babycupid, some common symptoms of uncomplicated reflux can include:
* constant or sudden crying or colic like symptoms
* irritability and pain
* poor sleep habits typically with frequent waking
* arching their necks and back during or after eating
* spitting-up or vomiting
* wet burp or frequent hiccups
* frequent ear infections or sinus congestion
u can also read abt the characteristics of reflux here http://www.reflux.org.au/characteristics.php
hope my bb will be fine soon lor...gotta bring him back for review in a week's time. this week oredi spent $500 on PD for both children. pocket burn big hole. day time nvr sleep is good mah then nite time can sleep better. perhaps he can differentiate day and nite time liao. dun worry if yr bb is not votmitting and is a happy baby...burping and farting is ok....helps to release the wind in the stomach. good mah.
soyabean, itz a pity lor. PD said some bb may get better soon and some will have reflux for a longer period hence gotta monitor. She suggested to let bb drink soy milk for 6 months lor. She actually told me to carry on pumping so as to keep the supply but then freezing the milk or throwing it away oso does not sounds like a good solution so i thot prob will just stop BF since after 6 months i doubt our BM will be as good as the first 6 months post delivery. i see him drink my BM then votmit i oso heartpain. not heartpain dat he waste the milk but heartpain to see him so xin ku.

here's another article i found on reflux:
What is Reflux? Gastro-oesophageal reflux (GOR/reflux) occurs when food and stomach acid flows back into the oesophagus (foodpipe). For some babies, this causes no problems, but for others, it can be a significant problem that requires medical treatment, investigation and for a very small percentage, surgery. The exact cause is unknown, but may be associated with an immature digestive system, hereditary factors, food sensitivities, and other medical issues.
If your baby is happy, eating well and gaining weight, then there may be no need for any treatment. Reflux will resolve in most children by 12 to 18 months of age, with many outgrowing it well before then. There is a very small proportion who will continue to suffer from reflux beyond the age of 2 years.
There are other symptoms of reflux, other than vomiting, or posseting, that many babies exhibit. Some babies reflux without it coming out of their mouths (termed silent reflux). If you suspect your child has reflux, or have any concerns, it is important to seek medical guidance (reflux is not always the cause). The list below outlines some of the more common signs of reflux that may require treatment:
* vomiting / posseting / regurgitating
* irritability / excessive crying
* appearing to be in pain
* feeding problems
o refusal to feed or only taking a small amount despite being hungry
o comfort feeding - feeding frequently
o pulling away and arching their back
o crying during or after feeds
o gagging/spluttering
* sleeping issues
o catnapping during the day
o frequent night waking (though some refluxers do sleep well at night)
o easily disturbed from sleep
* wheezing/coughing
* failure to thrive
* recurrent chest infections
Home hints
* Keep your baby upright for at least 30 minutes after a feed.
* Use a baby sling, which allows you to keep your child upright, while keeping your hands free. Avoid baby slumping.
* Try elevating the head of the cot/bassinet
* Consider using a dummy.
* Avoid vigorous movements or bouncing the baby.
* The best time to lay your baby on the floor is when baby's tummy is empty, i.e. before a feed
* Change nappy before a feed. Take care to elevate the baby's head and shoulders. Avoid lifting the legs too high, and turn to the side if possible.
* Avoid any tight clothing around the waist, such as tight nappies, elastic waistbands.
* Avoid overfeeding - if the baby vomits, wait until the next feeding rather than feeding them again. You should consult your doctor or child health nurse to ensure that you baby is getting appropriate amounts of food
* If the baby is bottle-fed, it may be worthwhile trying AR (anti-reflux) formula, or a hypoallergenic one.
* Offer a spoonful of thickened milk (formula or breastmilk) following the feed - discuss the type of 'thickener' with your healthcare provider before starting this.
* If breastfeeding, the mother should avoid eating foods that can aggravate reflux such as citrus, tomato, fatty foods, spicy foods, chocolate and carbonated drinks.
* Some reflux children may suffer from food sensitivities, and may need dietary restrictions (or the mother may consider an elimination diet). If you suspect foods may be responsible for your child' condition, it is essential to discuss this with your health care provider. Do not change your or your child's diet before seeking medical advice.
* Avoid exposure to tobacco smoke.
* Contact a reflux support organisation for further information and support. The effect on the baby AND the family can be devastating and support groups can provide more detailed information, and offer the emotional support you may need.
It is essential to seek medical guidance if you have any concerns, such as the reflux appears worse, or you are worried about your baby or yourself. If symptoms are severe or persistent, your local doctor may consider treatment with medication, or refer your baby to a paediatric gastroenterologist.

starmoon...
thanks for the info on relux...
seems like my gal fulfilled some of the symptoms..however i will still continute to bf her.
come to think of it initially she too also farts alot..but seems to have reduce as the day goes by. rather she seems to poo poo alot though.
should i bring her to a PD to establish whether its a genuine case of reflux or should i just monitor?

I can feel one of my breast getting softer than usual, scare later it is a sign that MS decreasing.

