I'm pretty sure my DS has reflux. He screams and vomits a lot after nursing. My older DS had it and ended up with Asthma as a complication - so I'm a little crazy about getting this under control fast. Our new Ped does not believe in medicating babies for reflux but is sending us to a pediatric GI specialist just in case. The frustrating part is I can't get an appointment until July 7th (called 3 weeks ago). I checked all of the area hospitals for an earlier appointment but all are booked or not taking new patients. I hate that my little boy has to be miserable for so long while we wait for July. In the meantime I cut out all of the typical triggers ang high allergy foods from my diet to try to help.
I don't understand why some doctors are so against medicating a baby for reflux. Our old Ped was the same way - and my oldest son ended up on a shocking amount of medications as a consequence for asthma, pneumonia etc.
I really feel for all the Mothers and Babies going through this right now.
