PLEASE HELP

Hey!! I did everything under the sun. Genuinely. She would scream in pain ALL DAY AND. NIGHT. It was traumatic and heartbreaking. Her obs were normal. She gained weight. Turns out my girl had silent reflux. Keeping milk down was painful for her.

I stopped breast feeding and started her on anti reflux formula (it’s thicker than normal milk/formula). Changed our life! It was literally an instant difference. We fed her and kept her upright for 15 mins before laying down too! We didn’t need to use any other meds on the side. She is now 15 months. It’s practically non existing and she’s happy. Don’t give up and keep pushing for answers.

Even trying to cut dairy can help

I had this with my boy, it turned out to be silent reflux, Infacol and Gripe Water didn’t do much for him. Could this be a possibility for your baby? The doctor gave him infant Gaviscon but the only thing that really helped was Omeprazole.

I am going through this with my 10 week old is confirmed CMPA and silent reflux c

This happened with my first born. Turned out he had a tongue tie that was affecting his ability to get enough milk from my breasts! He was working SO HARD for it and was slowly losing weight. I switched to pumping and got him on a bottle with a flat nipple and that really helped him ❤️ did yall check for tongue tie?

Sadly I tried most things and none of it worked until he went onto solid foods at 5 months. I started to add baby rice to his bottle at 4 months which helped a bit. We paid for a ciropractor which did help a bit!

Honestly it was horrible & I’m so sad for you & bubba but you will get through it ❤️❤️ good luck - feel free to msg whenever you want x

We went through this with our little one, turned out to be silent reflux and a lactose allergy. We also went to see an osteopath and found out that her spine was pulled quite tight due to a fast delivery and that definitely helped with the colic! It can also help with reflux which we found to be the case.
You can order a gripe belt from Amazon which you pop in the microwave and then place on their belly to help with some discomfort
Definitely push for answers! I was told by 4 GPs that there wasn’t anything wrong and one even said ‘some babies just cry’ but I pushed and managed to get some answers!

Infacol made my baby so much worse

We used a dummy which helped stop her taking in so much air when she cried

Reflux did this to my little girl. Infacol and gripe water won’t do much if this is reflux as it combines the air and actually makes the babies more uncomfortable as they pass it, as reflux babies are better to bring up wind in tiny bits.

We used a milk thickener (carobel) and it almost completely eliminated the problem for us. This can be used if breast feeding or formula feeding. We originally tried gaviscon off the drs but she hated it, and I wasn’t comfortable putting her on omeprazole so I’m thankful it didn’t come down to that xx

Could have a cows milk allergy, my nieces were like this and had to have their milk prescribed by their dr! Made a huge difference

Is he breastfed?
Do lots of skin to skin while being slightly upright

We went to an osteopath she really helped as my daughter she didn’t like lying flat either and was so irritable that alongside gaviscon to help with milk coming back up did help but also time which is the worst but honestly by 8ish weeks she was suddenly a happier baby
