could go longer but I try not to let her hoping it will cut down on nightly feedings.

    I figured it was her normal. Thank you ladies.
