Just need to vent

Hi! Like my dh said we went threw so much with our first and he is now happy and healthy so this too shall pass! But I feel your pain- this has put a ton of stress on my marriage and life in general. I’m stuck trying to time meds, feeding and naps which would be fine but I have a 3 year old who takes spanish, gymnastics and goes to preschool. So that adds extra stress but I don’t want Jack to suffer. Luckily Grant is a happy baby cuz I don’t know if I could handle it if he was a screamer like Jack.

No he was off all meds by 18months. We saw a really good peds GI at Brenners childrens hospital ( Dr. Fortunato) ,after having sub par care at Walter Reed, and he redid Jacks swallow study which showed his dysphagia was gone. He told us that we could try taking him off the prevacid since they thought his dysphagia was caused by the reflux. He was however an extremely picky eater until recently- he’s 3 years old. He wouldonly eat certain foods despite me expossing him to a broad range of organic homemade baby food 🙁 I thought my extra effort would ensure he would become a “good eater” but NOPE that wasn’t the case. We just made sure he ate his multi vitamins, his green veggie vitamins, and fish oil. Tho I will say this he is 3 years old and LOVES green veggies even broccoli- go figure. Just hang in there you LO is still young. Just keep saying “this too shall pass” I thought my kid would live on soy nuggets and mac and cheese for the rest of his life but now at 3 he is more willing to try new foods. I know his early food issues are strongly related to the GERD and dysphagia because even as a baby/ toddler he wouldn’t eat like other kids.
