Hi
My five week old wsa perfect for the first two weeks. Since then, she's always had wind problems, not burping after breastfeeds and crying after I put her down etc etc.
I went to the Qld Health Baby Clinic last week, and the lady there says she has symptoms of Silent Reflux. (To be honest, sometimes I don't think they know what they are talking about - I don't mean to be mean) I've never heard of this. When she's in pain, her tummy is really tight and she wont bend. She doesn't throw up, just tiny little perks that dribble out of her mouth, but this isn't all the time, she seems to get a horrible cough as this starts to happen. She also has it dribble out of her nose. Hiccups often. But worst part is, it's 4.30pm now, and she's been up and down with pain since 9am this morning.
I use Infants Friend. I have gone through almost a whole bottle of the stuff. I dip her dummy in mostly, but sometimes actually give her the dosage. She only takes the dummy when it has the Infants Friend on it, otherwise she doesn't take it.
I sleep her in a raised position. I've tried bottle feeding her water. I think I have tried just about everything.
I have a paediatrician appt next week (the standard 6 week check - I couldn't get in any earlier). Apparently not all doctors beleive in Reflux - that's just great.
Has anyone tried Infants Gavascon? Does it work? I think it's the next thing I'll try, but I was hoping for other peoples opinion.
Thanks for that.
