DS had reflux as a baby so I must admit I've been looking out for it with DD who is 2 weeks old. I've just changed my clothes for the 2nd time today after being drenched with sick and am starting to wonder if I should take her to the doctor.
She is ebf and will fuss and feed on and off for long sessions until she is properly sick. She seems to be doing this in the evenings and sometimes during the day. I am feeding on demand and during these sessions I alternate between worrying she is feeding too much and blaming it on my supply. She will be rooting a lot but quite often will pull off crying soon after she latches.
She is also very unhappy on her back - pulling up her legs, crying and posseting even if I keep her upright for ~20minutes after feeding. I have resorted to co-sleeping with her sleeping on her side (which I am worrying about but I think the alternative would be no one sleeping).
DS was a terrible sleeper and I think it was because we didn't pick up on the reflux quickly enough. Infant gaviscon helped but by then everything was a mess. I'm keen to deal with it quickly this time but also don't want her to take medicine she doesn't need. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
