Reflux Mommas

in March 2011 Moms

Did your LO go through any spells of better or worse? Over the past two weeks I feel like it's getting worse and worse. The pedi had me cut out dairy and rather than replace it with soy (which I did for over 5 years) I replaced it with rice to prevent any issues but I still feel like he's just getting worse and worse. Today was the first time he spit up yellow which absolutely freaked DH and me out. Since he's spitting up more and obviously more uncomfortable, he isn't sleeping as much making him a super cranky baby. Our pedi won't put infants on medication if they're gaining weight appropriately and DS is gaining perfectly so I'm at a loss. Is this just a phase he's going through or is it going to continue to get worse?

    Don't feel bad, our DS is on meds and still has days like this. He will sometimes throw up as much as an adult would. We went back to the pedi and he sais that they have good days and bad days even on meds. While we were there he also upped LOs meds. Hang in there, I hear it usually passes within the first year! Is your LO in pain everytime?

    sorry just read that he is in pain. I would find a new pedi. Mine prescribed meds even though my LO was gaining (slowly but gaining).

    That's what I'm starting to lean towards. DH and I were just talking about it over dinner. The practice we're with was the only one we found during our search that supported me breastfeeding so I'm a bit afraid of leaving though I now have the full backing of my neurologist so maybe a different pediatrician would now support it... mmm.

    It's definately something to seriously think about. He's so unhappy. I just want a happy, healthy baby.

    Thats all anyone wants! I have noticed DS a lot happier after starting the meds. Good Luck!

    When the pedi started DS on Zantac, I thought I had a brand new baby.  Recently he has been spitting up more and more and acting like he has a bad taste in his mouth.  I'm calling the pedi to talk to them, maybe since he is growing, they need to up his dosage.  My pedi says by 6-9 months they usually outgrow it.  Good Luck!

    WHAT?!? That is crazy, LO is eating but it still hurts! I would find a new pedi.

    E was the same way. We started Zantac and E was like a new baby. (we also changed formulas) We still have some bad days when he's still in pain and can't sleep, but they are becoming fewer and fewer.

    Good Luck
