Gagging, Wheezing ...
Infant Reflux??My baby
is almost 10 weeks old and since the beginning has been wheezy.
She's not really congested (nose drops and bulb don't really get
anything) and has been to dr for several check ups with no
congestion in lungs. She doesn't cry a lot, but seems uncomfortable
- arches her back, jerky movements, etc. She won't sleep on her
own, when I lay her down on mattress elevated with a
Pillow underneath she squirms around until
eventually spitting or crying. She is most comfortable sleeping on
my chest (she is on her belly and I am elevated, not laying flat).
When I lift her from semi flat position she gags and has chunky
spit up in her throat (which she swallows). I am breast feeding and
she eats all the time, most waking hours. I don't think that her
problem is that she is getting too much milk, or too little. I cut
out dairy a few weeks ago as it seemed to be giving her a rash. I
am vegetarian and eat a lot of soy product. I started giving her
gripe water a couple of weeks ago which got rid of some gas she
had, but hasn't resolved gagging and weezing. She is more
comfortable acting than before, but still cannot lay on her own.
She is gaining weight, and having poopy diapers a couple times per
day and diapers are also wet, but something is not right. For my
sanity I need to lay her down to sleep.
