Reflux, there is a light at the end of the tunnel

This is my first blog but I thought as it's January I'm trying new things. As my blogger name suggests I am a young (22) mum of two. I have a 2 year old and a 9 month old. With my first child Frankie everything was fine, he was harldy ill and as a stay at home mum I was able to devote my time to just him. However when my second child came along I had a completly different experience. He was born a month early and suffered with reflux I had never heard of it before but it turns out that quite a few babies suffer from it. After 8 days in the hospital I finally get my bundle of joy home and thats where the fun started! Every time he was fed he threw it back up and would need to be fed again. I was breastfeeding as its something I love and I couldn't imagine having to make up bottle after bottle in case he threw it back up. Most nights he spent between 7pm til 10pm attached to me. It was a very hard first few months. He was put on Gaviscon but I had to mix it with water and feed it to him as I couldn't mix it into his milk. I asked them for something else becuase he just rhew up the Gaviscon so they put him on domperidone and ranitidine which helped with the pain and he seemed to be throwing up less. George is now, as I've said, 9 months old and is starting to eat the foods that we eat only mushed. It means he is getting much better and only throws but drinks now. He is also off all medication and getting better everyday. So for all those Mum's who think it will never end, it will! Just be patient there is light at the end of the tunnel!
