Breasfeed (with OALD and no sleep) a refluxy baby or try Enfamil AR etc?

[jellybeans]

Hi further to my other message has anyone got any advice about whether to carry on bf even though I am exhausted with NO sleep most nights (1-2 hrs if lucky) I have 4 older kids and feel unable to do much with them at the moment. DS (5 weeks) very irratable/windy/sick when bf so I feel responsible and sometimes dread feeding him He has gaviscon as we ended up in A&E due to his choking episodes which happen 2-3 hours after a feed and sometimes involve no visible sick. He also sicks out of his nose. Spoke to 2 friends who swore by Enfamil thickened formula. I keep imaging DS transforming into a happy baby and getting some sleep but also dread making him worse and loosing my milk! Not sure if to try a bottle of this at nighttime to try for some sleep. Can I use if he has taken gaviscon recently does anyone know. Anyone any experience or advice? Thankyou.

Thanks Bessmum, glad things are better for you I got NO sleep again but DS didn't scream so much although he choked once quite scarily. Got a couple hours kip this am but feel bad can't do as much with other kids. I am stopping block feeding as my milk has dwindled so much, hope can get it back. Hope everyone has a good christmas...with some sleep!

I don't know how you are managing to cope Jellybeans with no sleep and your other kids, you are doing a marvellous job sticking with it and staying sane - I am sure I would have lost it by now. Really hope things improve for you very soon. Your kids are very lucky to have you as their mum.

Aw thanks Bessmum, you cheered me up tonight DH is in tonight so we are having a couple hours sleep each hopefully. Hope you have a nice Xmas and a rested night.
