Getting Worse
Hi Everyone
My daughter has reflux. She was on Omeprazole to control the pain which was working but then when we had to increase the dosage due to her weight it started getting difficult to give as Grace would gag on it and then vomit everywhere. They have therefore put her on Ranitidine since Saturday and so far we have not had any bouts of pain.
However, since the beginning she has been on Domperidone and this seemed to have made the vomiting worse but we kept on it following the advice of some girls on this web page. The vomiting has improved but we tend to have instances where Grace cannot settle asleep because she is getting a lot of regurgitation. She then wakes herself up and either is sick or swallows it back down. We do have her moses basket on an incline but it does not seem to be working. We have been told to increase her Domperidone to 1.7ml four times a day.
I am not sure what to do as it seems to be since we started Ranitidine that the regurgitation has got worse although that could be a coincidence. If we come off the Domperidone, im just wondering how soon we should see any results if it improves it and then if it makes it worse, how quickly it will start to work again!!
Any advice would be welcome
Thanks

Hi Jacqui
To stop Alex from slipping down the mattress we put a pillow at the end of the cot and this works well for us.
She's 10 months now but before we were using the back to sleep positioner and it stopped her from moving around too much. We're not using it anymore so if you want I can send it to you, just let me know.
Take care,

Hi Helena
That is so nice of you to offer to send the sleep positioner. If you are not using it then that would be great. Obviously you will need to let me know how much it costs to send so that I can pay for that. Please only send it if you really do not mind. My address is 4 Whittingham Close, Luton, Beds, LU2 9UR. Thank you so much for this. I really appreciate it

Hi Jacqui
No problem at all, I wouldn't have offered otherwise.
Will put it in the post on Wednesday.
Do I need your surname or will your first name be enough you think?
Keep in touch
