Big hugs! Reflux is so tough on everyone!

After a rough trot until 10 weeks, DD was diagnosed with silent reflux by her pediatrician - the gp was useless!! He prescribed Losec and literally overnight we had a different baby - it was unbelievable! At first I crushed the tablets and gave them to DD mixed with water through a syringe. That was annoying and time consuming so we got onto the suspension form (expensive and only available at select pharmacies - only 2 in Perth) and it was so much easier for all of us. DD took to it really well and for memory, we weaned her around 4 months.

I also wore DD in a sling most of the time for day sleeps. She really struggled with day sleeps and the reflux didn't help. We also stopped using our bassinet attachment on our pram at 9 weeks and she was much happier in the normal seat in the pram, albeit a little tiny! LOL!

We also bought a hammock and DD loved that for day sleeps for about 5 weeks - but that was it I'm sure our future babies will love it though!

Strangely enough DD was a brilliant night sleeper (sleeping through at 9 weeks!!) but her paed said that was common for silent reflux babies and he had seen it quite a lot in his patients.

Before I forget, I BF DD until she was 2 weeks shy of one year One of the girls in my mum's group put her DD on formula early on which only made her DD's reflux so much worse (she was a super spewer!!) and it disappeared literally overnight when she put her on cows milk. Every baby is different.

I think the Losec was our life saver though. We couldn't believe the difference and how quickly it worked.

Good luck, it's tough
