A little bit of hope for you all, my life is back to normal!
Hi all been a while since i have been on here but thought it might help if i gave you all a bit of hope.
My daughter cerys is now 9 months old, she has been suffering from silent reflux since she was 4 weeks old, we have been down the same route of you all, cying at the gp's, waiting for appointments with the peadiatrics etc etc, cerys was eventually put on omeprazole after trying 11 milks, doctor brown bottles, ranitadine and gaviscon, tried to wean early etc!
Every day was a struggle with her as she would not take her milk, rarely taking more then 3oz a time and that was constant crying and refusing, i never went out for her first 6 months as it was just too hard, just went for walks inbetween bottles, feeding took over my life!!
At 8 months my h/v told me to take her off any daytime bottles as it was taking over my life and just give her morn and night and hopefully it will increase her food intake (my daughter has never put on much weight she still weighs only 15lb 9oz).
Well i feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders, she all of a sudden started eating lumps, started drinking out of a cup and was a generally happier baby, and eats lots!!!! now.
I have now reduced her omeprazole to 5ml i have taken her off her gaviscon and she is fine, infact not just fine great!!
And just to add for all of you worrying about development if your baby is not putting on weight etc, cerys has just taken her first steps today at only 9 months and has been crawling since 7 months.
I hope this all give you a little bit of hope and when it really gets you down just think one day u will look back at these times and remember u did a fantastic job because you got through it!!!!

hi hun
i am so happy to hear this! i remember some of your posts from my black early days. i agree it does get somewhat easier when they get older. Louiza is almost 6 and half months and i am finding it a lot easier too. She is down to just 3 bottles a day and i am pushing and pushing the food. Following baby led weaning and spoon feeding too. She is starting to get weaned off her meds too.
i agree about the development thing too. not sure what my DD weighs but she is really small compared to other babies in her age group but yet she is the one sitting up, is starting to shuffle on her bum too and rolls about all over the place!
Congrats on Crys taking her first steps at 9 months. obviously she is designed to be little but hey, that wont hinder her in life.
all the best to you. I am so glad you are happier. XXX

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!! So good to hear good news among so many sad stories. I keep telling myself not to read any more posts here as although they do help, they also often make me paranoid and very depressed.
Your post give us hope! After been crying all day cos my baby refused to have her milk for the past 9 hours, I can now try to focus on that in the future she will get over this horrible condition and be a happy and healthy little girl.
Thank you!
