It’s not my Milk! Tongue & Lip Tie
Laura, your website is amazing! Are you a doctor? I’m trying to go through it.
I’ve been off of dairy for almost a month, no soy, chocolate, gassy veggies, onions, garlic…
I took him yesterday to a homeopathic doctor. He gave him Tummy QI to balance his digestive system. He’s been on Gerber Colic Soothe probiotics for about a month now. I’m pulling out my hair!!! I don’t know what to do anymore! I want to take him to the chiro because a friend of mine said that when they’re in the birth canal for a while, I was pushing for like 45 minutes, their diaphragm can come out of place and cause the reflux. Help!!!
I’m very into natural. The doctor originally had him on Zantac and I took him off because I wasn’t convinced it was reflux. I took him to the ENT because he makes noise sometimes when he nurses. He scoped him and that’s when he saw the reflux and his larynx is inflamed from it.
…I don’t know what to do anymore. I spoke with my pediatrician and he told me to go to the gastro once and for all to do the PH testing and to see if the Prevacid is good enough for him or if he needs to add something else. He also said that he’ll tell me if I can continue nursing or not. I’m very nervous about that. I don’t want to stop nursing!!!
I keep reading online that breast milk is the best for this but he keeps on saying that if the gastro thinks otherwise because maybe he’s just too sensitive to something(s) in the milk, then I have to stop. What do you think? I’ve already eliminated everything except gluten. That would be my next step.
Hi! I’m still trying to figure out this whole thing myself. Thank G-d he’s getting better on the Prevacid. I took him to the best known gastros here in Miami the other day and she told me that no further testing is necessary and that she wants me to pump 1 ounce of milk and mix it with 2 teaspoons of rice cereal before every feed and only feed him 1 side. I don’t agree with giving rice cereal at 3 months if my baby is growing excellent and gaining weight at an amazing rate. He’s already 13 pounds! I am meeting with a lactation consultant this coming week because after immense research on my part, my main problem for his spit ups could be my very fast let down and the fact that I make too much milk.
Hi! An amazing lactation consultant came to my house yesterday and she diagnosed my baby with both tongue and lip ties! He’s now 3 months and I’m so upset because when he was about a month old before I knew he had the reflux, I researched a ton about colic and gases and it kept saying to rule those 2 things out. I took him to the pediatrician and she said that he had neither!!! Poor thing! Hopefully he’ll get a lot better after the procedure. She’s sending me to a periodontist who does it with laser and it’s only 5 minutes. Different people were giving their opinions that maybe it’s better to formula feed because my milk could’ve been affecting him. I didn’t listen and I’m glad I didn’t!!!! He did his procedure today and he had both tongue and lip tie. The periodontist and his staff are amazing!!!!!! [See Directory for these Recommendations!]
