Growth spurt? WOrsening of rerlux? Aargh!

[nickytwotimes]

Ds2 is a bfed and 8 weeks old.
He has had pretty severe reflux (silent) since borth requiring hospital and meds. His meds were increased a week ago and he seemed to be improving, though still a struggle.
However since last night he has been a nightmare - really restless, uncomfortable, grumpy and hardly sleeping at all.
A friend suggested it may be a growth spurt and his growth has been slowed by the pain of the reflux, so this could be a possibility if he is more comfortable reflux-wise.
Thing is it is difficult to know how often to feed him as the reflux makes feeding sore for him so the more often he feeds, the more often he is uncomfortable, iyswim?
ANy ideas welcome. Or sympathy...

Maybe take a look at your diet if you're BF. A friend of mine had to cut leafy greens and salads out of her diet when BF because it gave her baby terrible wind. Have you changed what you eat/drink recently? Are you getting enough fluids in the hot weather, for example?

Thanks for the reply.
I changed my diet 4 weeks ago to eliminate windy stuff and all dairy, but to no avail as yet...

but actually, no, I probably am not having enough fluids.
