Hi there,
I've posted quite a few times regarding my DS - now 18 weeks old - who has suffered from silent reflux since around 2/3 weeks. He has been EBF up until last week when I introduced a bottle of formula because he was incredibly fussy and I was worried that perhaps I simply wasn't able to get him to feed long enough to take in the quantity of milk he needed. Anyway, he fed happily from the bottle with no complaints at all (this all in the wake of 4 months of nightmarish feedings on the breast with the poor little one pulling off, trying to reattach, crying in pain, arching back etc.).
I can't understand why his reflux wouldn't bother him equally regardless of his being breastfed or formula fed (I gave him just normal Aptimil). Has anyone else found this? Could it in fact have been something to do with my milk that has been/still is distressing him so much? I don't think it's a supply issue as I always seem to have a good supply of milk.
Any suggestions welcome - increasingly confused
:)
