growing out of reflux? & sleep question

[kerryp]

Hi, this is for anyone who has had a little boy with reflux (as the title says!)... my little one has got reflux & its dam hard work with breastfeeding & probably could have broke me if i had let it. We are only having minimal gaviscon (2.5mls instead of 15) as i couldnt get 15mls into him - it was horrendous via syringe & has now given him horrific wind to try & get rid of!
My question though... how old was your child when the reflux resolved itself? Did you buy anything special to help them sleep? I ask that because our little lad will sleep perfectly in your arms BUT put him in a basket etc (even at an angle) & he is sick within 5 mins which makes him wake up & scream.... needless to say we're not getting much sleep as he only is sleeping "properly" when propped on us.

Any advice?!
Thanks

Hiya, just thought you might want to ask this in the Parenting sections, might get more response there

viewforum.php?f=55

or

viewforum.php?f=56

Lots of Mums post there have LO's with reflux so might be able to offer some advice. Also other threads on reflux there too. Plus a reflux support thread here viewtopic.php?f=55&t=60117

Hope that helps.

Lil miss is a booby baby with bad reflux. She has only just started growing out of it now... although she still has her days when she pukes loads Mind she doesn't have any meds now.. and didn't get given anything until she was 6 months old.... (typical Spain for you )

Once they are on 3 meals a day and a snack its much better... although food is no cure. I understand you comment

its dam hard work with breastfeeding & probably could have broke me if i had let it.

Its really hard but lil miss just upped her feeds and she was fine... infact when she had formula in the hospital she was worse...

Just remember my LO may be 9 months old now...but she was only born yesterday The time zips by...
