Just heard the scariest story concerning Acid relflux in newborns...Please read..long

A friend of mine just had a baby girl on Sept 10th named Gabriella-bella for short. 2 weeks ago her DH went to check on her while she lay sleeping on her side. Bella was bright red, not breathing, stiff as a board and seemed to be choking on her spit up.

They immediately called 911 and had to do the baby hemelich on her and she was still choking. the operator instructed her to lay her on her stomach and hit her between her shoulder blades. The baby finally started breathing again. Frantic, she rushed bella to the er where the dr's told her "babies do that". This choking happened 2 more times!! and after each time the drs still told her babies do that. This poor mom still knew something was wrong with her daughter, and kept taking her back to the dr where she was told the same thing over and over again. My friend didn't sleep, or eat for two weeks since she had bella by her side 24/7.

She did some research on her own and found bella's symtoms matched those of acid reflux and called the dr and demanded to speak to him. She rambled off the symptoms of relflux where after each the dr said-yep bella has that, and then goes, I was going to call you after the last appt to tell you i thought it was acid relflux. SHe was LIVID!! She took bella to anohter dr where on the first visit bella was diagnosed with acid relfux and was put on medication, and a different formula.

Just shows that mother knows best and you should always trust your instinct. I was crying listening to this story, I wouldn't want any of you to go through was she went through.

Trust your instincts!! Mom knows what's best for her baby and demand answers!

Please pray for baby bellaChat Icon

I'm glad to hear she is okay.

The state and cost of healthcare in this country makes me so livid!
