Thinking of baby nbr 2 but scared that one will have reflux too - experiences pls
13 Replies

Hi all My 23 month old has suffered from silent reflux since he was 3 weeks old. It took me 4 1/2 months to convince docs it was due to cmpi so as you can imagine, our first 4 1/2 months with our…Continue

Neocate Nutra

Hi all I've started giving my 12 month old some Neocate Nutra as a pudding and he loves it.  I was so relieved as puddings are such a challenge for us as he has multiple food…Continue

HI all My 11 month old is lactose intollerant and has cows' milk protein allergy.  He's on 3 good meals a day plus Nutramigen AA.  I thought it was time to start introducing some of the foods he's…Continue

Really random question! Recipe needed please :)

Hello! It's coming up to 2 months until my little one's 1st birthday and I'd like to bake him a cake, but it has to be dairy, wheat, gluten, egg, soya, goats' milk free.  I was thinking a carrot or…Continue

My 23 month old has had an amber/hazelwood necklace for a long time now.  We've just bought him a new one as I kept forgetting to take it off when he was in the bath (amber and shampoo or shop don't mix).  i don't know if…

My sons paedaetrician told me that 1 in 2 babies have reflux but to varying levels.  Would say you have a 50/50 chance of having another reflux baby but would say not to have that as a deciding factor on having another baby as you may regret it…

My first little one was a happy spitter and number two had terrible reflux.  We aren't planning number 3 as I feel too old!  But would presume they would have reflux as well if we did.   I agree with Jenny about it becoming…

Hello!  I too have uploaded a few pics on my profile of samuel in the last 23 months and I would really appreciate if you could please give me your opinion.  If you think he has oral issues, would you mind describing what you…

My 1st baby didn't have reflux but no 2 does. I would like a third eventually so this is an interesting discussion for me too.

I've asked this a few times as we haven't completely ruled out a number 3. DS1 was fine, DS2 has silent reflux and CMPI. Our consultant says we are unlikely to have another refluxer, but as questioning my mother makes me think I probably…

Thanks AA. When I decided to stop expressing I gradually reduced pumping and was ending up with so much more milk than before! I persevered and my milk eventually disappeared but it took a long time! I had lots of support in the hospital for…

Samuel's weight gain was normal for his centile so he didn't put loads of weight on and wasn't an overly hungry baby on breastmilk. I don't think tongue tie was ever mentioned or checked. Could this still affect him now? Could it…

Thanks for your reply AA. He was on expressed breast milk. I really struggled with breastfeeding but I must say I got lots of support in hospital to help me get it right. I actually found breastfeeding more painful than childbirth. I had a lot of…

Hi I don't know all that many people who have had refluxers (except us of course), however I do know 2 people who have had severe silent refluxers with their first baby and absolutely no problems at all with baby number two.  Nicole is my…

Hi Geri, I was in just the same place as you last winter. I have one refluxer who is fab and I wouldn't change but she is such a sociable child we felt we owed her a brother or sister to play with. I am now 20 weeks pregnant, which will give us…

Thank you all for your replies!  It's great to hear positive stories out there and to see how well you have all coped with nbr 2! Verity, it's taken me 23 months to start thinking about number 2, thinking only, not…

This is so interesting but it mostly focuses on newborns.    I don't believe we've ever had issues with tongue ties but I think we got to the bottom of why samuel was refluxing (silent).  I knew straight away it was cmpi and…
