Anybody bb has reflux?
What and how did u stop the vomiting?
Click to expand...

Mine... went PD before cny and doc said my boy is having reflux, heartburn.. gave him a month dose of med to ease the vomiting n gastric pain... so far on certain days he can really throw up milk v frequently but on some days he will be ok.

Don't think we can stop vomiting completely but I try to carry him upright for a while after each feed. Will burp him as well cos he has alot of wind. But PD did mention tat bb with reflux doesn't like to burp as it will be uncomfortable for them.. but he will cry to be burp..

But as long he is still feeding well I hope he can grown it.. else need to bring him back to PD again.

mummies do u know if its ok to give bb our BM if i'm sick? think i'm either coming down with a cold or i have blocked ducts. today my boobs r super painful n sensitive, n for some reason, my last pumping session managed to tear the skin on BOTH my nipples. sigh.

today my bb is ultra cranky the entire day... dunno what's wrong, usually he will only fuss at night. until i surrender at 4pm n called my hubby n told him to just leave work early, i buay tahan already, plus i feel sick, so my bones r aching, my nose is running, n the chills keep coming. damn chiam.

I think if u are not on medication, it shld be fine.. Continue to bf.. if the pain is unbearable to dl, then pump out, thou dl will clear the blocked ducts faster.. rmb to monitor your temperature, if fever develops, it might be mastitis.. mastitis can be a result of cracked nipples and blocked ducts.. take more rest and keep latching/pumping..

if possible ask someone to help you out.. Cuz when i had mastitis, i was so drowsy that i can slp while carrying bb, even thou i never take any medication.. which is quite dangerous lah.

If after trying all these, fever didnt subside after 2days, then u have to go see gynae take anti inflammation and antibiotics. My fever subsides after a day, but i still go take meds for future use. (Ps: some dr only give when u are still having fever, no fever no give) Anw, mastitis is very common and may happen many times during bfing journey. So dont be disheartened .. ^_^

Regarding cranky bb, i always feel that bb can somehow sense whether we are having a good/bad day. If we are happy, bb will be happy.. and if we feel uncomfortable, so does baby. Its the kind of aura we protray.. Try to maintain a positive outlook and think of happy thoughts.. i know it is super tough.. but try ok? Jiayouz!!

I use the avent anti colic ones but I guess some wind is still inevitable. Today my bb keeps puking out her milk esp when I carry her over my shoulder to burp. At night after feeding if bb refuses to burp what do u all do? Sometimes I'm guilty of just putting her back to sleep.. today she also took her jab and is ultra cranky..not asleep yet and no where near sleep..I'm doomed tonight lol

thanks for the info babe, ya i think mine is mastitis, woke up for my 2am and 6am pumping sessions with super hard n painful boobs, gotta grit my teeth n try to massage out the lumps. felt better today, no fever no chills, but boobs still very tender. couldn't hold my boy just now, cos cannot bear his weight on my chest. hopefully today he's more cooperative n does not demand to be held so much. sometimes i wonder, are they crying cos they are bored? what are we supposed to be doing with them when they are awake? read? play?

I bottlefeed my LO ebm and supplement FM anyway so i made the decision one sleepy night to just pop in the pacifier for him to settle to sleep faster cos he was fussing even after drinking milk and it has been a lifesaver for me eversince. There are times he can still sleep without pacifier so im trying to make it such that he is not dependent on it to fall asleep.

i was reading this infant stimuli book. We can actually print out flashcards, flash to them. First 2 months are black and white cards. Helps to stimulate their right brain. 3rd month onwards colour cards. Can go google to find out more.

heartpain to see them keep vomiting. But LO dun seem to be in pain or xinku. After each feed I hv to chng at least 2 clothes. U mention pd prescribe 1mth med for yr LO, is it hv to eat for few mths till LO stop vomiting? Was thinking whether to bring my LO see pd. Yesterday my mum introduce fm to LO and she vomit fr nose and mouth. Scare die me! Is it also due to reflux?

my mum always like to intro things i dun want to intro to my baby. she also intro pacifier to her, but mine dun like it. will always spit out.

Mine hates pacifier too. Not sure if she doesn't know how to use or dislikes it. It keeps falling out and I have to keep putting it back for her so stopped giving.

Huh? Sound very irresponsible to me
If internal bleeding can wait 3 months ??!?!

I also dunno. When she do ultrascan I told her abt the lump then she feel and say hmm really got lump, not normal not normal, then ask me was it there before, I say No. She scan uterus is normal. She told me if can feel the lump means it's not that deep in so just monitor first. I wonder if clotted blood inside does it really get better after a few months? Forgot to ask her that. think for doc if not life threatening they also don't wanna open you up unnecessarily which I totally understand, but I thought she will ask me go scan or something (even tho I have no idea what to scan for).

If he keeps stretching due to wind U can try massaging his thighs like cycling motion towards his tummy so that he can release the wind...read this somewhere but can't find the article

辛苦你了
Nowadays I put bb on tummy and use pacifier.( feeling guilty of giving him) but that's the only way to pacify him and so that he can sleep well in the afternoon.

Oh if bb cry too much, will result in colic also.

My bb also like this... since quite some time ago...

I would carry him n rub his back... sometimes he happen to burp n feels better..

My mum will put him on his tummy

My sis would carry him n walk around...

But after I going to return to my own hse after cny over.. I will have night mare I think.. no one to help me..

These few days I have to hug him together n sleep together ... he can't lie flat on bed.. muz sleep high high guess it's his wind problem

Hi all
Just get to carry my LO on Monday after decide to c-sect
Wanna ask right after discharge from hospital we can chose to go polyclinic straight or we still have to visit back PD once before doing so?
TIA
 
Headache n feel unwell :(
Yday nite bb had to wail before I summon strength to pick him up n latch him. Then he wake up 3 or 4 times somemore, my fault cos he not full after each feed make things even worse for myself. He latch one side I burp him no burp, then hold him both of us will fall asleep, then I put him back to oct when I wake and of cos 1hr later he will cry for milk again, just when I deep sleep. Repeat n times, result is a bloody headache. Yday nite c dangerous lei I held him till I fell asleep a few times. The last time when I wake up his head was like hanging backwards fr my arm :(
Hubby super stressed this week so no help there.
:(
