You may have come across this before but if not, it is basically similar to indigestion/heartburn in adults but tends to be much more uncomfortable in infants. My sons didn't actually vomit (they had silent reflux) but it is more usual to spit up with it. For my older son, it was as simple as adding some Infant Gaviscon to every feed and he was a different child overnight. He also grew out of it and it vastly improved when he began taking solid food. It was a bit more complicated with my younger son - we tried many things before finding that Kolanticon Gel works for him. He is almost 3 now and still needs to take medication or he gets a sore timmy and goes off his food. My daughter shows no signs of reflux at all. We are in the UK so the medication may be named differently in the US but I would suggest googling reflux and see what you come up with. You may need to persuade your Doctor also as reflux seems to be a condition that doctors are reluctant to diagnose (I had to tell my Doc that I wasn't leaving the surgery until I got Infant Gaviscon!). Hope this helps and, failing that, you're right of course - my mantra - "THIS TOO SHALL PASS" ...<br /><br />Debbie Mitchell x<br />debbie.mitchell@freeuk.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5231571105328335722.post-78776182736639340662010-04-01T12:44:23.585-05:002010-04-01T12:44:23.585-05:00If there's one thing I learned being a mom of ...If there's one thing I learned being a mom of 4 (now teenagers) it is exactly that.
