Have convinced myself that 7 week old baby has reflux. He's 4th baby and never experienced anything like this before although had nightmares trying to get my 3rd (also a boy) to take much milk - which i've since read may be a sign of reflux. He either spits up milk or clear fluid up to 2 1/2 hrs after feeding although usually just a small amount but sometimes there seems loads and sometimes it is hard to settle him after feeding as he seems very windy but doesn't seem keen to burp. He's putting on weight ok has put on 3 1/2lbs since birth. Mentioned to my HV and GP at 6 week check and they just seemed to think he's one of them babies. I'm happy with his weight but find i'm always on edge wondering if he's about to be sick and then choke! He's sleeping through the night from about 10.30 - 6.30 but i'm always tired because i'm so on edge!Does anyone with these experiences think it's worth asking GP for something like infant gavison or shall i just leave it and hopefully he'll grow out of it? He also seems to have permanent hiccups which i'm wondering if connected?
