Silent reflux??

Question

Mamas—how did you know if your baby had reflux issues??

Answer

Stiffened her body while nursing and screams in pain about an hour after eating and sometimes while eating. She also spits up a lot, but she only has pain with the spit up that happens an hour or more after a feeding. She’s also always really congested in the mornings.

Answer

I knew when my daughter was 1wk old. She was doing strange things with her tongue and sticking it out a lot. I told the doctor and she agreed that it was probably reflux, but it typically doesn’t start that soon. She didn’t have any other symptoms than that until she hit 3wks. Then the screaming started. She never spit up or anything. It was just the pain/burning from the acid. We thickened her bottles and tried Zantac. It worked for a few weeks but now we are on Nexium and it’s AMAZING! I no longer have to thicken her bottles. It’s taken a long time to get to this point and a lot of trial and error. But usually reflux subsides around 4mos (she will make 4mos next week). So I think it’s a combination of finally being on the right meds, with her bottles being the right thickness, and her just finally growing out of it.

Answer

My LO would wiggle and arch and make these terrible grunting noises when he slept it made me feel so bad and he would sleep so restlessly. 
We inclined his mattress slightly where his head is and he sleeps sooooo much better!
