Hi there,
DD is 7.5 weeks old. A VERY stormy age since 6 weeks or so (see my other thread - the 6 week storm).... in addition to this being a hard age, she was also diagnosed with pretty bad reflux. Her voice,cry is very hoarse, and we went to the ENT and he viewed her throat with a camera and saw inflamed vocal cords from the reflux and a little bit of laryngomalacia. When laying down much of the time (but not all the time) she snores, has labored sounding breathing (NOT a throat issue, just flemmy). Anyway, the ENT saw no need for any reflux medicine.
Now she is having a very difficult time staying alseep. i rock her to sleep, put her down and she's up again upset in 20 minutes. This went on for 5 hours last night from 7pm - midnight. Then it was up every 2 hours.
I would love some input on those whose babies had reflux and what remedies (if any) you used and whether it helped.
BTW I'm EBF and she is a snacker - 1 bb for 5 minutes max and then she cries and about 90 minutes later she does the other one the same way. Too much foremilk? She gets p-offed if I try to force her to stay on or offer the other breast.
Then again, it could just be the age on top of everything.
- exhausted....
thank you mommies!
