Please help! Newborn with silent reflux...

I have a nearly 2 week old daughter who is displaying all the signs of silent reflux. We went through the same thing with our first and it nearly destroyed me and my marriage. We tried everything and nothing helped, it was a year of hell. I said throughout this pregnancy we can't do that again, but unbelievably here we are it seems. For anyone whose been there was there something that really worked for you? I'm doing all the typical things already.. Elevated cot, breastfeeding upright, holding her upright after feeds etc. Would love to hear some positive stories to replenish my hope. Much thanks from a depleted, desperate mum.

You poor thing! I went through it with both of mine and both times the only thing that worked was prescription.
Have you tried anything from dr

We did with first daughter, infant Gaviscon, Zantac, losec, but with very little success. Which particular prescription worked for your bubs?

I found Zantac was the only one that worked for both of mine.
I know they say losec is stronger but it didn't work for us. They were in the maximum dose for Zantac and while it want perfect it was a hell of a lot better and could see difference if we missed a dose.
Id def try it again with new bub and hopefully it helps.
Otherwise I got told by a few people to see a pediatric chiropractor. We never did but I was told lots of positives from them for silent reflux.
Good luck!!

I bought "colic calm" online ... It was literally like magic. I put off using anything for a good 6 weeks but in the end I wish I tried it sooner.

You can buy it from www.coliccalm.com.au

Read reviews/ watch videos on YouTube ... This stuff is amazing!
