Well after weeks of thinking Halle has colic, I'm now convinced she has silent reflux.
Her symptoms are;
*Always crying out as if in pain in her sleep... 24 hours a day!
* Always wanting to be held upright, will only really settle if she's in her car seat or baby bjorn
* Frequent wet hiccups
*Choking and gagging sounds while she's asleep- this REALLY freaks me out
* While bf'ing she'll arch her back and fuss and scream like she's in pain- it's not that i don't have milk- there's plenty of that
* I can hear fluid swishing up in her tummy- right up to her mouth, and then she'll pull a funny face like she has a horrid taste in her mouth.
* I've noticed that even though she doesn't obviously vomit, if you open her mouth during these episodes of gagging and strange faces that you can see milk vomit- but it never comes out as she swallows it
Do these symptoms sound like reflux???
I'm shattered, she was screaming allllllll night last night- I had maybe 2 hours sleep collectively- she's shattered.
I tooke her to the gp yesterday and said what I thought she had and she advised gaviscon. We've tried this, but it's so hard to give when breastfeeding I've asked her for ranitidine, and she wasn't keen- but after pleading with her and telling her how desperate I am she's agreed, so Im picking up the 'script at 12 today.
Anyone had any luck with ranitidine (zantac)..... I'm pinning so much on this as I've had enough of seeing her in so much pain plus me and dh are shattered
