Had the scare of my life today. Still mentally drained by it. Had to call the paramedics for my daughter. She had been having acid reflux episodes since this morning...however this particular one she couldn't get herself back right and nothing I tried helped. She kept choking off the milk she had consumed almost an hour before. I felt so helpless, I couldn't help her and when she looked at me there was so much fear in her eyes. watching my 3 week old grasp for air while grabbing at her throat is an image I'll never forget. just moments before we had received another solution from her doctor but my SO didn't even get a chance to get home with it before she choked. The nurse had asked me what I was most concerned about and I told her that I was afraid that I was going to give her a bottle in the night one day and an hr later not notice she was choking because I thought it was ok for us all to go back to sleep. My fear almost came true today but I was awake and in the middle of changing her diaper. I pray over her everyday, both of them. For their health and safety. I thought I was going to lose my baby girl today. sleeping is going to be rough for me but with Gods protection over them I know they'll be OK. We put rice cereal in her milk as the doc advised now. she drank it with no problem and put herself to sleep (that's a first) snoring and all. Keep us in your prayers. Thanks in advance.

@raising_carson16 I hope so. it has to get better from here. They say its because technically they're premies and sometimes the muscle in the esophagus is still weak so its not strong enough to work the flap so it doesn't stop it from coming back up. I just don't know how long that takes for that muscle to get stronger. it so crazy cause her twin is greedy with no issues Lol. thanks though, yea I need it to get less stressful, I'm tired but sleeping isn't on the menu tonight smh.

Did that too. It's like it clogged her up, she turned completely red, her eyes watered, it started leaking from her nose and she wouldn't make a sound, she couldn't. I turned her over gave her a few pats on the back that didn't help, actually made it worse when I tilted her downward. I couldn't get her to cry until operator coached me and then when she did cry each time she would choke in the middle of it and then start all over again. Finally she let out one big cry and the lady told me as long as she was crying she was breathing so I tried to keep her crying at that point..She does it with both breast milk and formula so they put her on a reflux milk but she also did it a few times with that and WIC stopped covering that milk so now we're trying cereal. @raising_carson16

even if you pick her up? I know if a baby chokes you pick them up and sort of point their heads toward the ground and Pat their back. I had to do it one time to my son because he doesn't understand he can't shove 5 cookies in his mouth. I wonder if the milk is to thick for her... is it formula or breast milk?

@raising_carson16 that's the crazy part, I actually wish she would just spit it up but she only regurgitates it, it never comes out it just sits in her throat and then come out her nose which of course make it harder to breathe😞..

I'm sorry that happened to you today 😥 my son constantly spit up when he was an infant so I always made sure he slept on his side so he didn't choke Incase he did spit up while I was sleeping. it gave me a small piece of mind doing that. I hope you find something that works for reflux
