buffer babies makes it so you do NOT have to wait. it can be given at any time. I know you’re doing you NAET treatments, but maybe you still need to cut something out of your diet?

what I found was that when reflux was bad, I had to keep on adjusting/increasing/adding meds…for instance there was a time when jonah was maxed out on prevacid and also needed zantac for breakthrough reflux. then, he didn’t need the added zantac…then we didn’t need to keep increasing prevacid at every weight gain…THEN there was a good chunk…[Read more]

hi & welcome!

if your baby is having constipation issues I would not thicken with anything just yet…

well…you could:

say you know a pharmacist (not entirely an untruth- sheri IS a pharmacist…) who looked up the dose for you?

OR you could verify higher dosing w/ the ped GI & then tell the ped that you were going through notes from when Lucas was a baby and found the higher dosing so double checked w/ ped GI bcse you were…[Read more]

yep, lots of thoughts! my ped said the same thing, so I started this thread:
Zantac dosing- my/other’s question (has axid & pepcid dose, too): https://www.infantreflux.org/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9539&PID=82914#82914
& yes you can mix the mylanta & the zantac

Prevacid 101(last post on the page): https://www.infantreflux.org/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1936&PN=0&TPN=1

this is great information for both losec & prevacid…

ok I hate to tell you this, but aside from the prevacid probably not being the proper dose, the liquid most likely is made WRONG…

Nutrimigen might work, but it’s similar to the alimentum your baby is now…[Read more]

yikes! no one answered you…how are you guys doing?

yes the prevacid can take up to 14 days to show it’s full effect.
if you still have zantac, you can give that, too! this might give some relief as you wait to see the full effect of the prevacid. you said that the zantac didn’t do anything- what does baby weigh? I can help you figure out the PROPER dose for zantac and you can give it, too, just…[Read more]

I didn’t answer about mspi and lactose intolerance. I would imagine if it was truly lactose intolerance, then baby would have to be on an elemental formula and you’d be given something like lactaid to make the formula truly lactose-free?from here: Mspi/allergy info(‘main page’): https://www.infantreflux.org/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2697&PN=1&TPN=1…[Read more]

ok for a 10lb 8 oz baby here’s where I got kilos:
http://www.sfca.co.uk/match/kilolbs.htm
4.760 kilos – I’m rounding to 4.8 kilos

Here is recommended dosing of Axid (also called nizatidine) for the treatment of GERD in infants and children: Children <12 years: 10mg/kg/day divided into two daily doses.
10mgs per kg: 10 x 4.8 = 48mgs…[Read more]

how much does baby weigh? I can help with the math

stick with the formula change for 2 weeks and see how it goes- it takes a good 2 weeks for the proteins to clear out/build up
if the nutrimigen after 2 weks is a no-go then try neocate
and yes the excema can be caused by the proteins in the formula…
