Q: Not sleeping and stomach discomfort
asked by: DoctorQuestion on November 8th, 2009
Hello
My daughter is 8 weeks / 5.1kg (at birth 2.9kg)
5 days out of 7 she sleeps not more than 1hr at a time (except during the night when she sleeps 5/6 hrs) and she shows clearly signs that she has milk coming back her throat. She does not spit-up every time she eats only let's say 1/2 times a day (does not vomit). she is also grunting very often (goat like sounds). she cries and shows discomfort almost all the time when she is awake. she has lets say maximum 2 hrs a day when she is awake and not crying or grunting.
i can also see that she gags (like silent reflux) sucking very heavily her pacifier as she would like to get more saliva to swallow.
the doctor gave us some powder to thicken her milk. It's been 3/4 weeks and she is still not well (doing slightly better I would say)
we also had an x ray done when she was 5weeks old showing no stomach or esophagus issues. How long should I wait and what else to do?
