Reflux/ gas

Hey everyone, Has anyone else experienced reflux in their baby when they lay them down no matter how long after they’ve had a feed? We’re also going through trapped and uncomfortable gas despite my boy passing wind often and pooing - help

Gas exercises, more burping in between feeds, ask Dr for meds to help, lay them down elevated, on the belly or the side to help with the reflux and more tummy time and random burping and feed upright. Ask Dr for more advice.

Yes! My LG was like this for the first couple of months of her life and it was debilitating! Nothing like infacol worked for us. We had to get infant gaviscon prescribed by the gp and ever since she’s been a completely different baby x

Aptamil comfort formula and tommiee tippy straw bottles with size 1 teat this will help with colic and trap wind xx also lots of tummmy massages and leg movements to support x

When feeding afterwards just put her on your knees up when your sitting down facing you and stay up right still for 30mins xx

Stay away from infacol and any support gas medication as it can make it worse, I had 11 weeks of hell and when back to normal and just used the formula X

I spoke to my gp today who prescribed infant Gaviscon, my pharmacy had none in stock so I went to my next nearest pharmacy who then said they didn’t want to release the medication as they don’t recommend it for babies 4 weeks old 😭😭😭

Curious if the gaviscon has worked for you since using it? I feel like our boy spends all of his awake time crying from reflux and I really want something to help him 😔 we do all the things they tell you (paced feeding, keeping upright, frequent winding) but it doesn't seem to make a difference.

Colostrum storing?

Has anyone successfully extracted colostrum before the baby’s born? Apparently it gets produced from 16w pregnant and you can start storing it in the freezer but I’m 34w looking at my nipples and the syringes on amazon wondering how it works?? Like what did you use and did it hurt? 🥲

Self settling

Any tips or advice of how to teach 6.5month old to self settle? I’m up multiple times in the night to cuddle her back to sleep and put the dummy in. I understand she will wake up and want a cuddle etc but any tips on self settling would be appreciated 🥰

Baby losing weight

Hi all, it's been a long time since I had a baby (my son is 15!). My daughter is 10 days old and was 9lb born, she has since lost weight at every appointment and is at a 12% loss. I am breast feeding every two hours for over an hour and topping her up every feed. I pump and can get 60ml in 10 minutes so I know my supply is okay. Anyone had this before? Can give me some tips? I currently feel like I'm letting my baby down.

Did I overreact?

I have had 3 c sections, recently had a wisdom teeth removal (4) to be exact and all my mom did was visit the day BEFORE and then she only sent 1 text. She has NEVER spent one full day with me and doesn’t acknowledge my achievements much. She just isn’t there when I need her to be. She claims she’s always working but she lives like 7 minutes away! she can come help with the kids so my husband can have break? we don’t ask her for much and she only sees the kids 1-2 a month. She also didn’t visit with my last c section. I told her that she should’ve gotten the abortion when she had the chance with me because why would you have me and neglect me emotionally? To not actually give me a present father in my life. I am very angry all she does is disappoint me. She only wants to show up for certain people in the family and I just want to grab her and shake her and ask her why can’t she be a good present mother?
