I didn’t think Elvis looked like Helen until I saw her baby picture, he is the spitting image of her.

God I know how she feels. My son was CMPA diagnosed at 11 weeks old but those 11 weeks were HELL. I wished the newborn stage away and as a first time mum it was awful 😢. I’d message her but she never reads it. I’m sure she’s googled it though. Just hope her doctor doesn’t fob her off like mine did.

Both mine had silent reflux and also none stop screaming till 3-4 months old, both caused by undetected tongue tie. Those days were hell.
she seems to handle bad days well, I did nothing but cry, get angry and want to lock myself away

Exactly the same it was my HV that fobbed us off. They fob us off on everything. Anything to do with her feeding they say is normal. Hopefully they get him sorted whatever is wrong because it really isn’t fun having a baby that’s unsettled all the time.

My youngest had silent reflux for 14 weeks before we saw a HV & they suggested it. I think his weight had dropped too. My other 2 never had it. It was awful. Cried all day, everyday. Was a different baby when we changed the milk over.

Exact same experience for me really, was horrendous. Really hope she gets sorted.

I feel sorry for her, I know how she feels. One of mine had silent reflux and it was just hell. No sleep, constant crying and always having to hold them as they couldn’t be put down. Really damages your mental health and the doctors just say welL bABiEs CrY... no they don’t- not all day and night.
Hope Helen gets the right support.

Helens story last night got me. She’s being real (for once) and is admitting the struggles. You could see it in her face she’d had a tough day. 😔 my daughter is crazy like Ocean and thats tiring enough for me without a young baby too - granted she wanted another baby but it’s still tough on her

Exactly! My girl was diagnosed at 6m!! We had the first 4-5 months of hell, I was breastfeeding and stopped cause her reflux was SO bad, she’s now ok but took so long for GP to do anything so I went private to get another opinion and she’s now got specialised milk, on meds for her acid reflux and we have to thicken her milk every feed, it’s such hard work and if that’s the case for her I feel or her, it’s awful, but it does get better, slightly once you know how to manage it

Just to add my HV told me she’d grow out of it and that was it (whilst she was screaming in my hands) I remember sobbing after she left thinking surely this isn’t right, why is my baby in so much pain? I went a&e 3 times and they said it was probably CMPA, and advised for a Paed to look at her but it never came of it, I cried so many times, I just felt so sorry for her, I felt sorry for me, we both had hardly any sleep for the first 3 months, but now we are coming out the other side, hardly out of it as now she’s weaning and loads flares her reflux, but she’s such a happy baby now, shame there’s not much awareness for it

Totally understand. I was breastfeeding too and got myself in the cycle of not wanting to give up but blaming me breastfeeding thinking it was me that was causing her to be so unsettled. Those early days are so tough. I really hope she gets sorted.

eeeek I know exactly how you feel. Isn’t it awful? It takes all the special moments away especially when the doctor won’t diagnose you 😡 I remember the gaviscon, then ranitidine then omoperazle, then the milk thickener too & countless hospital trips! It’s hell, I’m praying the second child is not like that!
My sons 2 now and he still doesn’t have cows milk as a drink but he can have anything else with cows milk in

Awful isn’t it! She’s been on gaviscon, thickener, omeprazole, lansoprazole all of it, just feel so sorry for these little ones!
Apologies for going off on a tangent on this thread! I know it’s not a mumsnet one xx🙏🏼

Anyone else starting to like Helen again 👀👀 she seems so much more real this time round!! No diet crap, no making out both the kids are as good as gold in the perfect routine! Not trying to hide the fact Ocean is a little bit wild 😂

chet on the other hand, I could throw things at his stupid ugly ass head 🤦🏼‍♀️

I’m not keen on Chet but he doesn’t affect my life so I don’t care or have an opinion on him and I like Helen i like this thread cos I’m nosey and like to know goss that’s the only reason 😂

she’s just very inconsistent with her stories I find. Like the whole CMPA thing, she’s not said anything else about Elvis. I guess I just want her to be on stories more!
