Bump because I KNOW we have reflux mommies on here during the day!!!

Re: OK another question: if your DC had/has reflux

Dd cried all the time, even while eating, spit up constantly, arched her back while she was eating.
Symptoms got worse if she was lying down.

Re: OK another question: if your DC had/has reflux

Both my girls have/had reflux.

#1-she arched back off the breast during feeding, screaming, was fussy at the breast, cried for hours for no reason, and i could hear the reflux then she would scream. COuldn't lie her flat on her back Hardly spit up though.

#2-crying, screaming, blood curdling cries for no reason, lots of spitting up, couldn't lie her flat on her back. Arched back and pulled off during feedings.

Both were diagnosed at 4 weeks old. #1 was put on Pepcid, then at 8 weeks went onto PRevacid, she was just weaned at almost 17 months old. I still think she has it every now and then though.
#2, diagnosed at 5 weeks, also had milk protein allergy, put on pepcid for a week-didn't do anything, onto prevacid.

within 2 weeks of being on prevacid, i had totally different babies, happy, smiling, and content. #2 is still the spit up queen, but it just doesn't hurt now.

Hope that helps!

Wouldn't take more than a couple sips from the bottle before turning away like he was uncomfortable but then crying for the bottle back only to spit it out again.
