Anyone else?

You're not alone! I'm in a v similar place. For us the tongue tie division didn't work so still having the same latch issues at nearly 14 weeks. The gas/digestive trouble, particularly in the second half of the night basically means we don't sleep. Before that she will sleep for max 2.5 hoyrs at a time. baby is just under second percentile and barely tracking. I've been waiting nearly 6 weeks for an appointment with the paediatrician. The feeding and weight issues have absolutely stressed me out to the max and caused so much anxiety. My husband started giving her formula at night feed to see if it'd help with her weight and/or sleep. Hasn't changed the sleep but will see at weigh in on Mon whether that has changed. Felt it was important to let you know you aren't alone because I see so many posts on here that would make you think that everyone's babies are sleeping 5+ hours at a time and I just don't think that's the reality for quite a few of us. It can make you feel like such a failure can't it.

@Charlotte sorry to hear you are going through the mill with your little one.
Just a suggestion whilst reading your comment which may make things easier for you, maybe if you haven't already, purchase a baby scale for your home. This way you can weigh weekly and see how baby is getting on.
I have a baby scale that I found on Facebook marketplace for a fiver. Its in perfect working order and great as I worry about my little ones weight as he was born below second percentile and is at 16 weeks only on the 25th percentile. In my area I have to book to get him weighed and sometimes have to wait 6 to 8 weeks so not feasible.

Hope things improve for you both x

Have you tried lying him on his front to sleep? I know it’s not recommended, so I’m not telling you to, but for my friend it was the only way and transformed their life.

Sorry to hear you are going through a hard time with LO.My daughter had so much gas/wind pain and would at times stop feeding,arch her back because she was so uncomfortable and just wanted to be upright position. We tired infacal but I actually think it made things worse. Gripe water slightly helped but not enough to stop baby crying/ get bowels moving.I felt like a failure, was feeding constantly too but I eventually took my daughter to the chiropractor and she did some gentle adjustment and tummy work. Since having weekly adjustments my daughter is now having a lot less gas and pain, able to feed better and on the way to having regular bowel movements was 7 days to now 3-4days. Helping LO to have 1-2hr sleep during day instead of 10-20min catnaps. LO is mixed fed for top ups and found goats milk formula helped reduce pain/gas too as easier to digest.I found when I ate more dairy that baby would be in more pain. Baby massage can also help.
Hang in there, you are doing good mumma 💖

My baby is 8 weeks old and will not sleep on his back. He now sleeps on his front and so much more comfortable.
I know this is not recommended but he’s so much better in himself since we’ve done this. I am awake a lot in the night, constantly checking him but I don’t mind that aslong as he’s sleeping more comfortably.
You could try a day time night see how he goes.
I feel for you and the babies ❤️❤️❤️
