Reflux

[Sunniwendy]

I am a single mum its my frist child he has reflux and i am finding it really hard as he goes blue and stops breathing anyone got any advice for me x

Just know that it will get better. So sorry, it’s one of the hardest things to go with a baby but I can barely even remember it now and my daughter is a happy, normal child. Hold on OP

Thanks so much i just hate watching him in so much pain with it as well x

That sounds very extreme are you under hospital care? My son had terrible reflux and he was under hospital care until one.

I have the infent feeding team and he is on medication and i have a dietition but thats about it x

It’s terrible OP and it really is just one of those things you need to wait for it to pass - but it’s months. As soon as he is even semi mobile it will improve so just keep that in your head. Poor little thing, it must be awful for them but I think we suffer just as much going through it with them!

I was told it might not pass till he is 18 month but then someone said when he goes on soilds it should pass ??? X

Definitely and even just being able to sit up properly on his own etc will help. I’ve never heard of a child that age still suffering but obviously not denying it happens.

My little girl suffered awfully with it so the first thing I tried was changing her milk...that didn't work and actually made her constipated...her doctor then put her on losec and I found that great and since I started her on solids she doesn't need the losec at all and prefers food to her bottle.

Stay strong wendy I know how tough it is to cope with it on your own but it will make your bond with your baby even stronger

O agtee with u there i think it does help u bond with ya child cause they need so much attention c
