It felt so good to hear you say your baby cluster feeds non stop! No one believed me when I said that about my baby, everyone thought I was just a tired new mom! Nursing baby upright helped my boy a lot too
Even 3 years later I am so grateful to see this post, my baby girl is almost 6 months and I thought if she was colicy than she would get better and feel better and that hasn’t changed. I have so many questions.
omg this is mostly what’s happening with my newborn! so glad to hear this. it’s just heartbreaking and frustrating not being to alleviate baby’s discomfort ☹️🥺 not to mention im a first-time mom. in our case, baby also has silent reflux.. sometimes she’d wake up in the middle of her sleep with the urge to throw up something ☹️ when we got to the doctor she advised us to cut out dairy products except for plant-based ones and try side-lying and laying baby on her stomach for a few minutes before fully laying her on her back at an inclined position. she also advised me to pump a bit of milk before nursing baby to avoid the mild choking..
Nice to know I am not alone. it is so hard to not be able to comfort him, it's breaking my heart, and ear drums.

Same exact symptoms for my baby at 5 weeks and he is not 2 months old. At what month did you realize it go away? My baby is on alimentum formula milk. Most sensitive milk

It so nice to know a person isn't alone.
Thank you so much I was going crazy but this is everything I have been experiencing
I’m so happy you shared this because I’m going crazy with my refluxy newborn. I feel so sorry for him I will try no caffeine I’m already dairy free
Good to hear that you went the diet route. I have acid reflux and Zintac is terrible, diet change is definitely the best thing. I am going to try to get the diary out of my diet, my lo start to get the same symptoms these 2 weeks, and I think that about the time I started to drink milk. But I think my lo has mild colic, which also can be affected by mom's diet. My lo likes lay down and we tried colic remedies and they worked.
Oh, thank you for sharing. This sounds like my 14 week old. It is frustrating and sad to see him go through this. And he wants to comfort feed but I know it won’t make it completely better and will make it worst. I’ll have to talk to his doctor.
Thanks for sharing Spicy foods can cause reflux in breast feeding baby if somebody knows please answer
We are dealing with this with our new daughter. She is a multi racial adoption. Sadly my wife does not breastfeed, but she also doesn't drink dairy or caffeine by default. Our daughter is born with CDH and we were told that that was part of the effects once the surgery was done. She has to eat through a g tube, and prevacid is one of her medications. It's just really hard when they cry and you can't do anything to soothe them, and just hope that one day they will grow out of it. Happy for all of here that are able to find relief for their babies
Thank you so much for this video. My doctor actually did say my diet. I was the one like no I don’t think so. Lol because I love food. So I’m definitely going to try the no coffee and dairy first for 2 weeks. Gas drops did not work at all so it has to be acid reflux
Thanks for this video. I've been really struggling with helping my baby with her reflux. The doctor put her on medicine, I cut things out of my diet, eventually switched her to hypoallergenic formula and she's a little better but still has reflux so at her 2 month appt I'm going to ask the Dr to put her on something else or increase her dose or something. Poor girl is even uncomfortable when she's sitting upright. I also find it annoying when people say "oh just you wait this is nothing" well you try settling down a colicky newborn for hours and hours day in and day out. It's not easy.

We had the same problem with our baby boy. Initially my wife went on a VERY restricted diet to "clean up" her breast milk, but it didn't help. We went on a hypoallergenic formula at that point (around 3 months old). Starting and upping meds definitely helped a lot. Eventually ours was on Esomeprozale (Nexium) twice per day, Famotidine (pepsid) once per day, and Mylanta as needed. Adding oatmeal (1 tsp per oz) to his bottles helped too. All this was under the supervision of our GI, of course. IF you haven't been to a GI, go. Pediatricians are not equipped to handle the special requirements of a reflux baby. It really was just a waiting game, though. He seemed to start getting much better around the time he started sitting independently (which for us was 6 months). As a consequence of his reflux, he fell behind on some developmental milestones since he HATED tummy time. We ended up seeing a PT weekly and that helped a ton! Let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you so much for this video I have an 11 month old( just turn today) and she fits this to a T! She arches her back screams tries to even jump burps out and it is very hard to see her in that manner and not be able to do anything. We have been to the hospital two times and both times they did the same thing her pediatrician was already doing in her pediatrician is very short and listens to every other word I say, so she doesn't have a good grasp of the magnitude. she downplays the situation, and says she's not hurting she's just in discomfort. I literally believe this is happening because she is a biracial child black and white and we are one of the few minorities in the office and we are on Medicaid. I don't know if it's just me but she's been going through this for at least 6 months and it's getting harder and harder to burp her. Thank you so much for posting a video like this I've learned more information from you than her pediatrician and your first step (with Zantac/ prevacid) was like our fifth step that her doctor recommended, so it really shows when doctors are holding back. this gives mothers Justice when the doctors fail because at the end of the day it's not their kid it's the mothers.
This is all sounding very, very accurate for my three week old.