Congratulations to u, Felicia.
Hi Ladies, I am back from KKH. I delivered my boy at 12.11am on 27 June 2008, baby weight: 3.805kg.
My story:
26 June @ 2pm - Admitted to KKH
26 June @ 7pm - Went to labour ward to induce, 1st pill was inserted n need to moniter for 2 hrs. If nothing happen, will have to wait till 12 hrs then induce again.
26 June @ 9.30pm to 10pm - Doctor said tat althought I have contractions every 2 mins but seems like not tat pain so sent me back to normal ward n will arrange next morning for 2nd pill to be insert. So no choice, I walk back to my ward with my hubby and told him to go back.
26 June @ 11pm - Contractions quite pain but not sure so went toilet 'poo poo'. After 20 mins, cant stand the pain so ask nurse for painkiller but was told to go back labour ward for Epi.
26 June @ 11.28pm - Reached labour ward, ask doctor for Epi coz cervix already dilated to 5cm. While waiting for Epi, nurse gave me 'laughing gas'.
26 June @ 11.45pm - 'Laughing Gas' make me so high. Everything was so fast, b4 I knew. I heard Nurse said 'Waterbag burst, cant have Epi liao'. Next moment, I was pushing already.
27 June @ 12.11am - Baby was out.
I am so sad, althought today I was discharged but I cant bring my baby boy home. Doctor said tat the back of my baby's head a bit swell so sent him to special care for x-ray n report shows tat he have blood clot n need blood tranfusion too coz blood count drop. He need further investigation, CT scan need to be done. Still waiting for KKH to call us. How to rest...

shycloud, i think the best person to assess whether your bb has reflux is the PD so if u wanna confirm if ur bb has reflux, do bring to the PD. initially, my PD @ tmc thot my bb has colic and prescribe colic drops but after the 2nd bottle, my bb is still votmitting and the colic drops didnt help at all. so i was supposed to go back to the PD but cos his appt all full so i went to another PD and this time the PD told me that it is reflux and dats why the colic drop didnt work.
shinely, be it EBM or FM it should be consumed within 1 hour. Anything that is not consumed within this time should be discarded. maybe u can make fewer oz of milk for yr bb (so as not to waste the FM) since she needs to take a break then after 1 hour when she wake, u make some more FM for her.
babycupid, i oso dunno wad does catnapping mean. my PD prescribed motilium and zantac for my baby but my boy still votmits and become very cranky so PD switch to a more expensive medicine called Losec (1 week supply taken once a day cost $39.20). He has been taking Losec since yesterday and it seems to help curb his votmitting but he is still cranky. PD said it will take a while for the crankiness to stop so hopefully his reflux will get better and he will stop being so cranky. Cos now he will still make the "eng eng" sound (like stretching himself sound) and PD said he make this sound not becos he is stretching himself but becos the gastric acid is going up and down his stomach thus making him uncomfortable. here is a picture of isomil advance 1 which is for newborn 0-6months old babies.
bizznow, my bb during the first month also hiccups after every feed. PD said it is normal so i just leave it...after 1st month, his hiccups got lesser.
leemay, hope yr bb get well soon. must be very depressing for u at this time but u must rest more so that u have the energy to take care of yr boy when he is discharged.

Rizty, thanks for your advice. in fact, it seems like my breast was rather auto as the timing i posted my q to you, I do not need to pump so breasts are rather soft. I just pumped out 110ml of BF store in my chiller. I have other two more bottles, 1 waiting for baby to drink later and the other next morn. I missed out 1 pumping session this afternoon as hb not around and I have to latch on bb and feed porridge to my son. Haiz, next time dunno how to handle with only two hands.
tf, yes, for the groceries we have to give CL extra $$ to buy. Its not included in this 2k you are paying her. Best is if you can get family members to buy groceries for you, its much better.

I am on total bf.
starmoon,
yr uncomplicated reflux seems to describe my bb. my bb will occasionally vomit milk but usu is bec he drinks too fast or i move him to bed soon after latch. Nowadays i usu let him lie down on my bf pillow for awhile before moving him to bed so tat the milk can flow down better.

my baby wakes up from sleep with her "sucking lips" and its also time for a feed.
she then eagerly turns towards my nipple and sucks very hard as if some other babies will fight for breast milk with her! then after 2-3 sucks, she will pull away and then get agitated for abt 2 seconds and frantically search for the nipple again n sucks hard for 2-3times and repeatedly do these for a while... i tot my nipple is blocked or something..but its dripping milk when she turns away..this means that she did managed to get milk actually..then why is she doing so?
sometimes she would calm down after many repeated times of what she did as i mentioned above n continue to latch on as normal for the rest of that feed. but sometimes she does that so often that i felt lost and try to comfort her in other ways.
last week, i put her on bottle feed(pumped milk) for 2 days to rest my bleeding nipple.. now my nipple is fully recovered n i latch her on for the past 2 days.
is this nipple confusion or reflux or any of the problems u all have discussed??
shld i ask my paediatrician or LC for help??
and counld anyone tell me if the confinement lady pays for the marketing she does inclusive in her $2000 salary or we have to give her a separate allowance for it??

Hi girls,
Me officially OUT of confinement! Not that I was seriously confined though. But we had the full month celebration today and it feels like having a stone off my mind. Cos initially didnt want to do it, but ILs like to, so got to do...
And I got nice surprise from hubby too
Hi babycupid,
We order from sweet moments, I must say I am impressed too. My relatives like the ribbons that come with the box, no hassle to take plastic bags. I tried the stuff inside too, very fresh.
Me keeping the box to store baby's keepsake.
Hi fennie
I also need to order cake vouchers for those who gave gifts but didnt attend celebration. But was thinking if choose those stores with lesser branches, will it be inconvenient for them to redeem the vouchers? Hmm...
Hi sharon
I dun wake babies up for night feeds. Best that they dun wake. hahaha.... If we wake them, we are "training" them to wake lor, no good for long run.

starmoon/JP/rooller,
Today i went to c my boy. Doc said CT scan shows tat he have blood clots on back of his head, no fracture. It a kind of blood disorder. Boy is already stable, head swelling is gettin better n he also suckle fairly well. But he had been transferred to ICU this afternoon for better monitoring. If everything ok, he will be discharge in a week time.
