Dinner hurts

[Anonymous]

My baby will be two in exactly one week. He has been off prevacid- slowly weaned- for about a week. I was so excited b/c past attempts have failed. I was cuddling with him before bedtime and he did that same old grimace and swallow that I HATE to see. Then, he said “dinner hurts.” I wanted to cry. For those of you who have babies with longstanding reflux, I understand. This is a loooong battle for Jackson- and Mommy.

Try a pepcid complete and see if that helps, maybe it will just be an occasional thing! What did you guys have for dinner? I know tomato sauce type things always irritate Cooper still. Good Luck.

pepcid ac or a tums? some mylanta? I used to have to give Jonah tums periodically…(still do, but I think it’s because he thinks it’s candy)

up until about a year ago, riley would occassionally tell me his stomach hurt and he would gulp. tums worked like a charm, although i did get the adult version (i know they have a kids version out there) and i gave him the whole tab, not half. it does get better! i never thought the poor kid would be off everything but here we are!

Here is my problem- Jackson is fairly verbal now- talking in up to 4 word “sentences.” Still, I am concerned about his consistency of communicating pain to me. I am not sure that he would always tell me just yet. I just happen to be cuddling with him when he refluxed this time. If I were not holding him and looking at him eye to eye at that moment, I wonder if he would tell me. I am tempted to just do prevacid at night until I feel like he would definitely communicate any pain to me.

you could try 1/2 a pepcid ac disolved/crushed in some water…

or go back to some prevacid…
