My anxiety is through the roof and I'm exhausted thinking about this.. I'll try to keep it brief...
DD is 13 weeks. No CMPA, no tongue tie. EBF
When she was smaller it took me hours to get her to sleep with lots of tears. Was given gaviscon, nightmare to give it to her. Given omeprazole. We used it for a week which coincided with her napping better and she settled at night. Then on day 5 became v gassy, lots of poos. We stopped the omperazole after a week and she was still settled - I was v relieved.
Then in the last 10 days we have lots of reflux symptoms. She wakes from each nap crying (but I feed on waking so maybe it is just hunger). Some.feeds are easy others v traumatic. Vinegary poo today. She cant be left on her back for longer than about 10 minutes but if she's upset actually laying her down soothes her. Also think she just doesnt like being alone.
I think it ia silent reflux but I'm terrified of making it all worse with the omperazole.
Dr says its reflux but normal and i should power through and wean at 4-5 months.
Any advice? It's all I think about. I hate to think of her in pain but I dont want to start messing around with meds if its going to make it all worse.
