Hi, I'm new to mumsnet but struggling with 8 week old baby and wanted to see if anyone else has had experience of this. We think she has silent reflux but not too sure. Has come on in he last few weeks and is terrible as she just will not sleep except on us (sometimes) and cries and cries. We initially thought it was just wind but it's more. She cries so much, won't sleep unless on us, in the pram or sling outside (sometimes), appears to always be chewing in her mouth, can hear how gassy she is, constant explosive poos, crazy moving arms and legs if we put her down to sleep, choking noises, she claws at her mouth and throat, sounding like she has a cold even though she doesn't. We've been to see HV and GP who weren't massively helpful but eventually gave us baby gavison. I'm only breastfeeding and finding it really hard to give it to her mid feed when home alone. And doesn't seem to really be working. Does anyone have any experience or advice? We are massively struggling as some nights she literally will not sleep at all and we're paranoid about falling asleep holding her so also get no sleep.
And she looks like she is in so much pain when what we assume is the acid coming back up
Friends have suggested a thicker formula sometimes helps but I am reluctant to stop breast feeding if I can avoid it.
