It sounds very much like this baby is in pain. I'd be looking for something in the neck and/or shoulder areas Even though this was a cesarean, the birth could have been traumatic. (They used a vacuum extractor on my last cesarean baby) There's some things in your post that struck a familiar cord. >>>Very restless sleeper - only sleeps 30 mins at a time, mostly in someone's arms. Much wimpering, and very restless even when asleep....Mother is very anxious about her child (had to resue child once after it stopped breathing after inhaling chloral hydrate prescribed by paed!!!). They are using a apnoea monitor and baby sleeps in their bed. Wakes frequently, very restless, cries alot.<< Have you ever heard that colicky mothers make for colicky babies? A certain percentage of the colic we see in our clinic is because of over anxious mothers who just will not leave the baby alone to sleep, rest or are constantly *picking at* the baby. It's almost like sleep deprivation for the baby. A little gentle coaxing on parenting and calming down goes a long was in these cases. Hope this helps, Marie Davis, RN,IBCLC