Not for a long time but he does like little high pitched cries, like in pain. I have a doctor's appointment coming up so we'll see how it goes.

My first baby also had reflux/colic and when the sun went down I would get so depressed because I was so tired, but knew I wasn't going to get any sleep. It was one of the hardest times in my life. I feel ya for sure! We have three kids now and both of the others were dream newborns. I am so thankful for that. The good thing is that you know what to do to help the next one if you need to, but I sure hope you don't have that experience again.

Thank you for sharing your experience, seeing my baby is not the only one like this helps me get some peace of mind... first time mom here, and the struggle is real!!! Silent reflux is a b*tch... we're mostly feeding her anti-reflux formula now and that gets things a lot better, nursing remained only as desert 😅 kept for the imune system benefits. Sleeping at an inclined angle (I placed under her matress like half of the hubby's old law books lol, we keep saying she's bound to love the law field after sleeping on them) and the swing thing is a life saviour even tho she's not technically supposed to sleep there. But hey, whatever makes the baby feel better and get some sleep during the day. We thought it was colics first and tried out a bunch of colic products but ended up with only 1 simeticone based product and 1 probiotic. Could have been a combination of both colics and reflux tho, because she also farts a lot hah. I've cut dairy out of my diet and it seems a bit better I suppose...for cutting out caffeine is decaf ok to use instead?
Hi!! Thanks for the video. Was it just caffeine or the actual coffee itself? I have tried cutting so many things out. I drank decaf for at least a week, with no dairy or soy in my diet for the longest time, and he still has issues ! Maybe its coffee in general?

If dairy is suspected, for some, you really need to cut dairy for 4 weeks to really notice a difference, because dairy proteins last in the mom for 2 weeks, and then it takes about 2 weeks for baby to rid their bodies of the dairy proteins.....at least according to my sisters pediatrician (all her kids have dairy allergies)

Its because the black and white Holstein cows were forced to produce so much milk they now have a mutation in the milk protein. They have a1 protein instead of a2 like humans and others mammals. cows and goats etc. do. So you can try to switch to gost dairy or a2 dairy including cheese etc. It shouldn't be any different.
Thank you. Will try cutting caffeine!
Hey Holly, you mentioned you had a faster letdown which led him to gulp and choke. My baby has the exact same symptoms as yours did.

Going through this exact thing with my 4 week old :( did you continue on the medications after the dairy/caffeine fixed things? Or are y’all still on that also?

I was wondering the same thing !
I myself have reflux and some of my siblings do. (Hereditary from my dad) it’s so hard to see my baby dealing with some of this and just hoping it’s only though infant hood and not continuing
Soooo my son didn’t have colic😔And he didn’t stay in swings either. I know now why. Thanx😘😘😘
Its because the black and white Holstein cows were forced to produce so much milk they now have a mutation in the milk protein. They have a1 protein instead of a2 like humans and others mammals. cows and goats etc. do. So you can try to switch to gost dairy or a2 (heritage breed( dairy including cheese etc. It shouldn't be any different than your own milk protein. A baby can get too much lactose though if they get more foremilk than hindmilk so its good not to switch breasts too quickly also
Very helpful 👌 Thank you so much 💓
My baby has same issue, she doesn’t like to lay on her back. I am worried that how she will learn rollover and other Motor skills if they don’t lay back. In which month your baby rolled over and started crawling?

