Reflux worse after weaning- i thought it was meant to help!

DD is 8m and eating really well, on 3 meals of fruit, jars and whatever she can snaffle from our plates. But she's bringing up part digested food after every meal and it's bothering her when she lies down.

She did this a little bit while bfing but never enough to be worth mentioning and I understood that solid food helped because it stayed down easier. Is it worth a trip to the docs?

DS's reflux did get worse after weaning as well. Did take him back to the dr and was given different meds. The problem was that in theory the solid food was supposed to help it stay down but sometime the reality can be that all it does is thicken up the sickness/acid which makes bringing it up a bit harder and sticks a bit longer in the throat etc. Might be worth a trip back to see what they say.

Cheers, I think just writing it down made me think that hmm, probably should book in. I hope your DS is better now.

He is 3 in 2 weeks and reflux has gone but he was quite bad for a long time and now when he is poorly gets a flare up of acid now and then, takes after his mummy he gave me heartburn in pregnancy that never went away again.
Hope your DD gets better soon.
