Thanks Caro, I haven't been checking in as much, the whole house has been sick over the last couple of weeks, Now to top it off, we all have the flu, not so much fun with a refluxer.
Ngala, just re reading, if she is 4 weeks and is getting progressively worse, then I would definately get her to a doctor and ask to try some zantac, which is usually the first med they will prescibe and works for a lot of refluxers, sometimes though it isn't enough and you will need to try a different medication, but try the zantac first. I hope it helps.
The other things you can try is raising the cot or basinette, holding upright after feeds for an hour, use a baby carrier, using a hypoallergenic formula (like the Nan HA) or if you are breasfeeding, taking dairy and soy out of your diet can make a big difference.
Good luck, I know how hard this time is, but it will get better, it just takes a bit of sorting out.
