yay for babywearing! you should have seen ME walking around the neighborhood at all hours, LOL!

as for the compound: I would contact marci-kids and ask about caracream/buffer babies being covered. ALSO: if a pharmacy can purchase it for you, then perhaps it would be covered THAT way? something to ask marci-kids & your friend…

as for…[Read more]

I just added to the post on the previous page (because I keep giving the link to folks, LOL!)

that if baby isn’t on PROPER DOSE then all the caracream in the world will not help… so http://www.marci-kids.com will help you determine PROPER DOSE for each baby

you’ll get specific instrucitons when it comes. but basically you make a week’s worth I think it is
welcome & please post in other forums so we can all properly welcome you!

caracream was the BEST for our son!
but you have to do what you feel is best for YOUR baby!
read read read & ask questions!
hang in there!
you are the only voice your baby has right now!

is the prevacid still 7.5mg 1x a day?
she probably needs more.
unfortunately neocate isn’t ‘the’ answer for all babies-
a lot of baboes need meds along with it, too

FAX FAX FAX the dr
dont wait for a call…
start off w/ a THANK YOU

CARACREAM!!! look for the purple post for explanation:

since night is the worst, I’d do
what you thought to do (1/1/2)

I would also now consider a PPI…many many have found (myself included!) that babies seem to plateau on zantac and then really need something ‘more’

I did NOT want to move beyond zantac. I found this board & didn’t even want to post, I sent a PM to another member. the…[Read more]

I just added that to the explanation post, on the previous page. Thanks for pointing that out, Isabellasmommy!

call la leche league
The La Leche League Breastfeeding Helpline – US began on June 1, 2007. Everyone in the U.S.A. has access to toll free breastfeeding help 24 hours a day. Just call 1-877-4-LALECHE (1-877-452-5324).

I would get caracream, then. look for purple post for explanation- the rest of the thread tells you how to get it, etc. Caracream: https://www.infantreflux.org/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11191&PID=94236#94236

and I would look into another ped?

the words swallow study are in a post & are highlighted yellow.
scroll down from this link to read about it from someone other than myself

I also sent a PM to another mother to come help you

because your doctor doesn’t know. *sigh*
I don’t know why all of this is not known. IT stinks! It’s been 4yrs since my baby was medicated and, sadly, not a whole lot has changed. There has been SOME change, thank goodness! but not a lot…

BUMP

basically there’s a lot of trial & error…many have found great success using a dropper (like the one that comes w/ mylicon), like isabellasmommy just described. I just wrote this to joanna:

…you should take your solutab, split it in half and FORGET about how much water to add. Why should you listen to ME???? Well, I am speaking for a…[Read more]

it’s so hard! you say that she’s not fussy or crying and now you say you’re having a bad day…can you explain some more?

does she have any rashes or excema?

with all the coughing and gagging, maybe you want to ask for a Swallow Study (this is not an Upper GI). This looks at how she drinks and looks to see if she’s aspirating liquid…[Read more]

hmmm. well, you do what you’ve gotta do…try seperating the 2 meds, try not seperating the 2 meds…if you’re using mylanta to flavor the zantac, just use a teensy amount…so much is trial & error…

ok. I wrote AGAIN (it’s already written there) to check ingredients before purchasing
