Megan McKenna rushed her baby to A&E in a ‘scary’ hospital dash after he was left ‘screaming in pain’.
The reality star, 32, welcomed her son Landon with footballer fiancé Oliver Burke back in October and is now warning other mums to ‘trust their gut’ when it comes to health.
She took to her Instagram on Friday to recall the terrifying ordeal and explain what what happened with her three million followers.
Posting a snap of the tot in hospital, Megan quipped: ‘One thing I’m learning about being a mum, always trust your gut. I was told to stop Landons omeprazole by his pediatrician.
‘This made me feel really uncomfortable as I begged to get him on it in the first place due to him having terrible reflux from six weeks.
‘He finally has got himself to a good place after being on the baby omep for 4 months. I begged to get more but was told he needs to stop now.’

She revealed: ‘Because I was told to stop when I really didn’t want to, I’m now sitting on a baby ward after being in A&E all last night because Landon has gradually got worse throwing up so much it was scary.
‘Screaming in pain and retching till his face turned red and had now become dehydrated from all the vomiting.
‘The pediatrician at the hospital I’m in now is very confused at why he was told to stop taking it and should be on it for at least six months.
‘After last night he is being put straight back on it and has just had his first dose. He was kept in overnight to be monitored and to have fluids put back into his body. Thankfully Landon’s back to his happy self again. He even woke up with a smile.’
The reality star candidly continued: ‘But we’re now back on the omeprazole journey. Thank you to all the nurses and doctors that looked after Landon on the dolphon ward at prices Alexandra hospital, I really appreciate everything you done for me and Landon.’
She went on to post a second story holding Landon’s hand, which had a cannula in it and heartbreakingly spoke of how ‘stressed and confused’ he was.
Megan wrote: ‘His teeny baby hand. He was so stressed and confused having this cannula put in. I’m so upset this reflux has got this bad.
‘Moving forward I won’t be taking no for an answer. You as a mum knows best. He’s having a few days for his tummy to settle with the omep and then they told me to wean him slowly again alongide the omeprazole.
‘Honestly reflux is awful for our tiny babies. I just want to make sure he doesn’t have to go through that again.’

In September, Megan left the UK and moved to Germany to be with her footballer fiancé Olly, making the decision to give birth over there.
The Scotsman plays as a right winger or forward for the German football team, Bundesliga club Werder Bremen.
In a previous Instagram video, Megan announced: ‘Guess what! I’m moving to Germany. I know I did some stories yesterday about packing.
‘And I think I few of you thought I was going into labour but no lets hope I don’t go into labour because I am now giving birth in Germany.
‘I know a few of you guys have been like ‘Where’s Olly?’ Olly is in Germany and all our stuff has been in storage for a couple of months.
‘A bit crazy that I’m moving countries. I’m actually excited, like it’s obviously going to be a big change.’
Megan revealed that they had to ‘move hospitals very last minute’ and it was ‘crazy’ and ‘all a bit of a rush’.
The original plan was for Olly to fly back in time for her due date. However Megan was worried that her partner would miss the birth of their baby.
