DS is 7.5 months old. He was diagnosed with mild reflux at around 10 weeks, and has been on ranitidine ever since. However months on, he is still puking the entire time. I started weaning him (on doctor's advice) at 18 weeks which helped a little at first but now when he's sick it's like proper vomit, rather than just milk posseting. He sits well unsupported, rolls both ways and is on the verge of crawling - every HV I spoke to assured me that his reflux would get better when he could sit up but if anything it's worse as his tummy is compressed!
I'm so utterly fed up... my home reeks of baby vomit, my carpets have little sick patches everywhere, all my clothes are stained, I have sick in my hair most days and my otherwise wonderful baby permanently smells of puke. I keep telling myself I'm lucky that he's not losing weight (he's a 98th percentile heffalump and has been since birth), nor does he seem remotely bothered by being sick, but oh golly it's disgusting. I used to cringe at stories of mothers catching sick in their hands but now it's depressingly second nature.
Can anyone offer me some light at the end of this sticky, smelly, tunnel? Any other mums of 'happy pukers'?
