Losing it - Breastfeeding and day sleep problems

[mir]

Just reading through the this thread looking for ideas to increase my little ones day sleeps and i thought i might mention re reflux and weight gain. DS weight gain has been really good and consistent since birth he has reflux but doesnt throw up just brings it up into his throat and back down, (you can hear him coughing/gagging sometimes) so although he doesnt lose weight he found feeding quite painful cause it would burn hid throat on the the way back up, of course then he'd want to feed again cause the milk on the way down soothed it made for some very frustrating days/weeks before we figured out what was wrong. so anyway what i meant to say was that reflux might still be the issue despite good weight gain

Edit: i also meant to say that mylanta didn't really help much but zantac seems to be doing the trick oh and we to did not have a dummy but introduced one and noticed a difference..... found out afterwards that the dummy is helping by a)soothing him through sucking and b) the sucking action helps to keep the reflux down
