Jac, just going back to your original post, how are YOU feeling about all this? You mentioned that you are sick of crying all the time.

My little one has reflux too, and I, like you, spend most of our feeds (and the rest of the day) in tears. For me, it has gotten to the point where I have sought treatment for myself, not just for my baby, as I was worried that all my stress/depression/anxiety with respect to the reflux was (1) seriously affecting my milk supply and let-down and (2) affecting my ability to bond with my baby.

Are you getting any help for you? Not necessarily pharmaceutical help, but help? Talking to someone? Practical help around the house? Maybe pharmaceutical help if you need it.

I've asked my MCHN nurse to refer me to the child health psychologist, who I'm seeing for the first time this Thursday. Jambin's paed also has referred ME back to my GP to discuss my depression, as she says it's not her expertise, but is obviously becoming a problem because of Jambin's feeding problems and reflux issues. My in-laws also drove down to stay with us for a couple of days, to give me a break and help out with the practical stuff, such as laundry, cooking, minding Jambin while I had a sleep. Having someone help me with the domestic chores helped me have more emotional stamina to deal with the reflux challenges. In my experience, Jambin's reflux has affected me as much as him, and I think it's important to have a 2-pronged attack to managing it.

Hugs to you sweets
