Reflux?

[kentgall8484]

I think Leo may have reflux he's v gulpy when he drinks his bottle and after a feed he's constantly bringing something up and swallowing it. Also he has little bubbles in his mouth and on his lips I have been treating him for colic and he seems a bit better but there's still a few hours where he screams and screams whilst I'm feeding him or when I lie him down. Does any one have any advice? Should I contact the Hv or the doctor? Sorry for asking silly questions I'm just worried about him x

Aww poor lil guy. Yeah contact your doctor Hun, they will prescribe you gaviscon or maybe something a lil stronger x

Oh and try not to lay him down flat, especially not after a feed. Try elevate his Moses basket/cot mattress. Xxx

I hold him for half an hour but still is bringing stuff up the Hv kept saying it was mucos but doubt that yea I will get him a docs app poor lil chap x

Yeah does sound quite like it, good luck at doctors. If they prescribe gaviscon beware it causes constipation if you have to put it in every feed xxx

 

[kentgall8484]

Oh no he's all ready a bit bunged up x

 

[My1stBaby]

oh no well i doubt they'd give you any lactulose as hes very young but you can ask the GP,

my LO is 3 months and doctor was wary of prescribing it and i have to give minimum amount. before they allowed him to have this i would put a teaspoon of PURE orange juice in warm boiled water (everyone says cooled but he wont take cooled water)
