Reflux?

I'm sure there's probably plenty of threads on this somewhere but after hunting I can't figure out where, doh

I'm wondering how you can tell if your baby has reflux?

Bethany has always been a spilly baby, but the more I think about it, the more I wonder if her amount of spilling is normal. She's generally very happy, though does have her moments of crying as if in pain, often followed by a sick (or a dirty nappy!). Either that or she gags and chokes first. For the last week or so her spills have been frequent, huge and sometimes projectile-like. She usually spills at some point during any tummy time. She doesn't seem to be bothered by it as far as I can tell, but she's also had periods of time of being out-of-sorts over the last few weeks, too.

I don't want to go to my GP just cuz I wonder, would rather try and figure it out a little more first!

Anyone have any tips or thoughts?

Thanks

Lots of babies have reflux to a degree, it's all about how miserable it makes them.

For me, the biggest clue was the facials Jackson made when he spilled. Oh, and the fact that he wouldn't eat but that hasn't got any better!!

www.cryingoverspiltmilk.co.nz is one of the best resources and there is a whole list of symptoms that you can check off.

Hi we had a period of projectile vomitting as well - but this was put down to overfeeding - it was happening once a day for about a week at the same time each day. We are struggling currently with an ear infection which isn't much fun especially for bubs!
