I suspect DD has reflux, have an appt next week with a specialist. She was gulping and crying in pain after being BF and then vomiting almost religiously after every feed. She is just about keeping weight on and is increasing the minimum amount.
While I wait for the appt next week I am in a vicious circle of feeding her (20 mins) winding/holding her upright on advice of the doc (30 mins.) Often even 30 mins is not enough for the milk to go down as she will still start squirming, gulping, crying when I lay her flat and eventually vomit again. The vomit/misery of pain makes her hungry again and by then two hours have gone by again anyway and she's due for another feed and she finds the breast comforting anyway, so the cycle starts again.
Cue me (and her) getting no sleep
When she (and I) eventually sleep it's because I have BF her lying down and she has taken cursory/comfort sucks until she falls asleep (in the bed with me.)
Can anyone offer advice or words of wisdom?
