Thanks so much for your replies, i really appreciate it. I will definitely take him to the drs, do you think i should do it today or can it wait till tomorrow? I did some research on the symptoms of silent reflux last night and he has so many of them, more than i realised, like coughing alot and sneezing alot and others as well. Ive been starting to think what ive done wrong to have such an instantly unsettled baby right from birth because out of 7 of them, he is the first ive had thats been like this. I feel awful for him if this is what it is as i had severe reflux when pregnant with him and episodes where i was vomitting blood from it, so i know the pain and feel bad for him and want to fix it right now for him.

Iona Macca- Funny we had the same revelations at the same time really for our boys. Was your lil man unsettled right from birth all day and all night?

EJ- Thanks, that was very helpful and comforting to read. Like you, i have been trying to ride out this supposed unsettled period that is meant to pass, but i dont see it easing, just escalating and getting worse. Im sick of people telling me his behaviour is normal too, particularly my MCHN. I couldnt beleive she saw how he behaved that day and saw that as ok, he was fidgetting, grunting, crying and arching his back and i said to her this is what he does allllll the time, she said he wants you to change his position (i had changed his position several times since we had been with her, but at the time she said that he was laying in my arms semi upright) so i put him over my shoulder and of course he settled so she saw that as thats all it was because that seemingly fixed it as far as she was concerned so she didnt take any of the other stuff into account then. And the feeding sooooooo much, it really isnt normal for a formula fed baby to be feeding 2hrly 90% of the time, which he is, yesterday morning between 2am and 10am he had 4 bottles.

I will let u know what happens at the drs.
