yes she was put on losac yesterday so hopefully as with your little bub in time she will become the happy smiling girl ive always wanted. I have also tried everything else they have recommended like elevating the cot and change table and keeping her upright but to no avail. I am actually in hospital with her now for a different reason but all the nurses have commented that they are pretty sure its reflux i am going to be pushing for a barium swallow test. Thankyou for your story it gives me a glimmer of hope that i will have a happy baby soon
My bub has had tummy issues, and you can definitely tell the difference between when she is unsettled and when there is no colic/reflux. Hope you get some smiles soon!
yep - I had a colicy refluxy baby as well and we didn't get many smiles. When we made all the changes, different formula, raising cot, change table, sitting as upright as we could we still didn't get many. I eventually worked out that when I was looking at her I was frowning, waiting for something to happen - I wasn't smiling at her So every morning I spent half an hour just smiling at her, singing her songs and then in the evening, I gave her a massage singing songs and smiling.
We then got smiles and laughs and everyone in the family was much happier. I don't want to say that you aren't smiling at your DD enough, but that is what was happening to us. I didn't know I wasn't smiling until someone pointed it out to me. With DD2 I smiled a lot more and even though she also had reflux we got smiles much earlier
