Milicon drop reaction

Hi there! Has anyone else experienced this? My baby boy is about to be 3 months soon. He has struggled with very bad acid reflux and has terrible gas. I started with milicon drops a couple of weeks ago and I have noticed that my baby will spit up so much more after giving it to him. The drops help with his gas but then he is throwing up all day. It doesn’t seem to bother him but I have to watch him even closer so he doesn’t choke on his spit up. Does anyone else’s baby do this? Or should I stop giving him the drops all together? Could the medicine trigger his acid reflux? His dr said that he is gaining weight just fine and that everything else seems okay.

I did not have luck with the gas drops. I changed formula and it helped. We have prescribed acid reflux meds and those really helped him.

My little boy had HORRENDOUS reflux, every meal he’d throw up even after eating solids! Only stopped for good when he could sit up himself! But we found that instant carobel really helped keep a lot of it down! Maybe ask about that? :)

I would consider what you are consuming like dairy if you are breastfeeding as it could make acid reflux much worse. We also keep our LO upright for 30min after feeding, we also feed him upright, we have his crib slightly tilted and make sure that he is burped probably and the last thing is you could look at is the bottles could also cause extra gas. As soon as we figured all of this out with the gas drops it all got so much better

my baby is we the exact same! gas drops seemed to help his pain w gas so we continued but it was almost as if nothing helped his reflux. we had good days and bad days, even w famodatine (prescription) it didn't go away until he was well into solids, maybe sitting up. we did all the things, kept him up for 30 mins minimum after every meal, titled mattress, always upright, burped excessively, etc. it's just a chapter. when baby is out of it, you'll feel like all the things you did to help ease their pain was still the right thing to do. i'd continue using it

Help! First time mum -

I have a 4 month old and now all of a sudden when he’s been asleep for 1hr30/2hrs he will wake up screaming (high pitched) I’ve tried winding him sometimes that helps, I’ve tried bicycle legs & bringing his knees up but that doesn’t seem to help but he brings his knees up himself sometimes but nothing happens. I’ve noticed since the 4 month mark he has started to struggle passing wind downwards! Any tips?

Breastfeeding

Does it ever feel better? The actual feeding part of it is going really well and baby boy is growing so well. I’m struggling with how my boobs feel day to day - it’s really getting me down most days. The let downs make me feel awful and sounds silly but, I am also really missing not wearing a bra! 9 weeks postpartum and still getting fairly engorged, even with comfort pumping.

Any advice or just shared stories would help. I’m so torn between carrying on because I enjoy the feeding side of it or switching to formula.

Bath Time

Help! My baby is 3 and a half weeks old. Every bath she goes in quite happy but will only stay like this for a very few mins, if I try to clean her or move her we have tears and after a few mins the same. It's like she is scared. Our current baby bath is quite big should I try a different one? Looking for any suggestions as want her to enjoy bath time not be upset and I'm scared I'm going to make her hate it😢💗

Big nursing bras!

I’m looking for recommendations for good nursing bras for bigger breasted ladies!

I’m currently in a 38H which seems to be the biggest size done at M&S (UK based mama here) and it’s snug and not as supportive as I’d like. When I look online, they mainly seem to be sized S, M, L, XL etc rather than bra sizes.

Any recommendations please?

Strange question

Hello. I would identify myself as asexual but yes i am married and i have a child. But now that ive had my baby. I think its solidified that im done having sex. I feel bad as my partner keeps asking me but i just dont want to. Any advice on what i can do? Any other asexual moms out there? I guess this could be confusing but im not huge on being bound by a label. I have just always felt it represented me best since highschool.
