I am not coping at all. I'm sitting outside the house in the car crying.
DD has silent reflux. She screams. All day. Naps for 10 minutes every couple of hours. Feeds every 2 hours. Screams. All day.
Been to GP 5 times in the last 8 days. Saw the HV on Tuesday. I don't know how to cope with this screaming.
She used to sleep through the night so at least I got a rest then. Now up 2/3 times a night.
When does this get easier? Yesterday she had a nap in the morning for 45 minutes - for the first time ever in her entire life.
I find my self driving aimlessly because she'll sleep in the car seat. Wandering round with the pram. If she's moving she'll sleep. When do I get a rest?
I just want a cup of tea. A hot cup of tea without screaming in the background.
I go out every day to groups. She has a meltdown and everyone is so worried. What's wrong? What's wrong? Why's she screaming? Why's she being sick? And, I'm like this is what she is always like.
GP just won't listen. She's gaining weight so she's fine. She's smiling at me now so she's fine. I video one of her meltdowns. Yes, yes, that's what refluxy babies are like.
She is 5 months old today.
