Hey Renstar

Sorry you have had a tough time. Reflux is horrible- I feel your pain!

Just to give you some hope, my DD was a nasty refluxer (needed Losec for 10 months). But despite that, our bf journey is still going strong at 21 months! But yes, I agree reflux can make feeding a bit harder. I think you need a lot of patience (to persist through all the screaming, and to sit there and keep them upright for as long as possible after feeds..etc etc). It is a bit more time consuming IYKWIM. I can remember times when our DD would be screaming at me during a feed and I would be looking at DH, while crying, and thinking to myself I CAN'T DO IT! But, being on Losec was a life saver.. Before that we would have hours of screaming

I know medication is not the ideal situation. I must admit I hated the thought of DD being on it for so long, but the fact is she needed it. Reflux is such a painful thing for them, so try not to feel to bad if she needs to stay on it, don't rush it, as it is much worse to have them in pain all the time.

I think the thing that helped us, secondly to the Losec, was just always having her upright. Feeding upright as possible, upright after feeds, sleeping etc.

Hope things really improve from now onwards for you guys. You sound like a wonderful mum x
