lol do you put them in for the full cycle ?

I don't put them in the washing machine, that would be mean!

Sounds like you have made some great progress

There is no single right answer. Each of us is different just like our choice in cars.
Try them all and work out what works. It's all a big guess anyway.

Our youngest had trouble at the start turns out breastfeeding was not possible but and underdeveloped kidney meant he got formula as well. Once we realised breastfeeding was out it took out all the anxiety (and my sleep) and he slept better.
Find a routine that works for them play, feed, sleep. Or play, sleep, feed.
Night feeds reduce stimulation. No noises lights etc.
during the day when they are asleep make noise, vacuums etc. my kids will sleep through anything.

My sister in law put her's to bed with whale sounds and we had to tip toe around, still doesn't sleep well.

you got it wrong you throw a doona in first stops the bruising and muffles the screaming - you are far from a good parent if you did not know this.

There is also a good night time formula called sweet dreams. It seems to go a little thicker after a while and makes them feel full for longer. It was great for our no 2 and his reflux. Not cheap though.

Been to the doctor and he diagnosed him with reflux which we got under control with some new formula. The screaming back then seemed to be like he was in pain now it just seems like screaming for the sake of screaming :-( wife recons its colic now

Was this the GP or Paediatrician who said the reflux is under control? If GP than ask for a referral to a Paediatrician or just go back to the Paediatrician.

For us, our Daughters reflux was so bad after trialling a few reflex medications she ended up needing an adult doses of Mylanta a couple of times per day.

Doctor diagnosed it and we feel that we've got it under control. No pains while feeding and no vomits etc now. I recon it was just the mild form of it and the thicker formula has stopped it from coming back up and buring his osephugus. I suffered from it from birth untill I had major surgery to correct it when I was 7.
