How do you get the doc to take you seriously about infant acid reflux?
Madeleine is 3 1/2 months old and has been showing all of the symptoms of acid reflux (from my research online anyway) for over 3 weeks now. Just when she seemed to get over her severe gas problems, she started waking up in her sleep 2-3 times in the night screaming, would arch her back and cry while trying to eat all day, always seems starving (especially after 8PM), spits up with every bottle, sweats profusely and snores like my husband! My poor little one is usually a very happy baby, but she is miserable most of the day now. I brought the symptoms up with our current doc and she didn’t even mention acid reflux! She just said…well, babies do that. She will grow out of it. What can I do?
Find a different pediatrician.
Tell the doc you suspect Acid refulx, and you want the tests run to confirm (barium swallow).
You will find that doctors do not speak the absolute truth word of god. And YOU have to be an ASSERTIVE and PROACTIVE parent. You are your childs only voice.
