How are the reflux symptoms going for you? I just reread my post to you and oh my how things have changed. Harper too has silent reflux and it got quite bad around the 5 week mark. The wrap stopped working, nothing was working and we were having evenings of screaming and bub writhing in pain/uncomfortableness. She'd fall asleep, swallow and then wake up screaming again. She never vomited and could go barely 2 hours between feeds. I spoke to my health nurse and was told it's 'normal' so i kept putting up with it but after a full week of not settling until 10pm (when she was finally exhausted) i'd had enough, it was so difficult to see my baby so uncomfortable and not be able to do anything about it. So we went to the dr's, i explained the symptoms and he said 'it "sounds" like slilent reflux, we can give her some zantac and see how it goes, it can't halm her' reasuring diagnosis hey???? But i was pretty sure that's what we were dealing with so we begun giving her that, the improvement was slow but it has made an improvement. We've had about 2 whole weeks of no real reflux symptoms at all, wind on the other hand can cause just as much discomfort but that's a whole other thread.
I just wanted to see how you were going and that i really do feel for you, i was confused enough 3rd time around if what bub was doing was 'normal' so i have no idea how you as a first time mum felt trying to figure out how to help your little one. I hope for you things have settled and you have a happy bub. Now we just have to be game enough to wean them soon and hope that they may have grown out of it.
