hi hun no not really i think it takes the edge off it but all the symptoms above are every day, yesterday he was up from 2.30am (was only in bed 4 hours_) all day screaming untill about 9.30pm last night, he'd have 10 min sleep then wake up screaming. but just presumed it was colic, can u offer any advice please hun x x x

Yeah it took the edge off Fins too...
its the arching of the back mainly, thats a huge sign that somethings rising back out of the tummy... is he ever sick?

hi hun, omg he has all that all the time, plus i thought he might have a bit of cold but that seems to be a symptom to, the arching of the back he does a lot while screaming and stretching his legs full out, infact there that stretched he goes ridged. he is sick but not a lot. he wont go down on his own for longer than 5 min, only sleeps an hour at a time. and hes 7 weeks old but still only having around 2 ounce a feed.

its not easy to get it diagnosed but i suggest going back to your docs and being tough, if you really believe thats what it is - which it does sound like to me then you really have to push it!

I ended up asking for a referral to a paediatrician but before we went to the appointment Fin took a turn for the worse and stopped breathing so we got diagnosed at A&E thats not to scare you, Apnea is not common really we were just unlucky

hi first thankyou very much. i have been to doc's told them his symptoms, she wasnt sure so she rang local hospital and spoke to a pediatrition it was a short 5 min appointment and we was with her an hour. the pediatrition said yes reflux they've given me domperidone and omeprozole, i've to take him back in a week and if no better to be refered to see the pediatrition at hospital. hope it works and thankyou as i just thought it was colic x x x
