Wow. I learn something new every day! I thought it had to be all the time like it was with DD1. It probably is it then, as when it does happen she acts exactly the same as DD1 did. Boo. At least it doesn't seem as bad as DD1s. That's something I guess!
Yes, reflux is cyclic - thats why so many reflux mumma's question themselves so much and think they must be crazy as their baby will be so unsettled and then fine the next. I am a volunteer for the Reflux infants support association, we have a website with lots of good information if you are interested and looking for support.
My DD screamed, cried and never slept 24/7, my son never was as bad, not sure if it was that his was managed early on or if he would never had got to the samr stage my daughter did. My daughter had silent reflux, where my son was/is a major spewer! completely different, but reflux and in pain just the same.
Yeah ds symptoms aren't constant either. We seem to have what I call reflux days. Those days leaving the house is hard as he is just miserable and feeding is a nightmare but then we have other days that he is quite comfortable and a happy bubba. Sometimes it makes me feel like I'm going loopy and imagining the reflux and I'm sure others think I'm being over the top until they see us on a bad day. I hope you can get what ever is causing her discomfort sorted soon.
I remember telling people about my DD always having reflux but then she would get "episodes" which could last days or weeks where she was really bad. I now know these are called "reflux flares"
That's good to know razzberry. I start thinking I have done something wrong and wonder what I have eaten to set him off when I know my diet has not changed. It's certainly a horrible thing reflux.
Thank you all for your information. I guess a trip to the doc might be in order then. I wonder who's likely to believe me more, the paediatrician that diagnosed it with DD1 but agreed that DD2 didn't seem to have it this time, or my GP?
Just go to your GP and say you think she has reflux and you'd like some losec etc. My DS2 got reflux but it only ever affected him at night - lucky me! he was like Jeckyl and Hyde.
Id go to the Gp first, and then the paediatrician for a review, if no joy, then I would get another opinion. Sadly medical professionals dont all have good training and knowledge of reflux symptoms and how to treat it.
