We've been having a really bad day. DS has only been feeding about 20-30mls of EBM every couple oh hours since about 2.30am. He is hungry but just can't drink. I left a message for the paediatrician but he hasn't phoned back. I'm sure he thinks I"m neurotic.
I think I might go to the Children's Hospital if DS doesn't take more milk and if the paediatrician doesn't phone back..
I've been in tears most of the day as I just don't know what to do and where to turn. I don't know if I"m over reacting by going to the hospital. It's just I don't know what to do.

Do you have a gp? My gp is fantastic, she diagnosed dd with reflux and started her on losec. We also take her to a chiro that specialises in babies

My DD1 was like this - small amounts quite often. I don't think she got above 50ml at a feed until she was about 4 months old? Maybe his medicine needs to be adjusted? Hugs honey - its hard work, but you are NOT neurotic and I'm sure your doc doesn't think so either, you just want your baby to be happy - and there is nothing at all wrong with that.
Try to have some time out, have a cuppa or something xxxx

Hey all! Have a few spare mins to reply while H is asleep and Bella is eating and watching playschool!
Everything going along ok here! Had my and H's 6 week check up today and he is perfect ( ofcourse!!) he does have reflux which I suspected as bella had it too, so getting sone losec suspension made up by the chemist in Melbourne and sent down., get it on Saturday. He only had a mild case so we can wait.
I have a gyno appoint tomorrow to check how my tear has healed!
H is only waking once a night now for a feed so getting a bit more sleep, well if Bella sleeps through we do lol!
Taking H to see a Bowen therapist soon to get his neck worked on as he tends to turn one way and has a flat spot, same as Bella did so not to worried about it this time!
Hope ur all well

Hugs Lisa. Do whatever you think is right.
Well all these reflux babies on losec and our dr gave us... Bugger all
She said she doesn't believe it helps so won't prescribe it. I'm a bit p.o'd
Registered User
Not even Zantac Jak? Gaww thats a bit rough!!! I'm pretty sure its helping here, when I give it to her, I hear her tummy gurgle and she starts frothing at the mouth.. LOL.. I guess its the acid being neutralised that makes her froth.
Hi Kate!!! Hope your tear is ok. I'm not sure who I'm going to go see to get mine checked out. Definitely not my GP cos he is a tosser.

louise/mel/sarah: thanks for the advice
lisa: have they gotten to the bottom of why he can't drink? poor little mite. If you are worried don't feel embarassed by taking him to the hospital, better to do that and be told he is ok than worry about him for days.
jaki: so W has reflux too??? all these poor little bubbies. I agree with Kylz can you go see another dr that will actually try and help.
kate: H sounds like he is doing awesome!!! Hope your tear is all good, ouchies!!
ferrals: how was ella today??? is she getting better now that she has the stuff to help with her reflux??
tonight we are sleeping at lolo and lolas house as my mum is flying back to the philippines tomorrow for a month and she wanted Chase to come wsee her offim so sad, im scarily dependant on my mother as in, she probably sees chase more than DH does because she is over for hours every couple of days and I'm pretty sure i eat at her place at least twice a week too. I'll have to cook for myself!!! the humanity!! lol

Just got home from the hospital. They are taking it seriously. I have to go in tomorrow at 6pm for them to look at him again. If he still isn't feeding they are going to give serious consideration to admitting him and doing a feeding tube.
One nurse said I might have to stop the EBM and go onto formula. I don't want to do that. I've come so far with expressing and feel it's right for me and my DS. I do completely respect the ladies who are using formula so please don't think I don't.
I'm feeling overwhelmed and the doctor validated my feelings and suggested that DP stay home tomorrow.

Lisa, hope your little man is ok
Kitty, im sure you will be fine, its good to hear your mum helps you out.
try make this quick as i have a tired 1yo clawing at my handshad a big day today, met Tenibear and Rockingbaker in the city, went to the museaum milly is so cute!
made it home just on time to pick ds up, then the health nurse pulled me up walking pastshould have taken the long way home. put A on the scales, NOT HQAPPY she has put on 30g in the last week, man didnt i cop a ear full, i just wanted to go home, feed the kids and go to bed, but ds2 locked himself in the toilet and couldnt unlock it, the hour it took for someone to come take the lock apart and get him out i had to deal with her talking about this and that and how im starving her, blah blah...
i caved got a tin of formula, she had a botle at 5, and is still asleep so im probably going to be up with her most the night, as this is usualy her awake/tummy time. when i burped her, she had alot of trouble getting it up
i can still bf after shes had formula yeah? sorry dumb question just i never went back after the first bottle with the others and i realy dont want to give up now. if i didnt get stuck there i wouldnt have gone to the shop and wouldnt be in this pickle.
apparently she is starving therefore its the reason she wont sleep in the cradle, funny how she will sleep fine in her sisters bed!
sorry to off load on you all. 1yo now asleep, ahh theres a positive!

Sarah - of course u can go back to bf after formula. I put Luke on formula for 2 weeks as I has nipple thrush and they were severly cracked and bleeding and got him back on the boob after they had healed. I had a lot of people tell me that I'll never get him back on put he did. The only thing is I can't remember how I kept my supply up as it was that long ago
Lisa- so glad they are taking u serious and I hope ur lil man starts feeding real soon
Hi to everyone else

Hi ladies.
Lisa-glad the hospital is taking it serious but i hope it's nothing major and they sort it out for you.
Jaki-Ella only has mild reflux but the zantac definately makes a difference she dosent wake every time she is laid down if she regurgitates now it doesnt bother her my doctor said in a month to lower the dose and try to wean her off it.
If you are not happy with your doctor get another opinion.
Kitty-Ella is much better now i am pretty sure it was from the rota virus syrup she had the runs and was just not well for a few days.
I miss my mum to when she goes away and she usually goes to america every 2nd year.
AFM-Ella had a good day so i think she is back to normal now she slept from 5:30 until 11:30 6hrs and then woke for a bottle at 3:30am and went back to sleep.
We have the reflux pretty much sorted out except the thickened formula it keeps getting blocked in the teat and i have tried the fast flow and she gets real windy from it so today i am not going to thicken her formula and see how much she keeps down.
Does anyone else thicken their bubs formula or use AR formulas?
Registered User
Sarah you'll be fine hun, just give her the boobie then a formula top up. Hugs.
Lisa so glad your getting some help and being taken seriously!
Ferrals I think it's quite common to thicken formula or ebm with relax babies. The dr told me to but I don't want to get back in the habit of expressing unless I really have to.
We are off to see a movie today! The Adam sandler/ Jen aniston one. There is a little mining town 40 klms from here that does morning tea and mum and Bub movies in their cultural centre
