Vitamins?

I wonder if there is something in the vitamins that cause the problem, perhaps a filler like lactose or coloring/flavouring, or if it is a vitamin or mineral itself that is bothering him? You could try a hypoallergenic multivitamin that is free of gluten, dairy, artificial colors, etc. and see if it he would tolerate it. If not, then perhaps it’s one of the actual vitamin/minerals that’s aggravating the reflux. Kirkman’s is a company that makes a lot of hypoallergenic vitamins and supplements, and we get a lot of stuff from them. Here is the one I was thinking of:

I don’t have any experience w/ allergies (well, my little guy most likely has some – but not w/ my older ds) but I can tell you my advice for weaning.

I got down to nursing my son who was allergic to dairy, soy and eggs just at bedtime when he was a little over 2. He was drinking rice milk at that point and still drinks it till this day- he is 5 and has outgrown his allergies. Then I just shortened the amount of time he was allowed to nurse each night and snuggled and rocked and eventually we just snuggled and rocked. Reading books was always a part of his bedtime routine as well. I guess if none of that works and he is in a bed, you could take his rocker out of his room and snuggle in bed with him instead and see if he will adapt. I was surprised how well he weaned too. It was probably harder for me than him!
