Does anyone have any tips on helping an infant sleep longer? My baby is 5 weeks old. She has infant reflux, is on a babt form of zantac and sleeps on a wedge that slants her up a tiny bit to help stop the acid from backing it's way up from her tummy. She is on soy formula right now which seems to be helping a bit, and eats every 2 1/2 to 3 hours at night...same as during the day. Problem is, she doesn't take as much in during the night (maybe 2 oz per feeding, when during the day she takes 3 or 4) and she is a restless sleeper, constantly moving around and looking uncomfortable. I don't want to feed her any more than she wants to take, but I sense she doesn't stay full for very long and maybe this is why shes so restless. She naps well (not too much during the day, and goes down for bed naturally around 9:30). Any tips to help her sleep more peacefully and longer? Can't use rice cereal or anything to thicken the formula...she has a very sensitive belly. Thank you!
