Baby Food

[Anonymous]

My son is now 8 months old and has been eating baby food pretty frequent. Its seems as though it made his reflux worse. I took him back to his GI Doctor and she added Arithroymicin to his Prevacid and Zantac that he already takes. She informed me if this doesnt work she wants to do the scope to be sure theres nothing else going on. Im so afraid to have that done. She also gave me a referal to have blood work to check for allergies eventhough they already switched his formula because they said he had a milk intollerance. He isnt vomitting anymore and he eats without arching his back now but he still has the wet burps that sometimes choke him. Have you ever heard of the reflux acting up due to baby food?

Thanks in advance for any help or support.

hi!
i did notice that any baby food with berries in it made the reflux worse. i also tasted the baby food. if it tasted tart i knew it would bother him. we stuck with pears sweet potato bananas carrots and apples for along time before moving to the combination foods. check the ingredients to see if there are hidden things that hes allergic to.

I did not give any proteins until 9 months (beans, poultry, meat, etc)

try avocados, bananas, sweet potatoes- these things you can mash up yourself and add some formula to thin it…

you don’t have to give cereal. if you do, try barley or oatmeal and make sure there is no added milk or soy
