"My babies reflux nightmare"

I just wanted to come on here and say after seeing so many doctors and being told various things I came to Aberdeen children’s a and e and was met by a Dr Sarah. If it wasn’t for covid I would have hugged her. She left me in tears but tears of happiness. My baby is 3 weeks old and has been showing signs of severe silent reflux.

My other child had this so I knew the signs after 3 trips to Gp and 2 trips to A and E where one doc told me I was over feeding my baby which turns out not to be true so when I reduced him like this doctor told me to I caused my baby more upset. I was ready to give up.

My baby screamed for over 6 hours only stopping to feed I called the hospital again and Dr Sarah told me to come up. It took a while to see her as she was very busy as she was the on call paediatrician.

She came and looked at my baby listened to me and agreed with me she also said she would be happy to start my baby on medicine! She then asked me how I was to which I broke as I was exhausted. She admitted us there for me to have some rest and my son to have his first dose of medication.

I thank you so so much. I also would like to thank the staff on the ward that night especially Lorna who fed my son and let me rest I am truly grateful.
