7 Weeks old | Diagnosis, Tips and Coping with Silent Reflux

I feel like I could fill several books on the information I found when researching silent reflux but here are the key things I took away from it.
Silent reflux is the devil and for a year it pretty much controlled our lives. If you are experiencing the same things with your baby please know that 1) you are not alone and 2) it does get better!! Trust me.

Hi! Thanks for your video, I’m trying to help my wife.
My son is being a really fussy feeder. He squirms and arches in the cradle position and only feeds for very short periods. This leads to snacking.
I often can hear him with a small cough throughout the day and he gets hiccups often. He loves tummy time but does get frustrated after a little while. He can self settle after about 15 mins but the nights are one good block and then every hour afterwards. We are just exploring the idea that it could be silent reflux. My partner has been sleep deprived for 5 months now. We recently started a bottle in the bouncer and he seems to like that and feeds for much longer periods.
Some similarities with your story. What are your thoughts?

Currently suspecting reflux in my 3 week old baby.Its been relentless cry screaming every waking moment and after feeding, refusing to be put down to sleep, arching back and being so unsettled. Am at wits end, the ENT did a scope and saw some irritation of the throat from acid, so started a medication to reduce acid but its been 4 days and no sign of improvement yet.
Please tell me it gets better.

It gets better. Solids change everything. Keep going, you’ve got this.

[@alenabischoff3662]

But how did the baby sleep during the first year?

[@myparentingway7996]

She didn’t really. Until solids. Eating solids changed everything.

[@Mssinginggirl95]

Did starting solids help ?

[@myparentingway7996]

100% I cannot tell you how different he was after solids. Everything settled in the stomach better and it was easier to monitor reactions to food

[@Mssinginggirl95]

Thank you for replying !! I know it’s so long ago for you ! This video helps so many moms my baby will be 6 month soon I’m hoping solids help ! It’s been rough

[@thendralmurugaiyan]

Hey when did it get better

[@myparentingway7996]

Weaning onto solids changed everything for us. Good luck, I hope it gets better xx

Did you cancel the dairy free diet while treatment?

[@myparentingway7996]

No, I remained dairy free until we were able to test the dairy element using solids - it was easier to see the reaction quickly
