"Hi Teresa,
What a horrible time for you and your LO. It's a hard dilemma to think through.
I don't feel like I have any knowledge in this area but perhaps you could really push to speak to your consultant over the phone...Our LO was on…"

MatW replied to kate kirk's discussion Very windy baby advice much needed"Hi Kate,
You probably know this already so ignore me if you do but we give our LO mashed pear, kiwi fruit or raspberries if he is constipated and stay away from banana and carrots. I once tried prune juice as I was breastfeeding and it's not a…"
MatW replied to Lara Gent-Grant's discussion Sleeping soloutions"Hi Lara,
I too had to feed my baby every time he would wake up (every hour at the height of his problems). Seriously do what you need to do for a bit of sanity - life is hard enough with a refluxer without worrying about forming bad habits! Once…"
MatW replied to Charlene Norman's discussion Having a day where I just can't take it anymore...."Hi Charlene,
Sorry the past few weeks have been so hard. You are not a terrible parent - you just want your children to be happy and healthy and isn't this what all Mums want?! It's really hard to stay positive when it feels like the…"
MatW replied to Laura Perks's discussion Controlled reflux ?"Hi Laura,
I would say trust your instincts - if you don't think your baby's reflux is controlled it isn't. Our son is CMPI and is on lansoprazole (we tried omezaprole before but it only really took the edge off it for my son). The…"
MatW replied to Joanne Carlyon's discussion help needed 19 mth old"Hi Joanne,
You poor thing - you have such patience. I really admire you. Our now 9 month old was on Omeprazole and still feeding every 2 hours, up a few times a night for milk and still unsettled but Lansoprazole did the trick and he is now a happy…"
MatW replied to Madeleine's discussion New to Little Refluxers - Silent Reflux"Hi Madeleine, I just had to reply as we too know what it is like to be fobbed off by the doctors when as a Mum you know your baby is not happy/well. GPs can prescribe Ranitidine which helps some babies so definitely keep going back to the doctors,…"
MatW replied to Anna Curtis's discussion Best thing I have done for my refluxer - write down what helped your bubs to help each other/newcomers"I don't know if this info helps but my breastfed 9 month old has CMPI only has 2 milk feeds a day alongside 3 meals a day and snacks so our dietician has prescribed through the GP a calcium syrup that he has 5ml of 3 x day. The Health…"
MatW replied to Vicki Taylor's discussion 5 Mnth twins with reflux (on meds) and cows milk intolerance.... help with sleeping routines please???"Hiya,
Just want to add you are not failing your girls! You are a brilliant Mum - you are sleep deprived and yet still are determined to get everything right for your girls. As a Mum you know what feels right for your children so question…"
MatW replied to Victoria Reeve's discussion Newbie - advice needed please on reflux/CMPI baby not gaining weight"Hi VR,
Just to add that you are doing so well with it all! We went through similar problems and it's really tough - I really feel for you. I'm sure the dietician will help with the exclusion diet. Our dietician was able to talk me…"
MatW replied to nicola glanville's discussion Trying to find a way forward"Hi Nicola,
Well done on keeping going - it's a hard slog isn't it?!!! Just to add our experience... Our LO has a dairy free diet and is on lansoprazole.
I had convinced myself that our LO must have multiple allergies because…"
MatW replied to Clare's discussion Is this all reflux related?"I really can't answer your questions but maybe you could ring up and ask the GP surgery to make the referral urgent. We asked for our referral to be marked urgent (with a screaming baby there at the time which helped!) and it took 2 weeks…"
MatW replied to Nicola Rudall's discussion Best gastro-paediatrician in london - promise!"We have a fantastic paediatrician on the NHS at Portsmouth so there is hope! Before the appointment, we made a list of symptoms and one of my friends with similar problems videoed her baby in distress. We didn't need to as our LO was crying all…"
MatW replied to nicola glanville's discussion To breast feed or not to breast feed"Hi Nicola, just a thought but do you think stronger drugs from a paediatrician might be what your LO needs to control the reflux? We had to try 3 types of medication before our LO had great relief from Lansoprazole. (I am on a dairy and beef free…"
MatW replied to nicola glanville's discussion Advice on going dairy free"Just to add our experiences - my LO used to wake every 2 hours and the only way to get him back to sleep was to breastfeed him. It's very draining on us Mums isn't it?
We changed to Lansoprazole medication after trying Gaviscon, Ranitidine…"
MatW replied to Verity's discussion Advice on introducing high risk allergy foods."We have a baby with silent reflux and a milk intolerance and gave him vegetables and fruit from 17 weeks until 6 months. We saw a dietician and they suggested introducing a new food for 5 days to see if there's a reaction. Our LO has since…"
