My almost 8 week old DD has been bringing up lots of clear liquid the past few weeks and sometimes chokes on it. It's usually a couple of hours after feeds, in fact almost when she's due her next one. The HV and GP say it sounds like reflux so we've been trying Aptamil anti reflux formula and initially it did make a difference but it's starting to happen more now. This afternoon was her worst episode yet, she was on her mat kicking away and it was happening every so often but just small amounts and her head was to the side so it just came out and she barely noticed so I wasn't worried. Then she brought up a huge amount and choked on it, it was awful, it sounded like she was drowning 😠I had to turn her over and then almost upside down to help her clear it because she couldn't breathe, she was bright red and stiff. She eventually cleared it but was then hysterical which isn't like her cos she's generally a happy baby.
I just wondered if anyone else has experienced this and what did you do? I told the HV about it earlier and she says she'll check with her colleagues and the GP but she thinks the next step would be omeprazole, I fail to see how that would stop the liquid coming up though? She's sometimes a little uncomfortable after feeds but nowhere near the extent other babies with reflux are. It's a complete mystery!
