We're 2 days post discharge from the paeds ward where pylortic stenosis was ruled out with a scan. My DS's symptoms (vomiting, back arching, distress) have been put down to reflux and we've been given infant Gaviscon.
The past 2 days have now been some of the worst, largely because of the battle of trying to get the Gaviscon into him.
It's too large a volume at 15mls, and when we are (rarely) successful, it fills him up...which is a problem as his weight gain will suffer. But generally thats not an issue as we've failed to get it in him via spoon or syringe. I thought a supplementary nursing system might help but the paeds ward hadn't heard of these and even if I could get one I still have the problem of filling him up on this rather than milk.
Has anyone had success with this?
