Reflux symptoms
I'm struggling with my LO, he screams during every feed and it's become a nightmare. I've heard of reflux and silent reflux but I don't know what they are. For those of who you have babies who suffer from these, could you please let me know what their symptoms are and how you knew to go to the docs. Thanks x

tyler has reflux and his symptoms were:
sick quite alot
restlessness at night
gurgly belly
uncomfortable on his back
the main thing for us was his problems at night as he used to thrash around all night grumbling and just not able to get comfy. it was put down to wind for a long time, after seeing a paed he is now on gaiscon and ranitidine and is so much better

- sick frequently after feeds increased from around week 10
- coughs and hiccups
- screams in pain mostly in the middle of her naps
- hates being on her tummy, makes her cough so 'tummy time' doesnt really happen
She's on infant gaviscon (to thicken milk in the stomach and stop it coming back up) and rantidine (to help stomach stop producing acid which burns the throat when the reflux occurs).

Even though Olivia thrashes in her sleep she does sleep all night from 8pm-9am so the reflux doesnt always affect the night routine.
Definatley go see your gp. Hope it improves soon. Sasha's got better with just the gaviscon, and I make sure that when she lays down anywhere she is always slightly propped up with a cushion.
