My little boy is 7 1/2 months old. He’s been battling reflux since he was a little over one month old. He’s tried several meds and several formulas. Last Tuesday he finally went to the G. I. The dr. decided to keep him on his same meds. (Prevacid Solutab 15 mg. twice a day, Beth…?? 0.8 ml four times a day, and Caraphate 1.0 ml as needed.) The dr. changed his formaul to Similac Alimentum to see if maybe he has a milk intolerance. After a few days I thought the formula was working because he wasn’t spitting up as bad and he wasn’t as cranky. I know that I should give the new formula at least a month, but my question is he now has a horrible rash under his lower lip, on his cheek, and on his back. This rash just started since he started the formula. It’s red and raised looking. Today he cried all day long! We go to the G. I. again next Friday. I’m at a loss as to tell him how things are going. He is now spitting up A LOT…it seems like more than before. I am so frustrated! My little boy is so sweet and loving. I just want him to feel better, but I don’t know how to help. Do you have any suggestions?
Yikes.. I’m so sorry, Jennifer.. I don’t have any ideas for you. Has he eaten anything else that could be the culprit? What formula was he on previously?
I am so sorry that you are going through this. A lot of babies with bad reflux and food intolerances/allergies do well on Neocate. Have you tried this?
We went through several formulas as well, and the only one my son could tolerate was Nutramigen In fact, he is 15 months old now and we are still on it due to reflux and milk/soy intolerance.
