Silent reflux,?

Hi,.my baby is 10 weeks old and has always had milk spit up so we use Dr brown bottles and pace feed. She recently has became more distressed after feeds, will cry for hours afterwards, only want to be upright (so this is disturbing sleep) and suckle at anything furiously (not a dummy).

She's having more spit up but no actual vomit and the spit up isn't loads.

Is this a case of silent reflux or possibly something else? We are trying gaviscon but when we tried this before it just caused constipation and we aren't really seeing any immediate results in terms of her comfort.

We use Hipp organic formula.

Has she got any other symptoms? Such as eczema, blood in stool, congested, sneezing, hiccups, unsettled during and after feed, arches her back?

You could try a thickener as well but a lot of them cause constipation so doctors (at least the one I see) prescribe stool softener to help with the constipation x

She has hiccups, is unsettled towards end and after feed and arches her back afterwards. No stool issues. An osteopath last week said her eyes seemed a bit congested but attributed this to neck tension.

She has what the gp thought was a yeast rash on her neck after having oral thrush, this is going away with cream now.

Thanks. Carobel is a thickener right ? Not sure of any others yet. Was thinking of switching to an anti reflux formulas

It could be an intolerance to the cows milk. Might be worth speaking with a doctor or health visitor about it.

Carobel is a thickener yes and even though there are measurements on the side or back it’s test and trial to see what works best for your little one x

Sounds like silent reflux but as above comment it could be a slight intolerance to milk. Gps aren’t great unless baby has been those typical text book symptoms.
The only way to know is changing to dairy free formula and then trialing back again to see if symptoms go.

However - silent reflux is also immaturity of the gut which gets better over time. Xx

Wdy think of this for a toddler to learn word construction?

I'm open to anything else to start teaching him to read and write. He's 3!

Do men really enjoy fellatio?

Been together more than 10 years, but it's been a while since he even seemed remotely interested in me getting on my knees, or vice versa so to speak. I think it was once last year. Must be something I am doing wrong 🤔. Generally everything else in that department is great and we have two young kids with no extra support, so it's quite surprising we can't keep our hands off each other but may need to try new things. It's basically 2 positions each time with some foreplay.

Vanilla extract

Has anyone used alcohol free vanilla in their babies formal to help them drink?
I’m 100% sure my baby refuses her bottles as she doesn’t like the taste of it!

Just anxious to try it, don’t want her to get used to it and then refuse bottles again after two weeks of using (correct me if I’m wrong but I’ve read you use it for 2 weeks max)

TIA 🙂

Car seat crying

My 6 month old PANICS the second I put him in a car seat and screams, cries, chokes and recently even projectile vomited on a 14 minute drive. It’s gotten to the point I don’t even bring him out unless it’s to a doctors appointment. I’m a stay at home mom with no family in my state and it has been very isolating. We’ve tried 3 different car seats with no improvement. Has anyone had a baby who hated the car seat? Any advice? This started at 3 months. I will add it does seem worse when he’s tired. He does cry on every trip though. He only contact naps and co sleeps so he reaches for me and will not sleep in the car seat.

Naps

How is everyone doing for naps?

Little one is 9 months old and will have 2 half hour naps and one solid 1 hour - 2 hour nap a day

Then settles for night around 9pm. Wakes for a feed around 3:30 then sleeps until 6-7

Sex post C section

Hi ladies I’m 4 weeks 5 days postpartum and I had a C section. I’m not bleeding properly anymore just some brownish discharge stuff that starts on and off. I’d like to do the deed with my partner; is it okay to do so or shall I wait the full 6 weeks. I feel up for it but also worried because the advice is 6-8 weeks.
