Nice to know I am not alone. it is so hard to not be able to comfort him, it's breaking my heart, and ear drums.

[@merve6919]

Same it really is hard 😔

[@digi6939]

Try to see if he has tongue tie or lip tie our pediatrician miss diagnosed him but a lactation consultant said that he had severe lip tie and that helped enormously once we had it revised

Is your washing machine breaking too🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣...

hi guys, the greatest info that ive had was with the Fergs Treatment Crusher (i found it on google) - definately the most helpful method that I've tried.

[@anselmolinero4983]

I'm studying treating heartburn at home and found an awesome resource at Fergs Treatment Crusher (check it out on google)

[@monicapacheco9666]

Even 3 years later I am so grateful to see this post, my baby girl is almost 6 months and I thought if she was colicy than she would get better and feel better and that hasn’t changed. I have so many questions.

[@miso9896]

omg this is mostly what’s happening with my newborn! so glad to hear this. it’s just heartbreaking and frustrating not being to alleviate baby’s discomfort ☹️🥺 not to mention im a first-time mom. in our case, baby also has silent reflux.. sometimes she’d wake up in the middle of her sleep with the urge to throw up something ☹️ when we got to the doctor she advised us to cut out dairy products except for plant-based ones and try side-lying and laying baby on her stomach for a few minutes before fully laying her on her back at an inclined position. she also advised me to pump a bit of milk before nursing baby to avoid the mild choking..

[@DEFW21]

It felt so good to hear you say your baby cluster feeds non stop! No one believed me when I said that about my baby, everyone thought I was just a tired new mom! Nursing baby upright helped my boy a lot too

Thank you so much for this video. My doctor actually did say my diet. I was the one like no I don’t think so. Lol because I love food. So I’m definitely going to try the no coffee and dairy first for 2 weeks. Gas drops did not work at all so it has to be acid reflux

[@TheWorldOfRipX]

We are dealing with this with our new daughter. She is a multi racial adoption. Sadly my wife does not breastfeed, but she also doesn't drink dairy or caffeine by default. Our daughter is born with CDH and we were told that that was part of the effects once the surgery was done. She has to eat through a g tube, and prevacid is one of her medications. It's just really hard when they cry and you can't do anything to soothe them, and just hope that one day they will grow out of it. Happy for all of here that are able to find relief for their babies

[@camillamills8882]

Hey, thank you for doing this video, sounds so much like my 3 week year old. How quickly did you see results with cutting out dairy and caffeine?

[@StarSnow1101]

This is so helpful

[@angelinakopnisky6068]

Oh, thank you for sharing. This sounds like my 14 week old. It is frustrating and sad to see him go through this. And he wants to comfort feed but I know it won’t make it completely better and will make it worst. I’ll have to talk to his doctor.

[@tiie.2282]

Thank you so much for this video I have an 11 month old( just turn today) and she fits this to a T! She arches her back screams tries to even jump burps out and it is very hard to see her in that manner and not be able to do anything. We have been to the hospital two times and both times they did the same thing her pediatrician was already doing in her pediatrician is very short and listens to every other word I say, so she doesn't have a good grasp of the magnitude. she downplays the situation, and says she's not hurting she's just in discomfort. I literally believe this is happening because she is a biracial child black and white and we are one of the few minorities in the office and we are on Medicaid. I don't know if it's just me but she's been going through this for at least 6 months and it's getting harder and harder to burp her. Thank you so much for posting a video like this I've learned more information from you than her pediatrician and your first step (with Zantac/ prevacid) was like our fifth step that her doctor recommended, so it really shows when doctors are holding back. this gives mothers Justice when the doctors fail because at the end of the day it's not their kid it's the mothers.

[@funsized924]

Thanks for this video. I've been really struggling with helping my baby with her reflux. The doctor put her on medicine, I cut things out of my diet, eventually switched her to hypoallergenic formula and she's a little better but still has reflux so at her 2 month appt I'm going to ask the Dr to put her on something else or increase her dose or something. Poor girl is even uncomfortable when she's sitting upright. I also find it annoying when people say "oh just you wait this is nothing" well you try settling down a colicky newborn for hours and hours day in and day out. It's not easy.

