we have been to docs and our looks like our lovely boy has reflux. it makes him uncomfortable and he can't sleep on his back, so he has been napping in a chair in the day and sleeping on me at night - this is a no no but I am struggling to get anything else to work. he cries due to the discomfort but can be consoled. we have been prescribed gavisgon which seemed to work at first but it seems to have made his tummy very uncomfortable and he is writhing and screaming with his bowel movements.
does anyone have experience of this? I am thinking of stopping the gaviscon, will take him back to docs but am considering that the reflux is the better of the two evils until then as at least we know how we can help him be more comfortable with this.
also does anyone have experience of modifying their diet for reflux?
exhausted thanks in advance
