I am back to the land of the living!

Basically We have spent time at the Royal childrens Hospital (Fathers Day!) & then yesterday at the Angliss where Zyon was born...
Finally being told yesterday he has silent reflux & he si now on Gaviscon & I have an appt to see someone tomorrow about it! I am like Mel, kicking myself for listening to ****ers who dont know or feeling like a neurotic Mummy & not trusting my instincts!

Mel,
I was told at the RCH that he was simply a needy baby, with beahvioural problems as we have always tended to his cries!!!! She also said she thought he was Lactose Intolerant, but it's now deemed UN TRUE! She had also told me to give up the breast & give him Lactose free formula which I did Sunbday night & Monday morning but after a few bottles & no difference I put him back on the breast!
So you might not really need the Lacteze, he may not REALLY be LI!???

I am so so angry at the MCHN & will let rip at her next appt, also my GP as these ppl both told me he needed settling school & sleep school as he was crying to get my attention!!! Isnt that why babies cry anyways? I was told to let him cry it out & put him self to sleep!
I never did (thank god) but I knew my son was in pain...!

Finally after sobbing to the Midwives to bring my 6wk check up earlier I went in yesterday & the lady knew immediately.. She looked at his weight gain which has been over 1.5kgs since birth, plus his sodden wet nappies, the arching of the back, hiccuping, seeming to swallow & then screech in pain & he will sleep hours & hours upright in the HAB!
So she gave me the name of a Dr to see whom I am seeing tomorrow (well her partner & if she cant give me answers they'll discuss it, as the1 I need to see is booked 3+ wks in advance!)
I saw a chiro today & he gave me some natural stuff to take that will pass through my breast milk & help mature Zy's guts & also 1 for weakening the acidity in his gut!
He has had gaviscon since Tuesday afternoon & slept 4+hours between is night feeds the last 2 night! OMG I feel brand new, we were getting 25mins at the VERY most!!!

PLEASE, trust in yourself & your instincts is all i can say. I also removed Dairy from my diet as the MW explained that the Dairy Protein sits in bubba's tummies & doesnt digest quickly like breast milk, therefore it sits there & regurgitates back & fourth causing the reflux & so no dairy for me, but she also ex-lained that after 2 yrs of age our bodies dont really absorb much calcium from Milk & it's not necessary in our diets (the commercials are because Dairy is 1 of our major commodities!)
So no milk/dairy for now...

I also am P'd off at the paed whose first comment was....... Is this your first??? Hmm, Nope #3 I smiled back! I think if I had said YES, she'd have fobbed us off, it just seemed like we were making it up!

I am so glad & relieved that I am getting answers, NO BABY SCREAMS IN PAIN 24/7! But MCHN, GP & Paed believed they do!!!

Well I havent read everyone's posts too much to catch up on..

I just wnated to share & if you think something isnt right, get it checked & if they fob you off get a nother opinion!!!!
