) I poisoned my baby by breastfeeding but doctors said I was
Our local hospital had run some tests when Angus was a few weeks old and found he had a degree of acid reflux from his stomach, but because it was only mild, they'd said that it 'wasn't a problem'. My pleas for more tests were rejected.
I asked if Angus could be allergic to what I was eating as my other son had been unable to tolerate cow's milk, but they said that because he was breastfed that shouldn't be a problem.
It seemed as though no one was interested in our poor screaming baby, as though I was just being an over-anxious, neurotic mum and making it all up.
I was told that 'some babies just scream a lot', that there was 'nothing wrong', that he would 'just grow out of it'.
At times I was so tired that I thought perhaps the problem did lie with me. More>>

) 10 Serious Pain Symptoms
Feeling fuller than normal after eating less than usual could warn of gastrointestinal problems, ranging from indigestion caused by acid reflux to some cancers. If this feeling lasts for days or weeks, a physician should be consulted, especially if other symptoms are present such as nausea and vomiting, abdominal pain or bloating, fever and chills or weight changes. 6. Vaginal bleeding after menopause Vaginal spotting or bleeding after menopause may be caused by changes in vaginal tissue, which can become thinner and more fragile as estrogen levels decrease. In some cases, however, postmenopausal bleeding can be a symptom of gynecological cancer. A medical valuation is important. 7. Change in bowel habits Mild diarrhea that lasts more than a week, constipation that lasts more than two weeks, or unexplained, sudden urges to have a bowel movement is the time when immediate medical help should be taken.
