My 7 week old has been diagnosed with silent reflux and he is ebf. He is currently on ranitidine and I think this has helped with the pain but his reflux still bothers him by waking him from sleep, snuffly/mucusy breathing at night, bad farts, general fussiness. A lot of the time he is awake he is generally fussy, crying, on verge of crying etc. I sometimes think he shows signs of sandifer syndrome I have embarked on a dairy and soya free diet which I am not sure is helping although his poos seem much better. It is misery.
I am really just looking for someone to hold my hand and say it will get better. I have been seeing my GP but not hospital.yet but am thinking if going private to try and get it sorted as I don't want to wait. We can't really afford it but can't stand my baby unhappy either.
Any other breast feeders out there been there, done it and come out the otherwise?