[@toddschoonover5919]

We had the same problem with our baby boy. Initially my wife went on a VERY restricted diet to "clean up" her breast milk, but it didn't help. We went on a hypoallergenic formula at that point (around 3 months old). Starting and upping meds definitely helped a lot. Eventually ours was on Esomeprozale (Nexium) twice per day, Famotidine (pepsid) once per day, and Mylanta as needed. Adding oatmeal (1 tsp per oz) to his bottles helped too. All this was under the supervision of our GI, of course. IF you haven't been to a GI, go. Pediatricians are not equipped to handle the special requirements of a reflux baby. It really was just a waiting game, though. He seemed to start getting much better around the time he started sitting independently (which for us was 6 months). As a consequence of his reflux, he fell behind on some developmental milestones since he HATED tummy time. We ended up seeing a PT weekly and that helped a ton! Let me know if you have any questions.

[@almu100]

no medication worked for us only time...

[@TheLoveWithYing]

Good to hear that you went the diet route. I have acid reflux and Zintac is terrible, diet change is definitely the best thing. I am going to try to get the diary out of my diet, my lo start to get the same symptoms these 2 weeks, and I think that about the time I started to drink milk. But I think my lo has mild colic, which also can be affected by mom's diet. My lo likes lay down and we tried colic remedies and they worked.

I truly hope that you get to have a happy, sleepy newborn experience too someday. My first baby also had reflux/colic and when the sun went down I would get so depressed because I was so tired, but knew I wasn't going to get any sleep. It was one of the hardest times in my life. I feel ya for sure! We have three kids now and both of the others were dream newborns. I am so thankful for that. The good thing is that you know what to do to help the next one if you need to, but I sure hope you don't have that experience again.

[@ralur4287]

Thank you for sharing your experience, seeing my baby is not the only one like this helps me get some peace of mind... first time mom here, and the struggle is real!!! Silent reflux is a b*tch... we're mostly feeding her anti-reflux formula now and that gets things a lot better, nursing remained only as desert 😅 kept for the imune system benefits. Sleeping at an inclined angle (I placed under her matress like half of the hubby's old law books lol, we keep saying she's bound to love the law field after sleeping on them) and the swing thing is a life saviour even tho she's not technically supposed to sleep there. But hey, whatever makes the baby feel better and get some sleep during the day. We thought it was colics first and tried out a bunch of colic products but ended up with only 1 simeticone based product and 1 probiotic. Could have been a combination of both colics and reflux tho, because she also farts a lot hah. I've cut dairy out of my diet and it seems a bit better I suppose...for cutting out caffeine is decaf ok to use instead?

[@tonytotts3132]

Mine has reflux , right now. He is one month old and sleeps best on his stomach.

Hi!! Thanks for the video. Was it just caffeine or the actual coffee itself? I have tried cutting so many things out. I drank decaf for at least a week, with no dairy or soy in my diet for the longest time, and he still has issues ! Maybe its coffee in general?

My baby (5 weeks) just yesterday started with reflux like symptoms. Like you said, he doesn't spit up but while feeding or holding him he arches his back and cries a lot. Not for a long time but he does like little high pitched cries, like in pain. I have a doctor's appointment coming up so we'll see how it goes. Thanks for sharing your experience, it really helps other moms going through the same thing, you worry a lot about your little one and when u see other babys at 7 months that went through this it keeps your hopes up.

Very good information; now it all makes sense to me, and I finally understand why my first baby didn't like the swing. Also one note on diet. My friend who is an Indian didn't have these problems but guess what; they don't drink coffee or cows milk

[@coolglamour561]

Cows milk is the most consumed product in India. We consume cottage cheese (paneer), milk, ghee (clarified butter). All these are staples in all the Indian households.

Hi my baby is 3 months old and with acid reflux may i know if your baby take his medecine before to prevent heart burn or u just did dieting? And my baby want to feed every one hour is it normal do i need to stop it?

[@Pastor-Dom]

Literally same exact stuff that happens with our baby. Its very hard to deal with .

[@eminemilly]

Its because the black and white Holstein cows were forced to produce so much milk they now have a mutation in the milk protein. They have a1 protein instead of a2 like humans and others mammals. cows and goats etc. do. So you can try to switch to gost dairy or a2 (heritage breed( dairy including cheese etc. It shouldn't be any different than your own milk protein. A baby can get too much lactose though if they get more foremilk than hindmilk so its good not to switch breasts too quickly also

[@LeoWedsLeo]

Hi, Thanks a lot for making this video. My daughter is extremely cranky (35 day old) from last 3 days and especially during the nights and all symptoms were related to acid reflux. My wife has stopped coffe n milk during pregnancy but she has started consumnv the same one week back and today just to get to the root cause of it she stopped coffe n milk and the results are visible, today my little one slept peacefully... I have taken her to doctor as well and as u mentioned , he didn't spoke anything related to diet but one good thing he has prescribed is "bio Gia protectic" drops for 21 days basically to increase the healthy gut bacteria.

