With the reflux and colic - ALOT of bubs who have reflux have colic aswell as they are constantly crying which upsets their tummies creating more wind and also because of the acid. Reflux on its on just means a baby who spews, silent reflux means it doesnt come up and out of the mouth. There are bubs who have reflux which doesn't bother them (just creates alot of mess), however bubs who have acid reflux show the symptoms of being uncomfortable and in pain - crying, screaming, not sleeping, waking up frequently from sleep or not sleeping for long, screaming when put down, wanting to be held upright when awake and asleep, wanting to feed frequently as it soothes their throat at first but then the pain comes after, throwing her head back and lying/ sleeping in weird positions with neck at a weird angle. For my DD (who you know still has silent reflux at 2.5years old) she put on heaps on weight at first but then she got smarter and worked out that feeds were hurting her and then she stopped wanting to feed, was very fussy, pulling off, clenching her lil fists and feet and tensing her whole body, then she stopped putting on weight and growing in length also. She then had physio - for the low muscle tone, but also because she didn't know how to isolate her muscles as she was always tense from the pain and expectant pain. Reflux is something you want to get treatment for as soon as possible as it can create more problems. I know how stressed and sleep deprived you are at the moment and am offering my support to you as a fellow sleep deprived, stressed out mumma, wish I lived closer so I could you give you some real life support.
As for your DS, I am sorry reading the posts made you more worried, but for me, my anxiety about DD just made things worse. I really hope you can get into a good specialist/doc who will listen and respond to all of your concerns quickly. Has his daycare mentioned anything to you about his behaviour? I know he has only been going a few weeks but they can be a good starting point, maybe talk to the teacher about your concerns. Quite often they are a good starting point and can point you in the direction of early intervention services and know the right people to get things done!
