Is this reflux? im.so confused

My DS is 18 weeks old. In the daytime he is the sunniest, happiest baby you could wish for. He only cries when he needs a nap. Up until 6 weeks old nights were fairly easy too a d he was going for up to 6 hrs. Then he started refusing his crib. He only napped in the sling. I suspected silent reflux and was prescribed omeprazole. It didbt really make much difference. DS started going back in his crib.
He is now a nightmare at night.I cannot put him down. His crib has a reflux leg but he just squirms and fights. He doesn't necessarily cry u less I leave him. He cant go longer than 2 hrs without writhing around even in my arms. He scratches, arches his back, grabs onto my clothing. I keep him.upright after feeds but I cant sleep with him upright.
To my shame I did not realise that his nappies indicated s problem but now I realise I think he has cmpa. I've cut out dairy and soya.he us now on ranitidine.
Does this sound like reflux even if it's only st night? I'm so tired. Please help.

Yes I'm going to push tomorrow. I've gone dairy free and would rather try this before I go to neonate though.

Gaviscon is good for DS’s silent reflux. It does firm up poos but I only use it for the 6pm, 9pm and middle of the night feeds so it’s not too bad.

GP tomorrow. I'm going to go in form. This needs sorting.
Wish me luck.

You can do this! You know your baby and can fight for what is needed. Good luck! Let us know how it goes x

Just to say that we used Gaviscon for DS1 and it was incredible. His poos got a bit firmer but none of the mega constipation I'd feared. We also got prescribed Movicol in case he did get clogged up but we never needed it. Good luck - reflux is awful.

How did you get on OP?

Mississippilessly · 22/01/2019 03:36

Well.it was positive despite the GP being unaware that CMPA was possible for an EBF baby
He has doubled his ranitidine and given.me omeprazole again. He has also referred him to a paediatrician.
He didnt give me med but is going to phone me on Friday for an a check up
