Blood?

My LO is 11 weeks and has reflux. It is not as severe as for many of your LO and I'd say we are coping just about ok at the moment on gaviscon, use of a wedge, and elimination of dairy and soya from…Continue

Quick question about sleep positioners

My 11 week old is sleeping with a wedge and a bebecal sleep positioner. He also sleeps on his tummy to help the reflux, despite the risk. Anyway, he still slides down and off the wedge even with the…Continue

Hi am new to site. Have 7 week old with reflux. He also has kidney problems and is on low dose daily antibiotics. I'm sure they are not helping or are even underlying cause of the reflux. Just…Continue

Sara Catherine Emmerton replied to Sara Catherine Emmerton's discussion Blood?"I had such an awful day. GP refused to give even ranitidine saying he was too small. I cried and she sent me to A&E as she said that was all she could do. On call paed tried to fob me off saying it was my blood then looked in his mouth and said…"

i had a similar thing with my LO she had specks of blood on her babygrow some times back in the early days. The GP poo-poohed the idea that it was anything to do with reflux but when i spoke to the Gastro about it he said it wouldve been…"
Jenny Rawling replied to Sara Catherine Emmerton's discussion Blood?"May be something entirely unrelated, don't feel bad! Not normal though so def get it checked."
Sara Catherine Emmerton replied to Sara Catherine Emmerton's discussion Blood?"Jen I feel terrible as thought he was doing well but must have been suffering silently. At least going to do something now. Will push for ranitidine and ask them to speed up referral. Thanks for support, you are so knowledgeable! Sara x "
Jenny Rawling replied to Sara Catherine Emmerton's discussion Blood?"I think at the least I'd be back at the GP getting it checked out, Sara. Ulceration of the oesophagus from acid damage is certainly one possibility. Are you not on any anti-acid medication at the moment? The GP should be able to prescribe…"

My LO is 11 weeks and has reflux. It is not as severe as for many of your LO and I'd say we are coping just about ok at the moment on gaviscon, use of a wedge, and elimination of dairy and soya from my diet. He has about 1-3 episodes of pain a day but they are not as bad as they were when he was 4-6 weeks old. Anyway, I have noticed small bits of blood on his sheet near his mouth, on three occasions. Have any of you known this? Could this be due to damage to his oesophagus? Do I need to worry?…See More

Sara Catherine Emmerton posted a discussionQuick question about sleep positioners
My 11 week old is sleeping with a wedge and a bebecal sleep positioner. He also sleeps on his tummy to help the reflux, despite the risk. Anyway, he still slides down and off the wedge even with the sleep positioner. I wonder if this is because he is tummy sleeping or whether I'm not using the positioner correctly or whether the snooze wrap might be better? Does anyone have experience of the snooze wrap with a tummy sleeping baby?
