Hi, anyone with babies with moderate to severe reflux? Need help on which pediatrician to go to and common tips on how to cope.
thanks!
thanks!
thanks angelmum and epicurean!
epicurean, what are the symptoms of severe GERD?
but the thing is, my dd spits after every other meal and sometimes even up to 2 hours after feed. There are times when she spits out quite a bit of clear liquid that doesn't look like saliva-- suspect it's bile.
She can cry suddenly in great pain when lying on her back or when sleeping. And when she cries, she arches her back and cries herself blue in the face.
At night, she wakes up frequently crying in pain or arching her back and neck.
Now I actually feed bb in sling in the daytime and let her sleep at 45 degree in the sling. I find that she sleeps better, burps better and is less likely to reflux in the sling. But I can't really do much with her in the sling.
Have also tried putting her in the bouncy chair but somehow she doesn't like it a lot.
haiz, really hope that she'll outgrow it by the time she's 1 year old.
thanks epicurean!
have to sayang her cos i've decided to stop at one. Really tough to raise kids without family support.
Really admire your love for and dedication to your kid. Your kid is lucky that he has such a great mummy!
wah, don't have family support. will die if have another one! and i not as strong as you or epicurean...stop at one :err:
maybe after yr DD is more manageable and u feel the joy of having her, u want to get her a playmate!

I'm also considering stopping at one
Hubby wants another child so that bb has company growing up ... but I'm petrified that the same thing could happen to no.2 coz what happened to bb was so random and unexplained ... don't even know what precautionary steps to take to prevent it from happening again.
uddermummy, I agree with you abt family support ... don't know how I would have managed without my mum's unflinching support ... she's a pillar of strength.
oh dear, why pple still so superstitious??? aiyah, ask them to drink the fu shui first to make sure it's safe lah. If so good, then can ask them to take for all their meals to make sure they're healthy.shld I say I was lucky to start with a normal boy b4 having DD? :err:
When DS diagnosed G6PD I was devastated (didnt know I was the carrier) .... DD's diagnosis was like end of the world, everyday just cry ..... family support really very important, especially when u just rec'd the bad news!
Having relatives/friends who r understanding and dont talk nonsense or suggest this and that eg go temple pray or drink fu shui (holy water), would also make my days better. The numerous occassions I had to correct their mistakes or explain what DD can't do, her diagnose is really irritating.
I'm also terrified that another child will have the same reflux prob cos they say it might be hereditary. Everyone tells me to have another one so that bb will not be lonely, but then again, they are not the ones looking after her...I'm also considering stopping at one
