Can you post dc's eating & sleeping schedule?

Re: Hi I'm new and need some help with a concern I have about my DC...

He has 4 bottles a day. Usually has 4-5 oz per feeding.

Then he has 3 meals a day. In the morning he has cereal (baby cereal) and a stage 2 fruit. For Lunch he has a stage 3 jar and a stage 2 fruit jar. Sometimes I skip the jars and give him chicken nuggets & fries or grilled cheese. I alternate the days between jars and table food.

For dinner he has pasta. He loves pasta. Then later on i'll give him a banana or yogurt. Before bedtime he gets one more bottle...

He usually gets up between 8:30-9 and goes down for a nap at like 11:30 or 12 and will sleep anywhere between 2-3 hours. He eats lunch when he gets up....

where does he sleep at night? is it possible there are too many distractions?

maybe a white noise machine would help him settle down.

We are going through the same thing with our 6 month old DD she has always bees such a good sleeper,but past week or SO has been very hard, she has every symptom that you described including dark circles and tossing at night and being perfectly fine during the day,our ped is not concerned either he says it's teething, but I think it's not just teething ,which I know is very painful, but also her stomach, she is just starting on solids, cereal, fruits and vegies, SO I think that could make her tummy hurt a little and make her uncomfortable at night, I give her tylenol and mylicon before she goes to sleep, but it doesn't really help much. I did speak to few people that went thorough the same thing and they have told me that all I can do is wait and see and eventually she'll get better.
maybe there is something that he is eating that doesn't agree with his stomach or maybe it's just teeth, they do take a long time to come out.

We have been going through the same thing with our DS for a month. DH keeps saying that maybe it's his stomach. Today he threw up, but I think that's a separate issue. Don't think it's really related to his tossing and turning.

Our DS sleeps with us. Some people have told me that that could be the issue but I don't think so cuz he's always slept fine with us. Our sleeping never disturbed him.
In fact the other night DH fell asleep for the night on the couch cuz he stayed up watching this movie so DS and I had the big bed to ourselves. He had plenty of room. I never even moved or stirred but yet he still tossed and turned...
He falls asleep fine but then after 2 or 3 hours the tossing and turning begins...

I am sorry but this is too funny. There are way to many similarities for this to be a coincidence.
