sue- the boys were started on packets at 10 wks. it was difficult to get all of the beads into them, but once we got the hang of it, it became easier. we would split a packet, eyeballing an even amount of beads into a small bowl and add a small amount of water to mix. then with a wide mouth syringe we would try to suck up as many beads as we could. the boys never gave us a problem in sucking the beads out, the problem would be that the beads would get stuck in the syringe. we would just suck up more water which seemed to loosen them up and make them come out easier. i hope that makes some sense. i am so sorry that taylor has reflux too. and poor alexis! you have alot going on. hang in there.
sending good thoughts your way!I’m so sorry that Taylor has reflux. I’ve been through it twice, too. So, I know how you feel.
You’re probably thinking, How am I going to do this again? Right now you’re post partum hormones aren’t helping very much either. Believe me, I remember. It’s so hard when all you want to do is cry. I also had incredible post partum anxiety. Panic level anxiety. I was nursing so I couldn’t take anything. I don’t know how I survived, but I did. This site helped alot. It’s really the only support I had.Like Thais said, you know more this time and that should help some. Also, I always reminded myself that Ellie (my first refluxer) outgrew it…how fast the time goes…one day this will be behind you.
That’s great that you are going to see a GI. I hope he is very knowledgeable and helpful.
Giving the Prevacid more than once per day might help. Once a day was not enough for my little guy. He gets it three times per day, and that has helped alot. Was once a day enough for Alexis?
Well, sorry I don’t have more advice. Just wanted you to know you’re not the only one who has to endure this more than once. Hang in there. I hope this time around is easier for you and that Taylor responds well to the Prevacid.
WOW. First of all CONGRATULATIONS!!!
ok, now to my practical help, lol! (as I try not to think about how your post will be mine, come July
)I would investigate zegerid http://www.zegerid.com/ , and at the same time,
I’d look into CARACREAM!! It IS possible to get it…you have to find a pharmacy that compounds and uses the company FlavorX for flavorings…then you can get caracream
To find out how you MIGHT be able to get caracream (or chocobase), click here: https://www.infantreflux.org/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5244 & look for the post just after my purple one
! what about tummy sleeping for naps- I mean for times when you can actually KEEP AN EYE on him, as he’s tiny! put a beanie baby on his back so you can see it going up & down…
also, if you hold him certain ways is the gas better? of course I’m going to suggest ‘babywearing’
, as it SAVED us at the point where you seem to be now…hang in there!
