upped reflux meds but worse?

Hi Skyler!
Im so sorry about ur LO! I honestly feel your pain! My LO used to vomit alot, but never thought much of it - he is my first and thought it was "normal" as he did not cry. It started getting worse and worse. Then all of a sudden he started getting worse and worse, untill one day he also just screamt ALL day! and battled to feed!
(In the process we put him on Novalac AR which helped a bit)
He was about 3 months when he had his BAD day!

We started him on half a tablet of Losec which didnt help for the first few days. I spoke to the sister and she said that we must crush it, put it in a syringe and leave it for half an hour to disolve before giving it to him, then feed. And we must give it to him in the morning. Since we did that He ois like a diff child. And he practically finished his bottle at every feed! it is sometimes a battle, but we winning

I Find that when My lo is crying - i also put him on my shoulder and he stops - now thats the way we calm him down.

A few pointers that Ive been using which helps ALOT (you may already know)
- Try not to move him around to much after feeding
- Try keep him up for 20-30mins after feeding
- when putting him to sleep - try keep his upper body slightly elevated - It all seems to help (During the day i let my LO sleep in his pram with the back slightly elevated)

Keep strong - it will get better, but I really do feel your pain!

Let me know how it goes!

Hi ladies i really need your help and input as i am close to tears with my son.

Background, he is 12 weeks had reflux from early on, he is on Nan hypoallergenic formula and has been taking losec (in liquid form from chemist) since about 6 weeks.... lately it didnt seem to be working anymore (in the beginning it did) so the doc said i must rather use the tablet form and crush it... plus he doubled the dosage. His reflux used to be majority vomiting and every now and again pain (but not really that bad)

BUT NOW....

ON Friday i started upping his losec as prescribed and also tried anti reflux formula. On Saturday morning he had bad cramps ... in the day which is never, so first i thought it was the new formula so i went back to the nan HA.... so that i can at least see if it was the new formula giving him pain .... The whole of saturday i had to give him colic mix to calm him and stop him being in pain.

So today., sunday.. he was fine this morning then came afternoon okay we were out which made him irritable so we came home he was refusing to sleep and crying so we thought it was cause he was overtired.... then gave him bottle at 3pm and he cried i mean cried through the bottle and then still refused to sleep (i was at shops for this bottle poor hubby was dealing with this) he was vomiting everywhere.... so i got home and rocked him and let him sleep in my arms at about 4pm, then at 5pm he woke up screaming, all of a sudden !!!! like in pain so i put him on my shoulder and he is fine, then i lay him in my arms and he screams, shoulder fine.... which makes me think its the refulx and not cramps..... then he vomits and cries so its defo the reflux.... now DH is feeding him the 7pm bottle and i can hear him moan and a little cry now and again while drinking

I really dont know what is going on the meds have increased so it should be helping.... am now thinking its worse... gonna see tomorrow and then call the doc again i guess

I am just so angry for my son and heartsore i just wanted to cry as the poor boy is in such pain and there is nothing i can do

I just dont understand why its now even worse than before but we have increased the dosage of the medication????
