Newborn with reflux and hates sleeping in our bedroom!

Im just looking for some advice I have a 3 week old who has bad reflux, doctor has given him gaviscon but Im not 100% sure its helping. We have a snuzpod and ever since he has been born he wont sleep in it, we have bought a sleepyhead and he will sleep in that in the livingroom during the day but at night when we move him to our bedroom he will sleep for about 30 minutes then he stirs and starts screaming and nothing seems to settle him. He constantly wriggles about and I know its his reflux bothering him, if anyone has any advice on settling reflux babies please let me know

We have taken to sitting in the livingroom with him, my husband does a few hours to let me sleep then i take over about 4am to let him sleep. He will sleep for a cpl of hours at a time but only in his pram in the livingroom, we keep trying to persevere with our bedroom and we have tried putting him down during the day in the room with one of us watching him but again he wont sleep.
I know hes only a few weeks old so he is still trying to get to grips with things but im panicking slightly as my husband is due back at work in a cpl of weeks and I feel im going to have to sit in the livingroom with him all night so as not to disturb my husband.Confused

I just feel like nothing we try works and i feel so helpless as he is so uncomfortable.

[quote Mommaplaysthebanjo]@MrsWeir1980 hi OP. I know this thread is a little old now but just wondering how you’re getting on? My lb is 8 weeks and has reflux. He has been prescribed omoprezole but he is still very unsettled. He is EBF and I have gone dairy free (three weeks in although had a couple of slip ups over the past few days).

Have things improved for you? I’m hoping for some reassurance that things do get better you see. My DS1 had reflux too but no way near as bad as DS2. Sad[/quote]
Sorry i also meant to add if you are on instagram there is a really good page called theparentandbabycoach she has alot of experience in dealing with reflux babies and she is doing a reflux week at the moment where she is giving advice so worth looking at
