Just had some advice from a doctor, but wondered what other MNers' experience is.
DS, 8.5 wks and breastfed, is on Infant Gaviscon for reflux, which has reduced the amount of spitting up a bit. But the last few days he's also developed a stuffy nose and occasionally does a kind of choke/gasp as if he can't breathe, before coughing and then being fine again. Also a couple of times milk has come back out of his nose. As well as this in the last few days he's started wriggling and pulling on/off the breast and crying in the middle of a feed - he does this about half of the time, the other feeds he's ok. I described all this to the doc and she said the stuffy nose may not be linked to reflux and told me to try saline nosedrops, in case this is causing the increased fussiness at the breast. If there's no change I have to take him to see them again.
The thing that panics me is hearing him choking from time to time... but she just said that was part of reflux. Have others had this problem?
