Hi Saph,

Thanks for that, although sorry to hear about your DS's chronic reflux - hope the op fixes him right up.

Given the responses to my post and a bit of reading up, I've come to the conclusion that DS can't have reflux ... at the time of typing my original post I was a bit stressy as DS had refused breast on and off all weekend, and he was spewing up a fair bit of milk (when he did choose to feed). As nothing else seemed to fit, I wondered if he had reflux.

It seems quite a few bubs turn their nose up at the breast sometime between 8 and 16 weeks, and then happily go back to the boob. So it appears his behaviour was atypical of many babies, from what I can gather.

Anyway, DS is happily BFing again. He still throws up a bit after most feeds, and he refused the boob again a couple of times during the weekend just gone, but on the whole he's his old self. Happy also to lie on his back whenever put down, and I assume if he had reflux he'd hate to lie on his back much.

Thanks for the help and advice!
Andie
