personally, I think that’s fine…I’ve always thought ‘peanut butter’ is fine…
when jonah started to use the toilet, I found that ‘peanut butter’ actually formed into a ‘regular’ poop in the toilet…ok, yick, LOL!!!

this can help you get your insurance to cover the neocate:
Going to the Top: https://www.infantreflux.org/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2607&a mp;KW=going

also, when you start the neocate, try starting slowly if your baby doesn’t seem to take to it. you can start by just adding one ounce to the bottle of whatever it is baby is currently…[Read more]

do yo have any zantac (or tagament or pepcid or axid) to add in?
just make sure to give it 4hrs seperate from the PPI

Reglan is for Delagyed Gastrci Emptying (DGE). reglan and zantac seem to be the first meds prescribed by peds, “Just Because.” It’s probably just what they were taught and that’s that. Jonah was even prescribed reglan in the nicu and they had DONE testing and they pretty much knew he didn’t have DGE. Personally, in retrospect, I think they gave…[Read more]

ok, so then make the argument w/ the doctor that the nexium is approved and is a ‘stronger’ PPi than prevacid, so therefore prevacid should be fine, too

the FDA has approved Nexium for pediatric use
http://www.fda.gov/bbs/topics/NEWS/2008/NEW01802.html

maybe switch to Nexium?
if you go to the upper right hand corner of this page
& click on ‘search’ and if you search for Nexium, you’ll see that many have
had great success with it- I think it even comes in packets that are easy to mix

growth spurt?
there’s an old wive’s tale that growth spurts come in 3’s meaning 3 weeks, 6 weeks, etc, 3 months, 6 months- any multiple
also could be that it’s day 7 of PPI, making it a week- I wouldn’t worry! enjoy!!!!

lactose is milk sugar, notm milk protein- sometims these little ones have a bit of a time adjusting to the new med- if you think you see gassiness or cramping, try (it might be hard) to wait it out- there are other ingredianets, aside from the lactose, that might be affecting him at first- like the aspertame, coloring, flavvoring, etc….ah…so…[Read more]

can’t help you on the cereal route…if you do decide to try it (after researching it a bit here), go for beechnut brand or earth’s best brand as they don’t have any milk or soy proteins (gerber does)…

as for the prevacid- keep that baby on zantac, give it 4hrs seperate from the prevacid, for a good 2 weeks. that’s how long it might be…[Read more]

yes, I’ve climbed into the crib w/ my babies!!! LOL!!!

as for sleeping- put her on her stomach. she’s 8 months old. she should be fine?

to be honest, I’m not sure what kind of testing would be good at this point…so much is trial & error…an upper Gi is good for finding structural abnomalities (like a blockage or something) but not good for actual diagnosing GERD…an edoscopy is good to find out if baby is allergic, but it doesn’t sound like yours is? I would go for an…[Read more]

compounded PPis can be given whenever. this includes zegerid, as it’s a form of compound- you take the packets & ‘compound’ it yourself….

solutabs need to be given on an empty stomach

well, sounds like the pharmacist is on the right track!
I’d check out the link for how to get it compounded & find out if it’s the ‘right’ percentage per ml, etc- I don’t know this stuff off the top of my head, lol! so here’s the link: compounding from lori: https://www.infantreflux.org/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7855&TPN=1
