Infant Reflux Moms - Questions!!

Sometimes at DD's bedtime feed she cannot stand to lie down on the my brestfriend pillow to feed. She fusses and pulls off, crying. We have even had to feed her standing, DH holds her up at breast height!

She is 3 months and hardly ever spits up, so I never thought about reflux issues, but could this be a sign of reflux?

She pulls off, cries, and arches her back (but could she pull off w/o arching her back in that position?)

Tonight it dawned on me that this could be reflux, silent reflux? Especially b/c she hates the bottle, but just took 4.5oz while in a sitting up position!!

Going to the Dr. tomorrow so will ask, but I would love to know if any of your DC had any similar signs?

Re: Infant Reflux Moms - Questions!!

My DS suffered from Silent Reflux and exhibited the same symptoms, though they were all the time, not just at night. I was EBF and we changed my diet but that didn't help....then we tried medication and it helped but he still refluxed. We wound up having to get prescription formula and I had to stop BF! Eventually we were upset with medicating our little guy and looked for natural methods and visited a ped. chiropractor. Only a month later he was off the meds. I had never heard about the connection beween chiro. care and reflux but now I am a believer.

Hope your LO is not refluxing.
