does this sound like reflux?

[ZMD]

for the last few days after tegans 4pm feed she wont settle she gets the hiccups really badly and pulls a funny face like she has a horrible taste in her mouth and when i put her down after 10 mins she wakes up screaming this carries on untill about 10pm when she finally stays asleep.
she also does the same when she wakes in the night.

any advice would be great x

Isla has this, I keep her upright after a feed, but now we have infant gavisgon which seems to help. Hope she gets something to help xx

Charley was doing it so I started using infant gaviscon and he's hardly been sick since and he never cries during a feed! Def recommend it x x

sounds a good possibility, Toby has wet burps, is really sicky especially first thing in a morning, won't settle on his back and arches his back when feeding. He also feeds every few hours through the day which is common in reflux apparently as this helps lessen the acid hope the dr is good x

thanks everyone she wants my boob constantly when she gets like this. silly question but how do u give the gaviscon to a breastfed baby x

 

[Rowesb]

in 1/2oz of ezpressed milk before a feed... it was the only way I could get it down T, you could try putting it in water first like is says...

 

[ZMD]

im hoping the doctor prescribs some tommorrow as she seems really uncomfortable and miserable x

 

[Rowesb]

we got it as a see if it helps, as our symptoms were more the not settling on back, which I think the GP picked up on cas that was how her LO suffered...

well after spending the last 7 hours screaming whenever she goes down pulling funny faces and having the hiccups 3 times ive decided something isnt right shes now asleep im mentally and physically exhausted! x

Hope you're ok sweetie x

Reading this I'm beginning to think Seb has reflux. He hiccups a lot, arches his back and refuses feeds even though I know he's hungry, will go down and start screaming 5-10 minutes later, pulls very strange faces and sticks his tongue out, has wet burps, sounds as though he's in pain even though there's nothing wrong etc etc I was beginning to think it was the start of colic but the symptoms fit reflux rather than colic.

Let us know how you get on at the doctors x I'm going to keep a diary for a couple of days to see what's going on

Hey, she fed much better afterwards and slept for nearly 5 hours. She was screaming before hand. I squeezed as much as I could over the cup! Lol must remember to shut the kitchen blind.

There was roughly 9ml of fluid I gave her, I did the first 5ml with water. I immediately offered her some boob and she fed calmly.

Good luck xx
