I am very convinced she definitely has reflux because she has about every symptom. She takes hours and hours to settle and when we do finally settle her she only sleeps for short periods. When I lie her down I can hear the milk coming back up her throat. She often chokes and coughs on it. She makes gulping noises constantly. She grunts and squirms in her sleep. She is badly congested and her voice goes hoarse when crying. She's fussy on the boob and doesn't feed well and she is stiff to hold and arches constantly. I don't want her on the gaviscon long term and it seems relief doesn't last long with it anyway so I think we will have to go back to the doctors. I'll try a different one I think because the doctor we saw was hopeless. I have 4 kids under 6 and I'm finding it really difficult with her barely settling and next to no sleep so I just want her to be pain free.
We started with Mylanta, and then to losec. ds was breastfed and I would give it to him in a syringe. Mylanta was in liquid form and I gave it undiluted. Losec was tablets that I dissolved in water.
