Really hate seeing my son struggle with this acid reflux. He just seems miserable , he’s constantly…

Did they rule out a dairy allergy? My friends son they thought had reflux and it turned out to be a dairy allergy cause when he got older he would have explosive diarrhea every night.

@lizibear84, yes they put him on soy to see if it would help, it made him worse

@lizibear84, he throws up even more now than before

@lizibear84, it’s crazy you can smell it as soon as he throws up (the acid)

@ibirthgreatness, Oh no! I’m so sorry. I hope he gets the right medicine to help quickly! Poor baby

@lizibear84, thank you so much. I’m keeping my fingers crossed for tomorrow’s appointment

How much are you feeding the baby and are you pacefeeding?

@beemommyof3, when he Eats from the bottle he doing 3 to 3 1.5 ounces . & eats every 2-3 hours

He is only a month old. He doesnt need that much milk in a sitting. I think pacefeeding would eliminate the reflux.

@beemommyof3, that what his doctor has him on when we do bottles . He was doing 2 ounces but it wasn’t enough for him

Are you burping every half ounce and does it take 20 to 30 minutes to give the bottle

& yes I do the pace feeding @beemommyof 3

@beemommyof3

Hmmm. Are you formula feeding only or breastfeeding?

I would do only 2 ounces. Most likely he isnt still hungry. What they want is to suckle for comfort and he cant do that with a bottle. If you put a nipple on a. gallon of milk he will drink it because he wants to suckle. Not for hunger purposes.

@beemommyof3, both since they wanted to try soy, But I want to go back to exclusively breast-feeding

Oh good. Is your letdown fast?

@beemommyof3, sorry was feeding him. I’ll take him down gradually and see how he does and let his doctor know. But he definitely showed signs of wanting more . He wouldn’t even suckle on my boob or the pacifier he would continue eating . But I’ll try it and see how he does. I just want him better

@beemommyof3, yes sometimes. Sometimes he chokes on it. Or sometimes it’s super slow I had to massage it to get it to let down

Have you tried nursing on your back?

@beemommyof3, no I didn’t know about that will that help with the fast let down ? Do you still have your group can you add me

Yes.

I nurse that way because mine is fast.

@beemommyof3, I’ll definitely have to try that . Thank you ! I would have never known

I think am having the same issue too. Am exclusively breastfeeding and I feed on demand. My baby spit up alot. And when she does the milk is cradle. Even after spit up she still wanna nurse

@ibirthgreatness, How did the appointment go?

@lizibear84, he ended up having to go to urgent care to be seen . Doctor had to leave so they told me to go there but urgent care didnt know his history and went to start him on meds without knowing. So I have to wait for his doctor to see him. They didn’t feel comfortable giving meds at 7 weeks old

@ibirthgreatness, Oh no! When do you go back?

@lizibear84, on the 8th sadly

@lizibear84, he gets shots as well that day

@ibirthgreatness, Awww! Well I hope he gets what he needs
