Dear Sleep Fairy,

Please come visit my house as soon as possible. Cooper is suddenly regressing to waking up every 45-60 minutes at night and I'm not getting ANY sleep because of it. When he is asleep he is not sleeping well - making funny noises like snoring, coughing and grunting - so I don't even sleep during those short time frames because I worry and watch to make sure he's breathing OK. During the day, Cooper isn't napping well anymore. He used to be a great daytime napper with 1-2 hour naps but suddenly 25 minutes is as long as he goes.

So, please, Sleep Fairy, please come wave your magic sleep dust over both Cooper and me so we can get some rest around here.

Thank you,
Julie

PS - If you could talk to the Reflux fairy and ask him to hurry up and go away we'd really appreciate it. Cooper's meds are working to keep the acid away but the actual reflux action continues (which is typical of the condition) so Cooper won't eat much during each feeding and therefore doesn't stay full very long and is demanding to eat every 90 minutes. We had a good day of 3 hour feedings but that was a teaser that didn't last. Any idea what the Reflux fairy would want as a bribe to go away for good?
