33 weeks

Hello mamas, I’m Sky 22 soon to be 23 and Meet Paisley Grace born 27/12/24 , After loosing her sister Kallie at 21 weeks on the 27/01/24 I then ended up going into early labour at 33weeks with Paisley to then endure 2long weeks in the NNU. She is now home and doing really well but I fear she may have reflux or colic issues any advice regarding this ? She is sick through her nose quite a lot and strains a lot but I have been told this is normal from the health visitor 🩷

When my son was discharged from nicu- After 5 months stay , we had a community nurse from the nicu who would visit every so often, Do you not have the same? As these HV Some unfortunately aren't clued up on preemie babies! I'm not a medic but after nicu you fell like it 😂 but she sounds uncomfortable, let me tell you I've had 3 babies they've never been sick through their nose, it could be the milk? My son initially was given sma he didn't get on with bad reflux so we went with aptimal x

@Elle (i can't see waves) I haven’t been assigned a community nurse so I will definitely look into that and I was given a prescription sma which she wasn’t getting along with at all I changed to Kendamill at 37 weeks and there hasn’t been issues the same as the sma she’s just grunts a whole lot and strains the same as before Xx

@Sky Ohh so strange yes definitely look into it, I don't know if it's cos my son was a 24wker but I just thought it was general practice of nicu baby that you have that support at home, especially in the early days, or even if you have the ward number , call them as and for any advice even from a dietician point of view x

My little girl was born at 33 weeks and we spent 3 weeks in the hospital. She's been home for 2 weeks now and is also refluxy and is sick through her nose. I think it's because she's congested so we've tried snot suckers but doesn't seem to make a difference, We're on gaviscon for reflux too x

Not an expert on colic but just wanted to say congrats on your beautiful girl and getting through everything you’ve been through ❤️❤️❤️
