My non Gerdling Aaron slept through the night from 5 weeks. Maya is doing a lot better on the high calorie milk based formula and is having about 20oz over 7 feeds a day including the night which is tiring. I am working towards a long term goal of increasing the volume at each feed and hopefully eliminating night feeding as solids come on line as well. What age did your gerdling start sleeping through the night?

Sarah

11 months and counting. In other words, it hasn't happened yet. My son was also a refluxer, and he started sleeping through the night at about 5 months.

Parker started sleeping 8 hours at 8 months, but goes to bed at six so he was still waking me in the night. I am glad to say that at 15 months he is now sleeping through most nights- but waking at 5 or 6am- but thats 11 hours so I think I am blessesd.

I'm with Lesley...after 13 months, we're still waiting for it to happen. Bethany's reflux seems to worsen at night, despite the precautions we're taking (raised mattress, Zantac before bed, etc.). I have a feeling we'll still be getting up with her when she's a teenager! :-D :shock:

My non-GERDling slept through at about 6 weeks. Evan slept through a lot sooner at first, but since he was losing weight, we had to start waking him every 3 hours again. The next time he was finally well enough to sleep through regularly was after his second birthday. Yup... 2 years.

Since Aidin is a *snacker* due to her silent reflux, we are up every 2-3 hours from midnight until 7am and then she wants to eat every 2 hours or so (2-4oz).

I have heard to try and let her go longer without eating or do the CIO method, but as we all know with refluxers that always just turns into puking when super upset and causing the reflux to raise its ugly head.

I too am hoping by the time she is 16 we will once again have a full nights sleep..lol.

Hmmm...A snacker? That pretty much describes our first 2 years with Evan. In hind site, I'm not so sure that it was just the GERD that caused that. I really think that it was also the DGE. Does Aidin have DGE? Has she been tested? Do you hear her refluxing hours after she has eaten? Just a thought...

She is speratict (sp?) with her reluxing. Won't the milk scan show DGE? She has not had any of those kind of tests done yet.

Hmmm, both of the boys starteted sleeping through (10pm- 5am) at around 5 1/2 months. Matthew managed to do it sooner by a few weeks. We rejoiced in this milestone for a couple of month and then the wakeful nights started again- up only once or twice and then it deteriorated into 3-6 times a night and then it was constant with Matthew just recently until we doubled his prilosec dose. Stephen has been sleeping 7:15pm-6am for a few weeks again but Matthew is still a little disturbed. The night before last was the 1st time we had slept through for 3 motnhs!! Last night I was up once. They have not needed feeding at all during the night since 5 1/2 months, they just need reassurance, paci being found etc.....

Walker was around 6 weeks of age with periodic aberrations. Curran was a nightmare until around 8 months of age and then when he was sick or particularly puky we were up all night again until it settled. Iain is now 22 months of age and started sleeping through the night at 21 months. We deserve a medal or this kid is going to have a hand in putting me in one sweet nursing home with all the bells and whistles!:razz:

Noah has yet to sleep a night through without being heavily medicated. He's 6 years old now.

Wow. You win, Katy! Not a presigious constest to win though, eh?:cry: Iain is bad enough, I can not imagine 6 years. You must feel like the walking dead from the lack of sleep.

Emma slept through the night the first 3 weeks after being put on Prevacid, (she was 6 months old at the time). She would sleep from 9 p.m to 5 a.m. Then, it stopped. Not sure why.

We haven't had any "sleeping through the nights" since.

Doesn't that really tick you off, Amanda? Noah slept through the night for one month when we first started Prilosec and thickening, but now, NO FREAKIN' WAY!!! This kid gets up, on average, 5 times per night now for the last month. WHAT THE H*LL IS GOING ON??? No clue. Good luck to you, though. Hope you have better luck. And yes, Katy, you win. I should shut my big mouth because 8 months is nothing compared to six years! You deserve a vacation!

It was definitely a "tease". :( Here I thought she was getting better and then BAM - nope, back to square one. :???:

Emma has already woken up 3 times tonight...I think that's why I go to bed so late. That way, I'm not woken up as much. I'd rather just be awake during her nightwakings, then have to be woken up for them. Make sense? Probably not, I'm as sleep deprived as you are. Sorry...I'm rambling. :oops:

Iain WAS sleeping through, but as we have yet another throat infection (AGAIN) he is waking up at least 3 to 5 times again, sometimes refluxing. I know that this should pass again and we only see bad nights when he increases his intake again.

Not so much fun when we are getting used to him finally doing the sleeping thing. We are hoping once this latest fun thing passes he will be back to "normal".:xmas1:

My little refluxer, Cady started sleeping long stretches right away after birth - 4-5 hours at night at birth, sleeping through for 6 hours at 3 weeks, then 7.5-8 hours at 4 weeks, 10-12 hours from 2 months on. Her ped. believes that the pain of her reflux has always been relieved by sleep. I don't know why, but I decided not to question it.

My non-refluxer, now five, rarely slept through the night until she was 18 mos. And, even now she has a lot of problems sleeping through due to anxiety.

He only started sleeping thru the night a year or so ago at age 10
