Hiya!
Yes I did/do!
Wanted to reply because I did so much research and spoke to so many people so will share what I know.
Our little boys symptoms started when he was 2 weeks old. He was screaming like something out of this world, we knew it wasn’t right. He wouldn’t feed properly he kept pulling off the boob and bottle and was really not right, crunching up and grunting ..arching back and pushing off me with his legs and screamed and screamed. Was ‘tonguing’ a lot which means like licking his tongue and making gulping noises.
After hospital visits and people investigating cmpa/cmpi and changing milks it didn’t make a difference. The only thing that helped was omeprazole and time. He was on omep from 4 weeks old but it wasn’t helping much so we went private and they put it up to 16mg a day the max it can be. He was on this from like 6 weeks old and now is 20 weeks. The private gastro guy we saw also said give the omep split once in morn and evening s their metabolism is different to ours. We had the liquid one not pill. I went to docs and demanded it and cried and refused to leave without it. Also the gps were great and just followed whatever the gastro paed said.
I tried everything as well, homeopathic, every milk even goats milk, but I kept hearing it’s just time (that’s if it’s not linked to cmpa if it’s that the milk will make a drastic difference quickly)!
I was like omg I can’t go through this and just wait til he outgrows it..I’ll die!
BUT his pretty much resolved itself by 17 weeks and now has gone nearly at 20 weeks. He’s on 6mg of omep now, and I don’t think he even needs that. And his was a v bad case where we ended up going private to Harley st as he was in so much pain and couldn’t sleep at ALL. And I was having a break down..
So I promise if it’s silent reflux it will go and you will see big improvement on omeprazole and even bigger by 15 week mark in my case. I read so many people saying it took like 7 months for it to go but my lo is sooo much better already and I didn’t believe it would ever happen this soon.
He slept on his front on our chests for 3 months and we have just go him onto his front in his nexttome. He can go 4hrs at a time like this now. Can’t cope on his back and never could!
Any qns message me!
