I'm just having a moan really. My DS2 is 3 weeks and has been diagnosed with silent reflux. With every feed his is spluttering and going at it like crazy and then within a couple of seconds pushing it away like he is in pain, he is gagging a lot, and screams for 2 hour stretches at night.
He looks so uncomfortable and in pain and it's getting me down. I have a 12 month old to look after as well so it is particularly difficult when DS2 is screaming during he day.
I have tried cow and gate comfort milk and had no success and now we have been prescribed with infant gaviscon. He's been on it for 3 days so far and nothing's changed, irregular and little feeds, gagging, crying and screaming for hours etc, and now on top of this he has become constipated. We also use infacol with each feed. Does anyone have any tips/advice?
I'm extra tired and grouchy today. Please tell me I'll get through this! (I didn't have anything like this with DS1, so I have no idea what else to do. Is it just a waiting game until he outgrows it?)
