Took my lil man to the doc yesterday and diagnosed silent reflux so we have ranitidine and Carobel to thicken his milk. So far so good! Slept 9:30 last night to 4am, quick feed then back to sleep til 7! I feel so refreshed! And we haven't had hours of screaming this morning either

Hi to all the new ladies

My DD1 had silent reflux, its tough isnt it

She also had ranintidene ~ If you want any extra tips, I have a few...just let me know

Sounds like he was in need of that good sleep, as you were

Hope it continues, amazing what a good block of sleep does for us

Any tips would be fab

Its just such a relief to be able to pop him in his chair for 10min and play with Tabitha without constantly rocking/cuddling/patting/anything to calm him down! Glad i got a nice doctor and i wasn't fobbed off

I remember those days only too well, awful, I was so worried that this LO would have it too, its truly hard, hard work & so awful to see your LO in pain

My tips would be:

Feed propped up ie: in a bouncer chair
Prop the head end of the basket/cot up
Dr Browns bottles
rub dont pat when winding

Im sure there is more, but cant think now....Will come back to you if I think of more

Ahh reflux is the worst! LO had it and we were perscribed Infant Gaviscon and she was like a different baby. Did anyone else find they spent ALOT less money on second baby? I've been getting a lot of second hand stuff this time and can't believe we actually spent the money we did with our little girl. I sold her bouncer yesterday for £20 and got boys one second hand for £15 so worked out well. Looked on babiesrus and its still on there we paid £50 for it when we got it new... What were we thinking!!!

michelle- glad the meds worked and you both got good sleep!

guppy- how old was your first DS when he weaned? this is my first time BF and im wondering when. we'll be doing baby led as well, just like we did with our formula babies. i know they are all different, just wondering.

misse- you definitely spend less each time. im on #6, so we barely bought anything

however, we just found out a week ago we have no 0-3 month clothes. there was a tornado in a city close to us (joplin) and we donated a bunch of clothes to victims. i must have sent all of that size

it will be nice to actually go buy him something though lol! cant wait to shop!

misse04 · Apr 7th, 2012, 11:39 AM

6! Impressive... I get the feeling i'll be stopping at 2

I have still bought a lot of new stuff just no where near as much, love baby shopping!

I've got a pink lining yummy mummy one, it's good but I still struggle to get everything in it! Not sure what I'll do with all the new baby's stuff!

Hi to all the new ladies

Lol, brilliant story, LO was definately meant to be!

Sorry to hear your LO has been diagnosed with silent reflux, my LO had it terribly, she ended up in hospital at 5 weeks, poor bubba, she had special milk, ranitidine and domperidom (sp?) which I weaned her off of at 5 months when I started weaning and she's been fine ever since!xx

Sassy_TTC · Apr 7th, 2012, 14:54 PM

I've definately spend ALOT less this time around, mainly because new bubba will have all LO hand me downs (car seat, cot, bouncer, bumbo etc) I've only bought some new clothes so its been pretty cheap having another, lol!
