But, I am happy to say that it seems (don’t want to jinx it) that Kaden’s reflux is FINALLY under control, or starting to get better!

He is still on Enfamil Thickened, eating both rice and oatmeal cereal, and we just started veggies. His poops are still hard and formed little balls for the most part, but not mucuousy or appearing to cause him pain. Yay!!!

He goes to the ped at the end of the month for his 6 month check up, and I am really hoping he gives us the okay to try a regular formula, the thickened is such a pain to mix so it is not full of clumps……………..

BUT, if thickened is the one that works best, we will keep him on it.

He is still on his Ranitidine, and I think the dose may need to be upped again soon as he is gaining weight like a champ! Other than that, he is perfect!

Hope everyone is well, looks like I have a TON of posts to catch up on………………

I am sooo glad to hear this!!! And this is proof that there are some babies that can be on regular formula, so few and far between around here. I think your Kaden can be our official poster baby that could handle a milk based/thickened formula.

YAY Kaden! Keep gaining and growing, Buddy!

Thank you for that post……..you brought tears to my eyes!!

How pathetic is that……………such a positive comment gets my tears of joy flowing…

I guess sometimes, through all the sleepless nights and days that we go out covered in puke, there is light at the end of the tunnell!

And if this is only temporary, I’ll take it for now!!!

Take care………………

awwww….totally NOT pathetic to have tears!!! We reflux mommies have it extra tough in the beginning, and I’ve said this SO many times before and I believe it in my heart to be true: God gives reflux babies to the mamas that can handle it. It’s tough on us, but he knows we are the ones that can help these LO’s through it. It’s so wonderful when they start to outgrow it.

Jackson was the same way! He was just fine on milk based formulas. In fact, when I tried the hypoallergenic ones, he spit up so much worse! I am glad that everything is under control for you. Wonderful news!
