I feel terrible.. last night my tears were falling on my poor little girl as she screamed. I know I am doing everything I can but I still feel like a terrible parent because I can’t help her.

She has been screaming for hours on end because of gas and silent reflux. We have tried gas drops, gripe water, probiotics. I have cut dairy, caffeine, spicy foods, red sauces, etc. out of my diet but nothing seems to help.

She was awake for 11 hours straight yesterday/last night. She tries so hard to fall asleep but keeps getting woken up by reflux. She makes faces as she can taste of the burn coming up.

I just don’t understand because half the time she is completely fine, happy, content, looking around kicking, and sleeping like a rock, and then a flip switches and she just screams.

She lost her voice from screaming. I am just so sad for her and at a loss. I know she will eventually grow out of it, but it’s so hard to watch your tiny baby scream in pain as she tries so hard to fall asleep.

Anyone have any sort of tips or know of anything else we could do for her. I am going to call the Dr again today and hopefully get some Zantac.
