Update about dropping DS down to half his meds................no can do, hes been feeding 2 hrly again and fidgeting and unsettled again over night, so going back to the 2 tablets a day (20mg).

EJ- Yes its been a very big process of trial and error thats for sure but i feel we really are on the right track now. Isnt it strange how they go from not spitting up to doing it a little way in? DS started vomitting too much for my liking, i was changing his clothes 4 times a day and soaking a bib at every feed. Yes, u cant change ur method of feeding absolutely I tried bfing him but wasnt successful, i see now though its been hard enough getting him sorted out and settled that hes better on formula and that makes me feel a bit less bad about not bfing him (i did beat myself up about not bfing him for quite awhile), thats so good that ur bfing isnt causing issues with ur little one though .

It sure does show that some of these symptoms are always something we should just "put up with"..................well really, its our poor little ones that are the ones putting up with it and its not fair on them. So many medical professionals saying its normal.......i knew it wasnt, but because they kept saying it was, i kept moving my focus away from reflux. I know there is some element of normality with unsettled newborns, but the ones that go into the next level should be looked at properly. Thank goodness for this wonderful network of mums who have been through or are going through the same things, otherwise i think i would still have an unsettled baby. I agree, it is so good that we can all help each other
