Hi all,
I am new to this thread. My twins ( a boy and a girl) are now 5 weeks old. and they were born premature at 33 weeks. They both were in NICU for 17 days and both of them came home together. my little girl, Pankti had the reflux from the beginning. She grunts constantly all the time and she spits up too. But the amount she spits up is not that much , just alittle . But now after a month her reflux is getting worst. She is upto 3 -4 oz formula or breastmilk every 3 hours. And she started getting the stuff coming out from her nose and mouth with the reflux. And when it comes out from her nose i feel like she can't breath, but she clears it up by herself. So i am really confused. Is she breathing while she is spitting up or not? I really can't figure it out. Please share ur experiece with me. My little guy. Parv is little better than her sister. But he is also following her footsteps and going in the same direction , they both are on 0.4 ml zantac twice a day. I don't think so its helping that much. I keep them elevated all the time so that they can sleep peacefully. But during the sleep also they are making the grunting noise and arching theri backs. I do have ane appointment with GAstrointerologist next week adn i am going for their UPPER GI test also. But i am feeling very worried b/c of the reflux they are having. Is this normal with premature babies? And when it will go away? Please let me know if any of you have been through such an experience.
thanks
