I am really struggling to cope with my babies reflux. He is 15 weeks and is constantly sick and screams for hours on end. He has dropped two centiles in four weeks and is a very unhappy little man. Paediatrician first prescribed gaviscon but that didn't work so he has been on Rantitidine and domperidone for four days. I hate to say that this seems to be having little effect as well! I am bf and am going to try going dairy free as of tomorrow to see it this helps him at all. I am now really struggling to cope I hate the fact I can do nothing for him and I am not enjoying being a mum at the moment . My DD is also suffering (age 2)!! Added to this there is the pressure from the hospital that if in 4 weeks there is no improvement with his weight then they are going to stick a tube down his throat into his stomach...
I was wondering what would be the implications of me weaning him early if the meds dont improve the situation in a couple of weeks.