I had this with my son too I can relate to this sooo much i read that it takes two weeks for dairy to leave your body then two weeks to leave baby’s body so really u should be waiting four weeks after cutting out dairy to see if there was a difference... so maybe you can have caffeine? There’s something about this issue where doctors and other ppl for that matter hate believing it’s true and that it’s the actual problem. There is a difference and you can tell. I cut out dairy for my daughter and realised that she didn’t have the same issue as my son I think she just may have reflux as a mother you know your baby

If the tea has caffeine such as black tea, green tea, Yerba Mate. But not all teas have caffeine. Herbal teas don't usually have caffeine.

[@oopsburntoast]

Note: one additional thing that we’ve found soooo helpful is to hold our baby up for at least 20 minutes after feedings. Yes, time confusing but so worth it. And you get more time to bond with them. It will get better! This story sounds very familiar but luckily I spoke with a nurse after a month that gave some helpful tips as it was sooo rough. I also cut out dairy and caffeine. My baby was also having gas pains. Doing the things you mention plus holding upright at least 20 min really has helped. Persistence. We never had her sleep at an incline tho as it just worried me too much to not keep her flat.

[@nitika1111]

Hi .. how long did it take to get rid of reflux?

[@oopsburntoast]

@@nitika1111 when you say get rid of it i'm assuming you mean get it under control? it's been long enough now my memory of it is a bit foggy but i think symptoms of my baby getting painful reflux symptoms greatly reduced within two weeks of holding her up after each feeding plus taking care to not overfeed her as I had been. it was time consuming each day but so well worth it! as she's gotten older i still hold her up but just so she doesn't spit up and make a mess. she's almost 9 months and seems to have grown out of much of the reflux and gas that would cause so much pain before.

[@ViperHummel]

Our little girl is formula fed (bf didn’t work due to medical issues) and she’s silent refluxing terribly. Our pedi said try cereal for a week. It’s only getting worse. Pedi said next might be Pepcid. I’m convinced it’s going to be the formula, but I don’t want to chase the issue around by having too many variables. Our first wasn’t this bad. She didn’t sleep, but she was happy. This one... ugh. Thanks for sharing your story! Hopefully we’ll figure this out sooner than later.

[@itszoura3394]

This is happening with my first baby. Do you have any formula recommendations? My baby is getting fortified feeds

[@ViperHummel]

@@itszoura3394 we had gone all the way down to Elecare which didn’t help at all there was zero improvement and her bowels were bad. We ended up using Alimentum and dealt with it. I have no idea if it was connected, but she turned out to have a lactose issue. She’s 2, thriving and on Ripple Milk Kids. Pepcid helped, but is very weight sensitive. 30 day supply gave us really only 20 days of improvement. We were put on Omeprazol but didn’t go past 1 day bc the reflux spiked so much worse. I held that baby almost 8 months to help her get sleep. Advocate for your child. The Pedi won’t. They will question you about your experience when you research and raise concerns. We pushed for a GI consult which did help understanding, but we were lucky with the severity. She was bad, but I’ve heard of way worse.

@@alm1720 I cut out coffee, unfortunately my living situation doesn’t allow me to cut out dairy rn, but no coffee is HUGE!!! She’s so much more comfortable and she doesn’t spit as much

[@annathomas206]

You mentioned that your baby needs to be nursed frequently to soothe his reflux symptoms. My baby seems to have the same issue. Do you recommend letting him nurse or just let him cry it out since overfeeding could worsen the reflux?

[@zhangjenny9780]

same problem here..My older son has reflux, and any excessive cry or overfeed would make him vomit or spit up. May I ask what's your choice and how did it go?

[@HollyHomebody]

Girl idk 😅💆‍♀️ it was rough. I wish I knew the best thing to do

When did your baby roll over?My baby has acid reflux and she is 4 months now.She doesn't like to roll over.

[@JazzyFox101]

My baby is almost 5 weeks old and this is exactly my life right now. I’m going to try eliminating dairy now.

[@hamousaa]

Im at 4 weeks now, feeling so frustrated. When did it get better?

[@deshajames5631]

Do you know why my baby cries n gets uncomfortable while eating n to a point where he can't eat sometimes?

