Chloe replied to Joanna Barnes's discussion Sleep wedge and positioner"Worked great for us. Once we fitted it properly it gave us the first nights sleep we had ever had. It was more than we wanted to spend but worth every penny if it stops the reflux."

Hi all, I recently invested in a 30 degree sleep wedge, including the recommended Snoozz sleep positioner. Has anyone else purchased these and if so, do you experience the same problems as I do? The sleep positioner slips down the wedge and baby often ends up in a very awkward position, leaving me no option but to unfasten the positioner (VERY loud velcro....thus waking him with such a start that it often leaves him in tears from being woken harshly).

Joanna Barnes replied to Lindsey Meadows's discussion still got reflux and chronic wind at nearly 7 months!"Hi there, my LO has had silent reflux since he was born (premature at 31 weeks, now 15 weeks old). He's on .domperidone and ranitidine but they only take the edge off it. However, like yourself he suffers from terrible wind and writhes around…"

Joanna Barnes posted a discussionDomperidone and Ranitidine dosage
My LO is on both meds above, he's currently on 1.3ml domperidone and 1ml ranitidine based on a weight of 6lb 16oz - the consultant said this was the top end of the dosage for his weight. I keep ringing the GP every week with my LO's weight gain which is really annoying, as they simply guess each time.He now weighs over 9lb and was wondering whether anyone has a calculator for the dosage? I think I saw something posted by Victoria a while ago?Also is it appropriate for me to adjust his meds…See More
Belinda replied to Joanna Barnes's discussion Silent Reflux...will it ever end?!"Prob not a lot of use but are there no other reflux sufferers you know, or any off this sight that you could meet up with, lets face it who better to understand you and your little one than a fellow sufferer.

Joanna Barnes replied to Joanna Barnes's discussion Silent Reflux...will it ever end?!"Thanks Susie, I think I'm going to invest in a carrier/sling asap - even if it gives me the independance to get some chores done around the house between feeds.

Belinda replied to Joanna Barnes's discussion Silent Reflux...will it ever end?!"Nice one chuck, at least you got diff meds to try, I started my daughter on Omprezole the morning of the next day given them.
