For moms with LOS who have Silent reflux

VPGIRL06 · April 2013

Hi everyone,

quick question for those who's LO's have silent reflux...

i have a feeling my DD has it, but she isn't particularly fussy AND sleeps well at night. Has anyone else's little ones have silent reflux but NOT cried often and slept well either during the day or night?

The reason i think she has it is she has the following symptoms

-frequent grunting, shaking her head, coughing during her REM cycle; she wil leo normal newborn activities but then she will try to arch her back when she's laying down and get very disgruntled and wake up

-ALOT of saliva, i suction her mouth 2-3xa day and constantly come up with thick, slightly white saliva, and she constantly has bubbles on the side of her mouth

-she will choke and sputter at the end of her bottle...

-if i put her down before 15 minutes of holding her, she tends to get hiccups

-during the day she seems to rarely fall into the deeper sleep, and seems to restless that I don't think she's ACTUALLY getting sleep.

-she's VERY gassy on both ends

--

could it just be she has a very mild case of it?

My daughter has silent reflux and is a pretty awesome baby. However, when the acid comes up and she isn't completely upright she will cry and its so pitiful. And she doesn't fuss much but she does fuss some after feeding time. She's a chunk and always see

We knew DS1 had it because he would arch and gasp and choke. It was very scary and we almost took him to the ER the first day home until MIL talked us down. I have a video somewhere we made for the pedi.
