Hi all, I posted not too long ago with some worries about my 11 week, EBF DS digestion and symptoms. I've since had him checked by paediatrics and GP (paediatrician was great and I trust their judgement just hoping for others stories/advice) who have confirmed he has reflux worsened by Laryngomalacia.
His symptoms are tummy pains and bloating, excessive dribbling, lots of curdled milk spit ups, painful wind and constant feeding.
They've prescribed him a daily dose of 2ml of liquid Omeprazole as he'd tried Gaviscon before and it just thickened his spit ups to the point he choked on them.
He has only been on the omeprazole for two days and I've noticed two main differences - he's doing less little spit ups but still does big spit ups however these are no longer curdled they look like fresh milk and seem more volume than usual. He has also started pooping quite watery poos immediately after feeds or during - these are like diarrhea imo as there is an absence of milk curds in them.
He is otherwise a happy baby who interacts and smiles. Takes all his feeds, has plenty wet nappies and only had bad crying episodes when he has wind.
My question is are these big non-curdled spit ups normal? Is the diarrhea something I need to worry about? Are these normal omeprazole side effects and could it just be him adjusting? Any advice or stories appreciated!
