We have had ongoing sleep issues for months now and suddenly after visits to the chiro, probiotics, and a few other changes DS began to sleep a more decent schedule
But alas, he has reverted back to the every 45 minute wake ups four nights ago and we are once again stumped, exhausted, and frustrated. His naps are also short again and he is generally fussier. No teething signs. We have not changed anything since he has been sleeping better EXCEPT: solids.
The better sleeping period also coincided with an introduction to pears, which he loved and wanted to gobble down. We followed with whole grain brown rice cereal 4-5 days later, and then followed that by avocados 4-5 days later. Well, I just realized that the day we started avocados was the first night of poor sleep. He didn't poop for 2 days after that and was gassier. Especially at night. The next poop (yesterday evening) was very thick and looked a little like avocado
. No diaper rash, no straining. He also seems to be having a return of silent reflux symptoms- wet burps, choking while nursing, not wanting to sleep flat, etc. Thing mornings poop was also thicker, but more normal.
I stopped all solids and only breastfed since Saturday afternoon (so he had ~ 2.5 days of avocados before I stopped all solids). But his sleep is still worse. Does this sound like solids/avocados could be causing the return of our sleep problems? I am going to continue BM only for at least a few more days- should I wait even longer to reintroduce any solids?
TIA!
