Well we went to the PEAD yesterday....what an ordeal. He slept in the pram on the way then cried the entire 2 hours we were there. The doctor said he has a stomach virus and the slily spit up was a sign as was a slimy greenish stool that he did while we were there (as well as urinating all over me because he was in such a state)
Anyway, we talked about reflux and the doctor didn't seem too concerned about it. He focused in on the virus problem, told me it wasn't normal for a LO to cry soooo much and it should be better in a day or so. He told me to give Mycloin drops and if he won't stop crying....a sepository (sp?). Theysaid his cries were cries of pain because his tummy was hurting so much but I am not sure how much of it was an aversion to being at the doctors!
Anyway, that would explaing the eating strike as he needs food but it is uncomfortable and hurts. There have been a few good feeds over the last few days though.
The best news: he is 5810g and has put on 300g in 2 weeks! That is enough to set my mind at rest.
I am not goinjg to give up on the reflux thing though....if it worsens...I will be back wanting more explanations at the doctors.
Let's see.
