She would smile then scream and go red in the face in zero time. She arches her back,stiffens her whole body just before a scream,brings her legs up. Its terrible to see them like it, i have hardley slept since shes born but i have tips that might help.<BR/>Ella my girl has been given renitidine medicine to stop the reflux and gaviscon to stop her vomiting after and between feeds. She would also fight having her feed by throwing her body backwards.<BR/>she has it bad and has been it hospital 4 times with it.<BR/>The tips are:<BR/>Never lay your little boy down flat, always prop him up with pillows while feeding and changing etc, even sleeping he must be on an angle (my girl now sleeps in her stroller).<BR/>Always change his nappy before a feed neva after as this agravates the reflux.<BR/>Always keep him upright sitting on your lap etc for 1hr 30 mins after each feed while winding him. Whwn they are layed down or played with after food it makes it a lot worse!!<BR/>Good luck if u need anything else just let me know.<BR/>Follow my tips and you will have a happier baby.Ella JUST DOES IT ABOUT ONCE A WEEK NOW!!princesslinzihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12199117596747136582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7300888229593260012.post-60464623389221226532008-07-07T19:39:00.000-05:002008-07-07T19:39:00.000-05:00Hi girl! Thanks for becoming a "neighbor" at blog ...Hi girl! Thanks for becoming a "neighbor" at blog catalog! I JUST joined there, and I have no idea what I'm doing!<BR/>Anyway...I read through your posts and I'm thinking the GERD post and this post about screaming and arching the back and becoming stiff are related. My middle, Em, had GERD. I'm still amazed we had another after the hell she put us through with that condition. She did exactly what you're saying...smiling one minute, then screaming and doing the body arching and stiffening the next. I think it's pain. And she won trophies in spit-up distance, another wonderful symptom of GERD.<BR/>I'm not a dr., though, so please continue to follow-up with this!!! Good luck, and I'll be seeing you around!Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09634733644664392980noreply@blogger.com
