We saw babu this evening ans got gaviscone and ranitidine prescribed. Was a relief to just speak to someone who took us serioulsy. Let us see how we get on. C x

Ok, after balwing my eyes out at dmc (cried more than baby) we finally got ref and thanks to lovely bupa scheme we are on our way to kings to se dr babu vadumalayan.. Here is to hope!

Thank you all! Cant thank you enough

Thank you so much! Another rough night. Cant wait for monday morning as i am planning to be at gp surgery by opening time and refusing to leave without a referal letter. If i get the same gp who told me he will grow out of it by by weeks then i may go slightly mad. This poor child is clearly in agony, how that can not be taken seriously is beyond me. Thank you to each and everyone of you who have replied to this thread.

Thank You so much all of you. It sure is a lonely and isolated road especially when you are surronded by mums whose babies sleep through and are thriving in every way. Its easy to feel rather useless. We have had a rough time since birth and are amongst everything else no longer bf. This is for medical reasons so no judgement please- i feel v emotional about it. I do feel that i have failed somehow but try not to think like that. You have all made me feel better so from the bottom of my heart i thank you for taking the time to respond.

Thank you all so much, we have had another very bad night and i just feel so sorry for our lil guy. How do you know if baby is allergic to cows milk? Are there tests or through trial and error? Any advice and recommendations on consultans would be very appreciated. My gp said they grow out of it by six weeks but all the reading i have done and the comments from you guys suggests otherwise?

So Once again i need you ladies. My poor baby is suffering frm reflux and we are getting very desperate for help. Can anyone recommend a consultant? Any other treatments that have been of help? Cranial osteopathy? Sorry for typos but writing as im rocking an inconsolable 4 week old. It breaks my heart to see him in pain (yes and sleep deprivation is getting to me as well...) X

Hej, nu har jag fOtt min son som ar tre veckor sa nu ar jag ocksa mamma! Vill garna ses!

Hey all, Looking forward to meeting but dulwich park abut too far for me at the moment, let me know if anyone fancies peckham ry park or ll. Love caroline X

Sleepdeprivation! Blime, this motherhood thing is abit of a rollercoaster hey?! Please tell me im not the only one in a dressing gown at 4pm, or that im am not the only one with a baba who doesnt sleep more than 2hours at the time? Ha ha ha there was me thinking i could get a 3 week old into a routine... C xx

Yes loads Of first time mums as well as second timers - whose experience has kept me sane throghout this journey. Keep an eye On the thread for meet ups or suggest one yourself and post. See you soon!

Amy I hear you! Have just had to 'give in' for a variety of reasons and the guilt i feel is terrible. Bf is wonderful f it works but for alot of us It dOesnt and it is so upsetting.

Hey melissa, come and join us in the spring babies club!! There is loads of us, the thread is on this forum called spring babies club! Caroline x

I have just had these delivered too as getting Increasingly desperate for my son also 2 1/2 weeks. It def does seem to reduce air he is taking in hilst feeding but as i hav had to up he formula vs breastmilk ratio he too is constipated. Give them a go, wOrth a try!

Hey all, Yes we are opting for the Private route too, as do not have it in me to wait 'a couPle of weeks'. Seeing katie tmrw and if confirmed mr patel in thornton heath On friday. I am concerned about three hourly feeds as my milk supply isnt great but fingers crossed. I am Praying it all will get better. Tomo how are you getting on now Or Is it too early to tell? C xx Y

My two week old was diagnosed by clare at kings earlier this evening. I almost cied with relief as there is finally an explanation to his feeding issues and hysterical crying spells. She has referred him to have his ounge snipped but as always this will take time. I dont think i have his time in me and just want lil one to get it sorted. Can anyone offer any advice on this? Do you know of any consultants who can do this Privately so he doesnt have to wait? I would really as always appreciate any advice. May i just say- i love this forum and all the wisdom out there. As a sleepdeprived first time mum- your experience is so reassuring. Please respond, thanks

Thanks jane, you are right. My partner seems much better at winding him and he is less upset after his dad has done he winding, will keep Practicing. Motherhood is one long learning curve hey :)

Hey, I will not be able to make it either as little man isnt very well. He has been up all night and i suspect colic or reflux but how do you inow which one it is? Heartbreaking to har the little one so upset. Have fun and i hope o catch you all soon

Hi all, Exactly this happend to me too 3 weeks ago when i was 9 months pregnant and on crutches!! Maybe the same lowlife? C

Hi all, Please could someone recommend a good sling for my two week old son. He hates being put down and I thought maybe a sling would help him being closed to me. We have spent the last two weeks cuddled up on the sofa day and night. This of course is lovely but I do need to do the odd tidy at some point and the LO just hates being put down. Any advice? Indebted as always ladies...

I am 2 weeks post delivery, can i join or is it too early?

Well done Emma, and what a beautiful name! Welcome to the world baby Amelie. Can not wait to meet her. Look after yourself and try and get plenty of rest.

I would like to try and make it too! Will do our best but not quite grasped the getting out and aboutwith feeding etc so may have to wait another couple of weeks. C xx

Welcome to the first spring baby girl! Congratulations rosie and what a beautiful name. Cant wait to meet her. C xxx
