Reflux in newborn... any advice?

[haleysunshine32]

Hi everyone, I have a 2 week old baby boy and his reflux has steadily gotten worse to the point we had zero sleep last night, between every feed (he's currently breastfed) he just choked, coughed, vomited etc. I know I'm supposed to keep him upright for at least 30 mins after every feed but I'm finding myself almost falling asleep holding him which I know is dangerous!

Any advice/tips for coping? E.g. Any good suggestions on potential medication to make him more comfortable?

Thanks

Hi I hope you’re getting some sleep. I had a baby with reflux and found two things helpful- the cranial osteopath, and giving up dairy which was a total game changer, really. Apparently it takes awhile for the dairy to not be present in your milk but I found a change almost overnight. I so advise it. Good luck, it’s so hard and upsetting when you’re in the thick of it 💜💜💜
