Success after IF

finally some answers for my DS

He was one month old yesterday. In 4 weeks, we BF'ed and failed, then 5 different formulas. He went from screaming crying for 5 hours straight et night to only one hour after each feeding. He still spits up and is incredibly weezy and snorty after each feeding. He is in so much pain, and no amount of rocking, snuggling, singing or bouncing has helped. My new pediatrician thinks reflux and now we are on the most expensive formula, with a $30 bottle of zantac we have to buy. Even with DH out of work, I will find a way to make this work!!!!

  • I'm so sorry. Hopefully  he will outgrow these issues soon and won't be on the $$ formula too long. N was on Zantac for a few months but has been off (and fine) for almost two months now.
  • I am sorry you are going through all of this, but from the sound of the symptoms, your new pedi seems to be right on track for what it could be.  Some states pay for prescription formula (such as Nutramigen) so you should check with your insurance.  Good luck...I hope things start to improve.
  • Oh the poort little guy!  I hope the pedi is on the right track and the new formula and Zantac have him feeling better soon. 
  • I am so sorry to hear that you're going through all of this!  And, I'm sorry for not being a better labor buddy lately. I promise to email you back soon.  I will be praying for ya'll and I'm sure that your little Colin will be feeling much better asap.  Keep hanging in there and know that you have all of our support behind you!
