Is this reflux

[mumof3boys01]

Have a 5wk old he has always been very sicky since birth actually went through about 20 baby grows in 2 days when first born after being sick so many times.He is still being sick quite a lot after feeds. Getting very frustrated as having to change him all the time doesn,t bother me so much in the day ,but at night he just goes to sleep and wakes up screaming covered in sick change him then takes ages to settle him again so not getting much sleep,but he does not seem like he is in much pain no uncontrollable crying just seems like a never ending process of getting him clean and dry sometimes we end up with sevral changes before i even have him of the changing mat.Do you think this is normal getting so tired as night times are a nightmare.

my dd had reflux as baby and this sound very much like it. I would make an appointment at your docs as they prescribed us with Infact Gaviscon which you mix in her bottle and it worked great for us. Good Luck. xxxx

Yep, that's reflux.

If he is not experiencing pain and isn't aspirating it or losing weight, then he is a 'happy chucker' and it si just a bit of a nightmare.

Infant Gaviscon can be mixed in milk or given after a feed if bfing, though it is a faff. WOrth it if it works.

You can buy Infant Gaviscon over the counter now.

If it doesn't help, ask your GP/HV about other meds, especially if it starts causing him distress.
