My little boy is 16 weeks old and has had reflux issues since birth. We suspected it was mainly silent reflux as he spent hours swallowing acidic bile and screamed each time he did so. At 7 weeks he was put on infant gaviscon and this made for a much happier little chappy.
However, this has changed in the last week. He either does two things:-
Either holds on to his milk that needs to come up and repeatedly swallows it back down. This results on him choking on his reflux hours after a feed. He then cries each time he's put on his back. Eventually after a long time winding him or bouncing him on my knee large chunks of milk come out that has obviously sat on his stomach for a few hours and he's s much happier baby.
Or he brings up the majority of his milk during winding mid and at the end of his feed. It's projectile and goes everywhere!
He's obviously distressed by all of this and actually cried when I put the bottle in his mouth earlier even though he was hungry.
Anybody got any experience of this? He's had a cold for the last week do you think it's related?
