Reflux has come back w Vengence

I know some children still taking reflux medicine who are over 12 months, they both have allergy issues as well though.

Maybe he's meds need adjusting? have you changed formula recently or anything else that might have made a difference to him?

My DD2 has not grown out of her reflux yet....

she has been on losec since she was 7 weeks old....we have tried weaning her a few times and still not happening......she will be 16 months old in a few days..
Doctors think she will be on it till she around 2 yrs.....and we have been told not to try weaning her off it again for another 3 months....

Best of luck with your little man.....if he has reflux it might be a while yet before he grows out of it

We kept Callum on ranitidine till he was 6 months, we tried weaning him off a couple of times before that (4 & 5 months) but he wasn't ready and within a day or two he would be screaming at bed time and sicking up more

DH and I used to disagree over burping 1/2 way through the bottle - I stopped it earlier than he did because I thought C was screaming FOR the bottle whereas DH thought he still needed burping...

We use Weleda every bottle, and Rhuger at the beginning. And sometimes gripewater instead of rhuger.

I tried Infacol once ind he spewed the whole bottle (it seemed) it seemed to evacuate his tum.

Thats interesting Aliasmum! Potato is the one food that Campbell hates, and he hasn't even had it by itself! He's only tried it in foods where potato is an ingredient, and he's not had a bar of those foods!

Good to know, even though I was steering clear of it anyway!

God- here I am again- I dont even need to start a new topic- De Ja Vu.

I am getting so depressed about it, He screams for hours, my life has gone out the window. I cant take him anywhere- the antenatal coffee group meet up, doc appt went to sh*te cos I couldnt make it out the house.
I told DP I didnt want any more kids if this is what its like. Its affecting everything.

I am starting work on Monday cos we need the money- I think DP makes a better mum anyway. God I am so sh*t at all this... I just cant cope with it all. I spend most of the day in tears with Locky.

Sorry to sound like a dick. I feel like such a failure.

You are so not a failure. Reflux is awful to deal with and don't feel bad about going back to work either, you do what you need to do.

Do you have a plunket family centre in your area? I went to the one in CHCH with Spencer when he was 3 months cos it was all getting a bit much and our whole day would turn to sh*t before 9am. They were awesome, and they spend a good amount of quality time with you, I was there from 9am-2pm the day I went. There are other mums there as well who are also having a hard time and understand how you are feeling. If nothing else they will take baby off you for bit so you can go and have a coffee or get some lunch in peace.

I hope things are getting better for you. I know what it is like to have a baby stop to burp half way and then just scream. Mine then refused to take the bottle back again! It was taking 1 1/2 hours to get a feed of 150mls into her. All is good now. We had to change to Neocate formula and luckly we have just been able to stop her meds. I went back to work when she was 14 weeks and I couldn't wait to go back - like you I said she would be better at home with DH. Now I actually go to work and miss her! Hang in there, hopefully it will be better soon
