Kyan has improved heaps with the combination of his reflux medication, my cutting dairy from my diet and getting his eczema under control. He is no longer as cranky as he used to be and is a much happier baby but he is still wanting to feed frequently.
Before he came down with croup and then bronchialitis he was mostly only feeding once a night which I can cope with ok. He actually slept through a couple of times when he had bronchialitis, but now he has gone back to feeding twice a night which I am not coping with very well as I don't cope well with lack of sleep!
Dean has been great and is getting up with Kyan when he wakes at 5am in the morning to give me a bit extra sleep.. he copes better with lack of sleep than I do!
Last night he was feeding every 2hrs which just kills me. Thankfully it is a kindy day and he had a longer than usual sleep this morning (3 hrs!) so I was able to have a nap.
Anyway, I have decided to start him on solids a little early in the hopes it will help him sleep through.. we have tried cereal but he isn't too keen on it (in fact he hated it!) so I will buy some apples tomorrow and stew them up to give them a try.. I will see what else there is to try while I am at it. He is great at taking his thickened medication so I do think he is ready for the solids, just a matter of finding something he likes.
Fingers crossed that once we find some solids he likes he starts sleeping through.. if not I might start him on formula for his bed time feed...
