I posted another thread about silent reflux. I believe my DD has it. She always cries during and after a feed, arches her back, writhes around, looks and sounds in pain. Gets hiccups a lot, always wants to comfort suck. Doesnt sleep until she's cried so much she's completely exhausted. It's horrible.
GP wasn't keen to prescribe anything and as she's gaining weight doesn't see what the problem is, but I persuaded him to give ranatidine. She's been taking it since yesterday.
Well, we've just had a horrendous day, we were at my parents house so not equipped with the only trick we have for calming her down (the yoga ball I used in the third trimester!!) DD cried inconsolably for hours, went bright red, sounded so worked up and angry I thought she would choke herself the only thing which made it worse was my parents telling me it's just colic/wind/she's tired
I can't do this much longer, it's soul destroying. I need to know how long to give it before I march back to the GP and force them to watch a feed. Did your DC take ranitidine? If so did it work? And, crucially, how long until you saw a difference?
