My preemie twins were born at 35 weeks, 1 day and will be 9 weeks tomorrow! My water broke, but due to severe pre-e and HELPS I had an emergency C-section. I have been lurking around here since then and now need to hear some of you experiences.
My little girl came home right away, but had no idea how to suck and swallow. She cought on to that and at some point began to spit up a lot and it was determined she had reflux. Since she was so uncomfertable while she was spitting up, and was spewing frequently we decided to put her on medicene (zantac), even though she was gaining weight. This was right after their 4 week well visit.
She had gotten better, it seemed. She almost never spews now! Then since Thursday she started spitting up her entire bottle almost every other time, and looking to eat a lot less often. Then during her spitting up episodes where usually she just looks like she is in pain, she stops breathing and turns bright red.

For over a week now she has begun showing signs of colic, and the Dr believes thats what it is. One day she was up for 11 hours straight! It doesn't help that any rocking makes her spit up.
