I just need to vent and cry… My DS is 9 wks old and we are still trying to figure his reflux out. He is on day #4 with prevacid OTC with applesauce (waiting in caracream) 3xdaily. He has very little (happy) waking hours. Then when he throws his crying (screaming) fits of pain I wanna cry right with him. To see my DS in pain breaks my heart like nothing else, and we are trying to make it better for him but we don’t know what exactly will work in the end and it takes 2 weeks to see if it will work. He went from zantac to prevacid compound to prevacid solutab to now prevacid OTC. Oh and not to mention the many formula changes, he is on nutrimigen.
He has an Upper GI scheduled but they couldn’t get us in until May 9th, almost 2 wks from when I scheduled it, WHAT??? And he has an ear infection and sounds so congested that Im worried he has pneumonia. Being a first time mom and all this happening makes me feel like a horrible mother and my mother n law makes me feel that way too… When we are at her house and DS throws a screaming fit of pain she says things like, “oh no honey this is not right, there is something wrong, this isn’t right. Oh honey grandma so sorry, buddy whats wrong…” she just makes it worse and ya duh there is something wrong and we are trying to figure it out, it’s not like Im not trying.
No one knows what it’s like to have a reflux and MSPI child until you go through it and all these seasoned mothers and mother n laws and grandmas want to give me all this info and say “oh maybe he doesnt need all this med in him” well if he didnt have it then he would be in much more pain. AGHHHHHHH Everyone just shut up if you haven’t been through it because you have no idea ( not directed to anyone personal) just venting.
So please if anyone had any advice I would greatly appreciate it.
