Reflux, colic or just uncomfortable preemie?

[sarahkahealani]

Hoping this forum gets me better answers as the other forums are less frequented and have given me no results. Any moms on here who have or had preemies have issues with fussy uncomfortable babies? My son was a 33 weeker and is currently 3 weeks old. He is a good eater and doesn't spit up often. If he does spit up its a very little amount and few and far between. But after he's burped numerous times he still seems uncomfortable. He arches his back constantly and grunts as if he's got gas built up in his belly. I try burping him more but still. He'll squirm and arch and fuss and smack his mouth like he's got a yucky taste. I thought maybe it was reflux but he doesn't throw up or spit up more than normal and his breath isn't "acidic" after burping as I've read. He's currently on similic neosure since the hospital and I'm trying to find some answers and a remedy for my son. any help or advice is greatly appreciated.

My first baby had "silent reflux" where she was never sick or had the acidic breath but did display some of the behaviour your talking about. She would take ages to feed,arch her back after,refuse to lie in a cot or moses basket n was very u settled at night.took a few months to get a diagnosis as her symptoms were similar to other things like cows milk n lactose intolerance n was treated got them first. It does sound to me like your baby may have silent reflux. I'd see your dr about it

My ex 23 weeker does this when she's fussy. I usually calm her down by holding her swaddled upright after she feeds. She's also on Neosure and we were told not to switch her formula because it is hard on their tummies.
