Reflux
in Baby
Up until a week ago Jensen was such a happy and easy baby. He's been fussing on the boob, and not feeding too well and have hysterical crying fits where nothing consoles him. Our GP sent us up to the hospital today to see a paediatrician and he's been diagnosed with reflux and we've been given Infant Gaviscon to trial.
Has anyone got any tips on how to make things more comfortable? I feel so helpless.

A comfortable position you can put Jensen in is the Tiger in the Tree. This is really soothing for them. Here is a vid to show you how:

I used to lie my son on his side (propped up with rolled up rugs in the earlier days) to go to sleep as this was more comfortable for him than his back. Later I used to just let him roll on to his tummy when SIDS was no longer such a risk.
Big hugs to you as I empathise how helpless you feel but know they just being there as his mum to comfort him is a really big help to Jensen. It won't last forever I promise!
