Reflux moms: come on in and vent!

CameraPersonCameraPerson
in Babies: 0 - 3 Months

I hate:

*diaper changes within 1hr of when she just ate. I rush and rush but still hear stuff come back up (the hiccuping and swallowing sounds). I even elevate her head, but looks like I need to elevate more.

 

*waiting 30 mins to put her back down after feeding at nighttime

*watching her choke sometimes on what comes up

*Watching her get upset when she cries cause the reflux starts.

*the hiccups can bring stuff up and I can hear her swallow it.

 

I HATE it all. It is just not fair for her!

Ah, I feel better.

    You know, everything you just post sounds like my DD and the nurse told me it was not reflux but gas. I think I need to make an appointment.

    **The fact that my 1 week old is on his way to pneumonia because he is aspirating. 

    ** The fact that I have to flip DS over 3-4 times a day because he is choking and gagging.

    ** The crying that ensues after every feed.

    ** The fact that DH thinks I'm imaging his symptoms.  Until he puked his entire bottle all over DH last night. Stick out tongue

    ** fighting the hiccups 7,000 times per day.

    ** trying to nest with a screaming baby  Smile

    You hit the nail on the head. DD is much worse at night. She also poops at every feeding. I have DH hold her and we change her in the air. Yes it sucks but it keeps everything down. DD is also colicky so nights are just pure hell!

    Ditto to everything you said and I have to add I hate the spit especially when it smells like barf. DS spits up so much even with meds and cereal in his bottle. It doesn't seem to bother him but it annoys the hell out of me.

    Just wanted to add there's a link my blog for a support forum for moms with reflux babies.  The women there are great, and completely understand everything you are going through.

    That sounded like my DS until we started Prevacid for the reflux, and Gripe Water for the hiccups.  Now he is a different baby. He still poops every feeding, but cloth diapers prevent the blowouts.  He also sleeps in his bouncy at night and on his side for naps, which has helped a ton!  It will get better, I promise.

    I couldn't agree with you more!!!!  Wow---and yeah, the waiting another 30 minutes in th emiddle of the night has been the worst (for me).  The violent hiccups--ugh.

    I hate that I tell daycare to keep him up 30 minutes after feeding and he needs to burp A LOT during his feeding since it makes it worse and I get this very strong suspicion that they aren't.

    I hate ..

    * that I can't tell whether he is still hungry or not because he thinks he constantly needs to eat to make him feel better.

    * that he lost weight at his last appointment.

    * that just when I think things are getting better, they get worse.

    * that I put him back on Reglan when I knew I shouldn't have.

    * that I wasn't told about Enfamil Lipil AR before trying medication.

    * watching him in pain and being able to do NOTHING about it.
