Hey! I am new on here and have two little boys with a third on the way! My middle son is the one with all the tummy issues. I am actually new to the whole reflux world even though my son is 7 months old, because my first peditrician refused to dx him. I switched doc’s about 1.5 months ago and am finally getting some help. We are currently on Enfamil AR and Zantac 7mg/kg a day with some success, though I am still not able to get DS to sleep the night in his crib (even though it is inclined) due to regurg. I am so thankful for his swing. Soy based formula was a bust.
My question is: Should DS still be spitting up formula/baby food 3-5 hours after feedings? I am wondering when is it reflux and when is it a gastric emptying issue?Also has anyone else had their child come down with reflux issues after getting the Rotarix vaccine? That is incidentally when it happened with DS.
hi & welcome!
you have found a wonderful place to research all you can!
first of all I need to encourage you to PLEASE read the following link- it’s called Groupie Intro
& it’s LONG. However, it TRULY will help you! Read through it, skim through it- you’ll find yourself refering back to it again & again!
https://www.infantreflux.org/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=853
As you will learn from the link Groupie Intro, many babies seem to plateau on zantac and then need to ‘move on’ to a PPI.
You will also learn that many doctors and even ped GIs don’t know as much as the collected first-hand knowledge found on this site!
the zantac dose can go as high as 10 mgs per kilo. Do NOT just take my word on this! read all you can & make your own, educated decisions!
there’s a link from groupie intro w/ zantac dosing. read the research. then, you may feel comfortable increasing the dose on your own. I can’t tell you what to do!
I *can* tell you that zantac is safe for babies & the dosing I’m quoting comes from the medical field/research.
you’ll also find (I think it’s in there!) a link called probiotics, brands used
if the link is NOT there, go to the upper right-hand corner of this page & click on the search button.
type in those keywords & you’ll find it.
what else? I think I’ve overloaded you enough for now
IF you want to breastfeed your new baby (none of my business!! just saying ‘IF!’) then you will be interested in researching all you can about breastfeeding and MSPI (milk/soy protein intolerance/allergy- sounds like this is what your baby has- you can find links/info from groupie intro). Basically, you can make your milk into an elemental formula! There are many mothers who have succeeded in breastfeeding their reflux, protein-sensitive babies.
One more thing, I promise that’s it
BABYWEARING!
it SAVED us!
look for the link in groupie intro!
SO GLAD YOU FOUND US!
