Older Baby and Reflux

[littlepeanut]

Did anyone's LO get diagnosed with reflux when they were older?  We have an appointment today because DS is sounding wheezy and is coughing a lot after eating.  I'm wondering if all of our eating and sleeping issues have been due to reflux this whole time..  DS is almost 8 months.

L was diagnosed at 5 months and i honestly had no idea symptoms she had were reflux. she is almost 8m and it hasn't gone away at all. i can easily see how reflux could develop or go undiagnosed.

is it just wheezing and coughing? is he congested?

any gagging or spitting up?

i hope you get answers!

He only sounds congested a little after he eats, but its more of a rattling/wheeze type sound. I can only get him to eat a few ounces at a time during the day, and honestly feeding has been hard since about 3.5 months. He spits up at least 2-3 times a day, and has recently started vomiting at night when he cries. I can also hear him burp up stuff and swallow it as well. I have brought it up at each well visit, but since he's gaining weight appropriately, she hasn't been concerned. I'm just tired of the fighting to eat constantly. Thanks!

a lot of that sounds like L.

be pushy! drs sometimes need a fire lit under them.
