Help needed please!

Hi Ladies

It just feels like one thing after another at the moment!!

My LO hasn't been sleeping very well at all for the past month i thought it was due to teething but she wakes up numerous times during the night screaming and i mean screaming really hard to settle again.

Last week i started to look into other reasons for this as i have aslo realised when she wakes up screaming she draws her knees up to her chest - tummy ache / pain ???

I kept a food and sleep diary last week and the only thing i can see is dairy products may make it worse as some days i gave her them and others i didn't.

Can anyone shed any light on whether dairy products caould cause her to wake with tummy ache

Thanks

Cazz (one very tired mummy!!)

  • I think dairy could be a trigger, as i've always found this for myself, so it could be the same for babies? Poor tired mummies! Have sympathy too, am trying to figure out a way to cut out our night feeds. xxx
  • really hope it gets better soon x
    i think dairy intolerance can cause a "gripey" tummy for some people so it is possible that this is the problem. maybe take food diary to HV and ask advise on cutting out dairy again completely for a while to see if situation improves and then reintroducing one thing at a time and monitoring reaction.
    good luck with it hon xxx
