Well after a shocker night i went and ticked off a heap of symptoms of silent reflux to.
She had a bottle at 6pm and then cried until 8pm would only settle in her bouncer in an upright position then i put her to bed because she was asleep WELL she woke 2 minutes later and screamed and screamed so DH got her and put her in the bouncer where she slept until 12 then i fed her she played up for 10-15 minutes then slept at 2am she had a scream for 5 minutes got her dummy and she settled then at 3am more screaming for 30 minutes gave her the dummy she settled then 4am another episode until 4:30 where i gave her a bottle put her back to bed asleep and 5 minutes later she woke crying took until 5:30 to get her to sleep.
She has progressively got worse and here i was thinking it was colic and 8 formulas later i now am sure it is reflux she has all the textbook symptoms.
I rang my doctor 5min ago and have an appointment on wed in the mean time we are going to try the infant gaviscon.
Maybe that would explain all those uncomfortable noises she makes when trying to sleep.
These are her symptoms
Fussy feeding
arching back and neck and screaming every feed
pulling off the bottle and crying
Gulping her bottle
Big weight gain from comfort feeding
constant hiccups
wet burps
unsettled when laying down flat (we have her bed tilted)
Watery spew
constant swallowing when laying down
Constant sucking
Hoarse voice
Seems uncomfortable
Parents intuition something is wrong
Iona-Ella is always bringing up watery vomit and swallowing it back down.
