My BB was born at 30 weeks, premature rupture of membranes – took me by surprise when my water broke and 72 hours later out he came, natural birth. Now he is 7 1/2 months old, 5 months corrected, and we’re having tummy problems. I know we’ve had them from the beginning, but they’re peaking now.
he’s always had gurgles in his tummy, intestines really, and everyone who’s ever held him comments on it. But the DR never said it was a concern. He’s never slept well at night, he’s on BM only, and we recently started solids because he’s hungry all the time!!
But over the last month, the night time wakings with the legs straight out, the moaning, the tossing and turning, the crying, the fussing and not wanting to be put down on his back or side finally made me make an appt with the family DR to see what is going on. Surely to goodness he should sleep more than 90 mins!! And me too 🙂
He thinks it’s reflux. We’re on Zantac, 1ml in the am and 1ml at bedtime. Baby weighs 16lb, and I’m wondering if this is a strong enough dosage. DR said to try it for 2 weeks and if no change, stop….he’ll grow out of it.
Any one else out there have similar story??