Hi...how is baby now? Did she learn evrything u were concerned about? Has she outgrown reflux? Plz reply
This is exactly what my one month baby going through and due to this she doesn't have a good sleep.. I don't drink coffee or tea I just drink a glass of milk. I WILL TRY CUTTING THAT OUT , but not sure its going to help or not as I dont have any diary product
Thank you for sharing this. We've been talking about the reflux with our GP, midwife and and osteopath and none of them suggested to eliminate coffee. Moreover, there's so much information out there about reflux and breastfeeding and I have not seen anything mentioning elimination of caffeine before I started target searching for the combination after watching your video. I feel like there is a lot of theory nowadays which is far from practice and medical professionals are basing themselves on it alone, but as a mom you quickly discover that in reality things work differently and you are forced to look up stuff on your own.
Cows milk proteins can stay in breast milk up to 3 weeks. My daughter had cows milk protein intolerance and my other daughter has acid reflex. I’ve cut everything out of my diet except chicken, plain dairy free bread and applesauce, shes is still on a ppi. Food does effect the breastmilk. Both my kids have seen a gastroenterologist

Through my diet while breastfeeding
Our little girl is formula fed (bf didn’t work due to medical issues) and she’s silent refluxing terribly. Our pedi said try cereal for a week. It’s only getting worse. Pedi said next might be Pepcid. I’m convinced it’s going to be the formula, but I don’t want to chase the issue around by having too many variables. Our first wasn’t this bad. She didn’t sleep, but she was happy. This one... ugh. Thanks for sharing your story! Hopefully we’ll figure this out sooner than later.

@@itszoura3394 we had gone all the way down to Elecare which didn’t help at all there was zero improvement and her bowels were bad. We ended up using Alimentum and dealt with it. I have no idea if it was connected, but she turned out to have a lactose issue. She’s 2, thriving and on Ripple Milk Kids. Pepcid helped, but is very weight sensitive. 30 day supply gave us really only 20 days of improvement. We were put on Omeprazol but didn’t go past 1 day bc the reflux spiked so much worse. I held that baby almost 8 months to help her get sleep. Advocate for your child. The Pedi won’t. They will question you about your experience when you research and raise concerns. We pushed for a GI consult which did help understanding, but we were lucky with the severity. She was bad, but I’ve heard of way worse.
How long after cutting dairy did you see a difference?
He us just too cute!!🤗
My baby is almost 5 weeks old and this is exactly my life right now. I’m going to try eliminating dairy now.

Hey my baby has reflux as well and struggles to sleep on her own on any surface inclined or not. She seems to only be happy sleeping on my chest inclined (which I know isn’t safe). How long did it take for your little one to sleep on his own at night for any time period?

Hi I’m going through the same thing😔 it’s really hard. Did your baby outgrow the reflux now and does he have any allergies?

Merve he is 15 months and he has finally outgrown it :)
All my 4 babies had this. They go on hunger strike at about one month and turn from angels to always crying and angry babies. Had to always wear them up right. Had same problem, really fast let down. And the more I nursed, the more milk I got. Medication is the only thing that saved us. In 6 weeks our doctor suggested to stop the meds and it worked, our 4th one didn’t need the meds anymore. I tried to eliminate foods etc, but nothing helped. Thanks for the video though! I am glad you figured it out much faster than us😂
I find that my baby doesn’t sleep well during the night and also doesn’t nap due to his reflux. Did yours do that? How old was your baby when you got your diet in check for him? Everything you’ve said is EXACTLY my baby... it’s been 10 weeks like this now and I’m worried it’s been not properly treated for too long.

My son is now 8 weeks old and he has these symptoms too. He also didn't nap during the day, crying almost all day long and having a very anxious sleep at nights. I'm now dairy-free for like 4 or 5 weeks (the detoxification need up to 6 weeks) and he takes the nexium medicine for 5 days now. I can see some improvement but all these depends on the baby. It's hard for a pediatrician to diagnose if a baby has or not a silent reflux, i'm not quite sure if mine has too. But as parents, we try everything :) Don't worry about your child, he will be ok in time and he will not even remember it. It's as the mums that gets the most pressure from all of these.
Exactly the same thing is happening to my one month old baby..but our pediatrician didn't diagnose it..I did, thanks to the internet.. all day yesterday he omly slept for a couple of hours.. wouldn't stop crying..now he is sleeping well after i put him on a slightly inclined bed..
