Guest guest Posted December 14, 2002 Report Share Posted December 14, 2002 Liam has been diagnosed with silent relux. Well hope this is the reason he is not feeding well. He just gets soooooo stressed out when he has to feed. My milk supply is fine, I know that now. He also wants to be carried upright all the time, not laying down. I spend about 1- 1/2 hours per time trying to feed him, with starts and stops along the way, 3 mins here, one min there, what a mission!!! The doctors put him on Zantac 3 x per day and we are on the second day, still no improvment. I have tried getting Liam to drink from a bottle, a dropper, breast, feeding cup, poor boy must be so confused and sore. I am paranoided he is not getting enough hence my extremes of trying to get food down him. He has put on 220gms in 10 days!! So weight is not the issue right now, he must be geeting enough, thank goodness. It is such a struggle though, especially hard when he is just screaming in pain and I cannot console him, I feel terrible that he is in so much pain and I cannot take it away. I guess I now know what it is like to be a parent of a hurting child. I have tried to feed Liam in every way possible, laying, sitting, cradeling, football hold etc etc..... Any suggestions would be great thanks mum to baby Liam 4 months yesterday smoneill@... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
