It could certainly be related to the formula – what do his stools look like? He *could* need a more hypo formula… BUT if you said he was sleeping “okay” (not great, but not horrible) with you eating a ‘normal’ diet (& his stools were okay during this time too) then it may not be the formula. I know that’s confusing – hope it makes sense.
My ds was able to be completely off reflux meds while ‘just’ breastfeeding (with a very restricted diet)… but when he started solids – even mild stuff like squash – he started waking a TON. Since his stools were ‘normal’ we put him back on Prevacid & he immediately started sleeping better. So, my deduction was that his reflux/acid was under control w/ a liquid-only diet…but with the addition of solids he needed more help controlling it (which I was totally fine with putting/keeping him on the Prevacid). SO, all that to say that this could certainly be your ds’s problem as well.
Also, what kind of solids is he eating?! Again, this goes back to intolerances/allergies & maybe he’s reacting to something he’s eating?! What do his stools consistently look like?!
Finally (& I realize you know this)… his dose is low for his age/weight. This is most likely a large part of his waking as well. Have you tried going through his general ped (if you’ve been dealing w/ ped GI for med issues)?! Printing & taking in &/or faxing ALL the marci-kids info, etc, etc.
I know that’s a lot of info… hang in there!erinntx2009-09-28 11:54:04
