Hard time Vent
The girls will be 8 weeks tomorrow. They were diagnosed with acid reflux and I am starting to think they are colic as well. They are always fussing and crying, especially at night.
We have tried Zantac which didn't work and Prilosec which caused them horrible gas. So the doctor said we should stop medicine and try and switch formula. They are on Simliac sensitive. But it's just not working gentlease caused a rash around their mouths and Nutramigen they won't eat, even though I mix it 75 25.
Both my husband and I are getting to our breaking point. We don't sleep and they are always unhappy. It's so hard they both want to be held and DD1 is always fighting for attention. My days are so exhauting and i dont have help until my husband gets home.Some days all I want to do is cry.
DD1 was colic but we were able to switch her to nutramigen and everything got so much better. I feel like we have exhausted our options and don't know what to do.
If you made it though this, thanks. It feels good to get it off my chest.

Re: Hard time Vent
Keep up with the Nutramigen for as long as you can afford to do it if you can manage to get them both eating it - it does make a world of difference. Ask the doctor what they think about adding a teaspoon of rice cereal to the formula to help with the reflux, too. We never want to give our kids the wrong things, but a lot of little things can help. For Aurielle, the best change was putting her onto soy formula - she had lots of little issues with the milk-based formulas, and the soy was a life saver. We had Alyce on the Nutramigen because she had a lot of trouble keeping other formulas down - they did have us add just a little bit of rice cereal to her formula if we had to use a different formula when our budget was tight. It wasn't as good as the Nutramigen but it did help.

The girls wouldn't eat gerber soothe either. We are trying Alimentum now at 75 25 mix. Even though they don't like the taste they seem to be eating it for the most part. Hoping this will help and can get to 100 percent Alimentum soon.
