Reflux

The night before Max vomitted four times. So I decided to him to see Natalie's pae last night. According to him, Max is having something calls reflux.

Max has been like this on and off, but that night was the worst. Drink, vomit cry, drink vomit cry... Finally he was tired and he slept. Luckily through the night. However, I notice that he always goes a bit cranky approaching midnight, around 12 to 2am. Thank god other time he is fine.

So the doc gave us some medicine to get rid of the gassy stomach and asked us to change his supplement formula to the anti-vomitting one. Last night things were better, thoguh he was still a little cranky during those hours.

Max is rather manja(pampered) by nature compare to Natalie. And he cries a lot more than his sister, when she was three week old.

Natalie was a happy baby who drank a lot, burped well, no vomitting problem, neither a fussy baby. Except she tend to sleep too much in the day and she refused to sleep at night. So I had to hold her in my arm till 3am every night for the first 2 months. It took me a long time to train her to sleep normally. Those were the days. Max seems to have a better sleeping pattern. I hope Max stays that way.

I heard that propping up the baby during sleep/nap will help ease acid reflux.

propping up does help to ease it some- may i just ask- why are you using a supplement formula if you are breastfeeding? unless you are really not producing enough at all and he was losing weight it is not necessary- and if anything will confuse him with breastfeeding it wont be the pacifier it will be the bottle and formula- I would suggest trying to up your supply and switch back to exclusive breast milk- you will have better luck with gassy and reflux prone babies with breast milk as it is easier to digest and lighter on the stomach- more feedings, but healthier happier baby
