I'm breastfeeding my DD and she is a good feeder who generally feeds peacefully (unless she gets wind, so I wind her before continuing feed). After a feed, I wind her and hold her upright for 20-30 mins.
Most of the times I put her down she wriggles with discomfort, makes a throat clearing noise and will not settle. Occasionally she does settle only to wake 20-40 mins later when she starts wriggling and 'clearing her throat'. When i pick her up, she often has wind which brings up some partly digested milk (more than possetting). Twice in the last day she has projector vomited digested milk. Occasionally she seems to choke and appears to have something unpleasantly tasting in her mouth.
I cannot work out if this is wind or reflux - I have been using infocol which helped with the wind (coincidently the projectile vomiting happened when i had stopped using the infocol - on the advice of the nurse who administered jabs this week).
I have infant gaviscon and renitidin from the gp - but haven't used either yet as I just can't make my mind up whether this is wind or reflux. Sometimes it's clear she has wind but then the throat clearing and choking make me think its reflux.
I really don't want to give her loads if medicine unnecessarily.
Any help or suggestions much appreciated.
TIA
