Reflux?

Question

Any mommas dealing with babies and reflux? Specially if you breastfeed? 
I apparently have a fast let down so it’s constantly like my baby girl is gagging or choking after eating. Pediatrician and lactation nurse have seen it and say it’s normal and she’ll grow out of it but it terrifies me!! Any suggestions for helping her ?

Answer

There are ways to try and adjust your let down speed naturally. I have a very forceful one as well so our little guy almost always ends up choked up a bit. Doesn’t help that he eats as fast as a little piggy would either lol. If you begin to notice reflux issues though, ask about getting baby put on a medication for it. My daughter had it but it began after having to switch her to formula and had to go through like, 3 different medicines before we settled on Nexium working best for her.

Answer

I had a extremely aggressive let down with my second daughter . I highly recommend trying to get your self to let down before latching her! I would get the process started an then latch her . I swear I was literally drowning my daughter so that was more or less my only option

Answer

Yes! Hers has been causing a lot of spit up and discomfort so our dr started us on Zantac which helped the reflux part but now we’re dealing with excessive gassy. I’m thinking the culprit is overactive let down. I’ve been doing laid back nursing and trying to get the flow started and slowed before she’s latched. Mine is having difficulty feeding for more than 5-10 minutes at a time because she’s so uncomfortable 😩 I worry she’s not feeding enough

Answer

🙋🏻‍♀️ Yes, I notice it mostly when she hasn’t burped after eating. So, I try to burp her after each side.

Answer

Same.. the only thing I can do is unlatch, allow her to finish swallowing, burp, and re latch.

Answer

I think I am dealing with reflux also, she chokes after being laid down. I hold her upright for 30 min after feeding and when I lay her down she wakes up choking but doesn’t spit up. (Silent reflux?) 😫😫
