Hey hun, hope this is of help to you - I saw a doctor today and luckily she was due a feed in there, so i fed her, he watched her and diagnosed silent reflux - even sent me to see a ped at local children's hospital! They said the same! And they gave me infant gaviscon to put in her bottles and some anti -acid drops........now, i don't want to count my chickens before they hatch, but, usually after her 5 o clock feed, she is sooo irritable and obviously in pain/discomfort - she wont settle enough to be put down and will keep crying out and i have to find humpteen different ways/positions to hold her in to comfort her, but, after just one dose of both meds, she sat contentendly for 20 mins in her chair and then fell asleep laid on me without a whimper - put her in her basket and she is still sleeping now, so.....? Hope it continues!
