LO with Reflux? Constant swallowing when flat on back. Help!

LO has slept in his carseat/carrier since the first couple nights home- it was the only way he would sleep at first.  I'm trying to get him to sleep flat on his back in the cradle now, and all I hear is swallowing from him.  I'm wondering if he has a reflux or something.  I know he won't settle into sleep when he's swallowing constantly and I also don't want him to choke.  I really don't want him to continue sleeping in the carrier either.  I'm afraid he might turn his face into the side and not be able to breathe.  Should I call his pedi about possible reflux?  Has anyone's LO had issues with this before and what did you do for sleeping?  Thanks so much!

  • You should go get a rock-n-play sleeper. That is what DS sleeps in and if your LO does have reflux then I would think it would help.

  • I would call the Pedi with your concerns.  LO doesn't do the swallowing thing, but he acts like he is going to spit up and then kind of chokes.  Pedi diagnosed him with reflux today.
