Silent reflux
Any advice is needed!
Little boy is 4 months next week and we have been struggling with this for at least 2 months now 😫 the last thing we have tried is infant gaviscon which helped for two weeks and then the constipation started badly. We have decided to come off that and just go back to his milk with nothing in. Which has helped him poo. His reflux is slowly coming back, he’s not being sick he’s just so uncomfortable all day screams in pain. Anyone got any advice to what steps are next? 😫😫😫

I was in the same position as you so I can totally relate. My little one ended up being prescribed omeprazole which was the only thing that seemed to help. It didn’t get rid of the silent reflux completely, but I was able to get slightly more milk into my little one. Things improved massively once we started weaning x
My son struggled with this and eventually at 4 months we figured out it was a milk allergy. Removed dairy and he was a completely different baby, even started gaining weight, eczema disappeared and I could actually put him down whereas I'd spent months sleeping sat up holding him x
Our health visitor said baby omeprazole will work better than gaviscon go to the docs and maybe ask about it
Have you tried anti reflux formula?x
My little girl suffers with it too, we’ve found cow and gate anti reflux formula has helped, feeding her sat up and having her upright for 30 minutes after feeds and a anti reflux cushion to keep her feet elevated x
The joie swing has also been a godsend as I also have a 1 year old to run around after so I can pop little girl in the swing sat upright xx

Sleep
My baby boy is 14 weeks and recently has been getting up earlier and earlier in the morning, he goes to bed 7-7.30pm and wakes once or twice in the night and wakes up at 7.. but now it’s 6am, 5.30, 5.15am. Any advice please, is he going to bed too early?

My office is in the nursery
Hi all, this is very much a first world problem but thought it doesn’t hurt to ask. Our house is very small and so my PC/desk is in the nursery and the room is kind of split in half, I use it to game and create crafts on the side which I sell. Usually, I do this when baby goes to bed around 7pm as he’s not sleeping in that room yet and I get a good few hours every night and honestly I love this time it just makes me feel human again. Soon, our son is going to have to move into that room and I’m worried this means I won’t be able to use the room anymore in the evening as I literally have no where else in the house my desk can go. I just wondered if anyone was in a similar situation and either tried to use the room quietly and if that worked?

Any advice on baby sleeping in the next to me? My 2 week old will sleep so well on me but when I transfer he does half the time or will wake up straight away. 👶

Speaking up about PPD
Hey I had a situation today with my therapist. I really trusted her and spoke up about how I was feeling after holding it in for a while because it felt scary to talk about. My therapist reassured me that my feelings are normal after birth and that I would not get into trouble. I asked her 4x in therapy if the way I was feeling would get me in trouble and she reassured me I was not. Today she calls me and tells me I have to go to the ER or I will have crisis at my house. I had no plans. I had no intent . I only discussed an intrusive thought at an overwhelming moment. It was just scary. However I know I wouldn’t act on it. I was
More scared that my mind thought of that intrusive thought. My mom’s a nurse and she has told me this was wrong. The thing that bothers me about this whole situation is that there really is no support after birth for PPD and no one talks about it to prepare you for when it happens to you. I don’t feel like the healthcare and justice systems do a great job at making women feel they can speak up. My therapist ruined the idea of therapy being a safe space, she lost all of my trust, and now I don’t feel like I can speak to doctors or another therapist again. I see a psychatrist next week and I’m just horrified now to tell him anything- small or big.
My therapist worked on teaching me to speak up to healthcare professionals and not allowing myself to be dismissed. She didn’t tell me at the end of the therapy session that she was thinking I was unsafe. When she called me today she didn’t explain why she was sending me to the ER, after being in therapy the day before being reassured it’s all normal, I’m not crazy and she said word for word “I don’t see the need for any legal intervention.” Then why did Crisis show up at my door today?
Has anyone else gone through this? I’m having a a hard time wanting to post this , but I feel so betrayed by my therapist. I want to speak and talk to someone but now I don’t feel I can. I kinda feel small and in a corner.

breast/formula feeding
Mums who CHOOSE not to breastfeed because they simply just don’t want to (even with a milk supply) why don’t you pump instead of using formula???
this isn’t an attack! just asking out of curiosity!
