nexium working

congrats

Hooray! That’s great news that she’s feeling better and eating better. My three babies never held their own bottle, even my first who was not a refluxer. Some babies never do, especially if you always hold them to feed them, rather than prop them with a bottle in a boucy seat or carseat. My kids all still got a bedtime bottle at 18 months and still didn’t hold that bottle!

I think Stacey’s idea of some Mylanta Cherry Supreme in the afternoon is a good idea. My son was on three doses of Prevacid, so we didn’t need anything else, but I think a lot of babies who aren’t on three doses need something extra.

Also, my son still was not a big eater even after finally being properly medicated. He had DGE so his appetite was small. He took only 15-16 ounces of formula or breast milk (I pumped) a day, plus some oatmeal and he gained just fine on that. Once he outgrew his DGE at 13 months his appetite and stomach capacity increased dramatically.

I’m glad to hear Adi’s doing better!

I’m glad you are finding Nexium working. Hopefully now more mums are using it other bubs might benefit from this experience. Alana never held her bottles. It wasn’t until she started with her straw cup that she was that interested and I must say I didn’t really encourage it to much…there is plenty of time for independence later on!
