Hi everyone, I am facing the 45 minute naps (4-5 a day)so took me a while to get back here.
LucyA, we are neighbors in all ways, I am a Hungarian living in Luxembourg
scarlett'smom, To answer your question on the symptomps I thought to put on paper (screen:)) our story so far.
reflux:
DS always had very strong hiccups and explosive poos. Everyone said it was okay I should not worry. Then when he was around 10 w he started to be fussy when eating (EBF), you know how it is sooo frustrating that instead of having a very calm relaxing time when feeding lo screams, cries..So here is what I did:
1- getting rid of his dummy, some say it can confuse the baby (major fight with DH about the dummy
)
2. - I thought I did not have enough milk so I started pumping-- result: overproduction and DS getting even more fussy when feeding
then we had two days when he started to spit up, but not too much and not always, then it got worse, more frequent more quantity, then I ran to the ped. He said DS had a reflux, by that time I was suspecting that.WE got I ml Gaviscon after each feeding.
In a week time he refused eating the whole day, I ran to the emergency around 16 pm, they said it was colic and we got SAB simplex. Again in 6 six days he refused eating and cried like a soprano opera singer, again to the doctor, he said it was not the colic, but a big reflux. We got Motilim 3x a day plus kept Gaviscon.
We had one non eating days since that and I took him to the emergency. they said I should not take him there just give him paracetamol and wait until he calms down and then feed him.
ekzema:
He always had those buttons on the face, everyone said it is a normal reaction to the milk and will be gone, well it didn't plus we got some yellow substance behind the ears. Ped said to hydrate his skin. I did but obviously not enough. Then came the big eating time of christmas. His face became red and yellow dried layer on the top, very ungly. I noticed on the head and a little on the arm leg. We went to the dermatologist and got the typical treatment. I a worried about the hydrocortison.
It is getting better but he scratching his had and that is terrible to watch
I also had eczema before so I just know from experience how bad that is. I got rid of it five years ago with a very restricted diet. Mid- december it came back on two fingers, but I had so many other things to take care of that I just did not do anything about it. Well I should have known better, we are the source of the well being of our little babies so we have to take care of ourselves too! Maybe if I had started to have a restricted diet already mid-December my lo would have not developed eczema. Seems to me that we might be sensitive to the same food.
Other symptoms: he has mucousy stool for about 10 days. Doctor saw once and said it could be a small virus infection of the bowels, but nothing to worry about. Do you know what else it can mean? It is not normal isnt it?
Lo is waking, gotta go, now he only slept 30 minutes. Surely OT, we are getting to the vicious circle of short napping, jesus!
I ll come back later. I started to take notes from your messages not to forget important stuff. E.g. I did NOT think of taking calcium supplement!
hugs
