Belle - you poor thing! My DS has reflux as well - he is on Losec and we are just gradually trying to wean him off it now as he seems to have improved a fair bit. I did wonder if it was reflux because he sounds like my son. We took our DS to the chiropractor for a few sessions, maybe something like that may help. It is only a suggestion because i know some people dont agree with chiropractors etc, although for us the medication and chiro seemed to help, as well as raising his pram and his cot. As I said, i also spent a lot of time with DS in the baby carrier as he prefered being upright but he was a bit smaller than your son. He is only just getting to 8kg now and understand that it would be impossible to carry him around for long amounts of time.

My heart goes out to you because i felt the same way - like i couldnt go out in public in case he had a screaming fit! I had all these visions of going for long walks and sitting in cafes drinking coffee.. has only happened recently!