[@kitty09090]

The problem with us mothers is that we feel we r to be blamed... Or our diet. My baby has exactly the same symptoms but wen I tell the doctor they say don't diagnose ur baby on basis of google

[@lauragarrett792]

If dairy is suspected, for some, you really need to cut dairy for 4 weeks to really notice a difference, because dairy proteins last in the mom for 2 weeks, and then it takes about 2 weeks for baby to rid their bodies of the dairy proteins.....at least according to my sisters pediatrician (all her kids have dairy allergies)

[@victoriaressler3547]

Agreed. This was true - nearly to the day - with my oldest.

[@eminemilly]

Its because the black and white Holstein cows were forced to produce so much milk they now have a mutation in the milk protein. They have a1 protein instead of a2 like humans and others mammals. cows and goats etc. do. So you can try to switch to gost dairy or a2 dairy including cheese etc. It shouldn't be any different.

[@user-bi2fl8kp9i]

How long after you cut out the caffeine and dairy did you see an improvement?

[@eshratanjum5997]

This is exactly what my one month baby going through and due to this she doesn't have a good sleep.. I don't drink coffee or tea I just drink a glass of milk. I WILL TRY CUTTING THAT OUT , but not sure its going to help or not as I dont have any diary product

[@name1044]

Cows milk proteins can stay in breast milk up to 3 weeks. My daughter had cows milk protein intolerance and my other daughter has acid reflex. I’ve cut everything out of my diet except chicken, plain dairy free bread and applesauce, shes is still on a ppi. Food does effect the breastmilk. Both my kids have seen a gastroenterologist

[@name1044]

Cows milk actually caused her colitis and acid reflex

[@naomisetth8549]

you can get a visit t secretsoftea.com to learn about "babies magic tea", its an herbal tea designed with organic ingredients for babies suffering from colic, wind, or reflux. you can add the tea in baby formula and give it to the baby. this tea is evenly effective for breastfed babies as the mom can drink it and pass it through breast milk.

My 1 month old daughter is having a hard time with reflux and Its so hard to cut dairy can you please make a video of food you use as substitutes, or a what you eat in a day dairy free edition please!!!

[@annahadwen1088]

All my 4 babies had this. They go on hunger strike at about one month and turn from angels to always crying and angry babies. Had to always wear them up right. Had same problem, really fast let down. And the more I nursed, the more milk I got. Medication is the only thing that saved us. In 6 weeks our doctor suggested to stop the meds and it worked, our 4th one didn’t need the meds anymore. I tried to eliminate foods etc, but nothing helped. Thanks for the video though! I am glad you figured it out much faster than us😂

[@chocolatepie84]

When did the spitting up stop?

[@ellengreene3537]

Hey my baby has reflux as well and struggles to sleep on her own on any surface inclined or not. She seems to only be happy sleeping on my chest inclined (which I know isn’t safe). How long did it take for your little one to sleep on his own at night for any time period?

I myself have reflux and some of my siblings do. (Hereditary from my dad) it’s so hard to see my baby dealing with some of this and just hoping it’s only though infant hood and not continuing

[@asfiaazam9552]

Hey Holly, you mentioned you had a faster letdown which led him to gulp and choke. My baby has the exact same symptoms as yours did. But I think it’s mostly because he’s swallowing too much air while feeding due to my heavy letdown and he’s also constantly burping and full of gas. Do you think I need to change my diet or just try different feeding positions first to help slow the milk? Please help!

[@HollyHomebody]

I received your insta message and responded there! xo

Use a wedge baby pillow. It opens the baby's airways and help them breath easier. Try karmil wedge pillow from amazon it is super safe and made out of organic materials www.amazon.com/dp/B07QHZF21T

To all mamas here, does this effect babies capability of digesting dairy when they start solids?

[@meilynnsoto]

Hi holly! This video was so insightful because it seams my bubba is going through the same thing... I have one question though.. was your baby’s stool liquidy/frothy? That’s the only thing my baby has that you didn’t mention, so I’m trying to narrow things down! 😭🙏🏼

[@marliehoyos8722]

MeiLynn Soto you figure out your baby’s issue yet?

[@meilynnsoto]

Hi Marlie, I haven’t! I’m gonna get him tested for allergies when he turns 3 months. His stool is still the same and I have been off dairy and red meats and even eggs! I am also giving him Zantac, which his fussiness is better but that’s about it! Work in progress I guess

[@tiffanyb5922]

MeiLynn Soto are you breastfeeding? Frothy usually means your hind and foremilk are off somehow like the way your pumping isn’t for a fully cycle to empty out your breasts?

[@araigot1]

I’ll try cutting out caffeine and dairy. Thank you.

[@HollyHomebody]

araigot1 good luck!
