Fussy baby

Well, not much improved with the tongue tie clipping. When he nurses while asleep, he has a perfect latch and handles the milk flow with no problem. No popping off, no crying, just good nursing. But, when he's awake? Watch out - he pops off all the time, pulls back on the nipple, fusses - its a disaster. I'm going to pay better attention tomorrow, but I'm pretty sure it's just the difference of being awake vs asleep. I'm starting to think reflux.
Any opinions on whether to try meds first or dairy elimination first?Wife to a urologist; Mom to 2 wonderful kiddos

When you nurse while sleeping, are you sitting up or lying down? If its a difference of sitting up vs lying down it could be just a flow issue. When you are sitting up, gravity makes the milk fill his mouth faster and some babies don't like that.
Reflux was worse at night for Daegan bc he was lying down and the stomach contents sloshed up his esophagus.
But Kai hated my fast milk flow and so I nursed him sidelying for the first few months.Mom of 3, Veterinarian

I'd say go with your instincts. As a first-time parent, I just got the feeling DS had reflux, but I wasn't seeing all the signs, so it took me a year to ask for meds. By that time, he had so many sleep problems, it was ridiculous. (Not to say that was the only reason... As I've found with my non-reflux baby girl, I just make bad sleepers!)Laurie
