Alz - We suspected reflux in my little one (we were VERY lucky that it wasnt!) but I can understand where you are coming from a little. I have a very clingy baby who cries if she is not being held or carried. By not drinking alot what do you mean? ONly takes a small bottle? or only a few times a day? It all depends on how much he is drinking over a 24 hr period. I was stressing cause my bub only took 80 mls at some feeds but after keeping a diary I realised that she was drinking sufficient. They say as long as bubs is gaining weight then they are getting enough.
My little ones cries a lot when put in her crib. Its all just a matter of timing when we get her in there. Did the Dr suggest elevating the head of the crib a little. We did this even though bub doesnt have reflux and she settles quicker now.
My only advice to you is that you have to figure out what works for bub best and go with that. I now keep a journal of what she has done during the day and how happy she was with this and that and (cause I have a bit of baby brain), I look over it every couple of days and try something again. You just never know what is going to work.
All the ladies on here are lovely and everyone will be supportive of you. Keep your chin up!
Just saw your other post. I read a little about Nan HA and see that it is not really an "anti reflux" formula in that it is not thickened jsut easier to digest. Are you using a thickener as well? Maybe try one of the AR formulas? I dont know - I'm not a Dr. I went and talked to my pharmacist when I suspected Reflux and he gave us a whole range of things to try - but as I said I was lucky - no reflux, just a guts!
