sounds like silent reflux (not spitting up excessive amounts)
gaining weight does not mean a baby doesn’t have reflux…
wheezing during feeds? has a dr witnessed this? is dr going to do a swallow study to see if baby is aspirating during feeds? something you might want to ask dr…
prevacid isn’t harmful for babies, so after a good 2 weeks of administering it PROPERLY (
), if you dont’ see any difference then you can decide to perhaps not give hte prevacid- but you ‘need’ to give it a good full 2 weeks…Hey
Your situation sounds kind of like mine. Kate is my daughter and was stumping docs all over Indiana(well, not ALL over but it took us three trys to find the right doc so it sure as heck FELT like all over) because she was gaining weight like a champ and appeared extremely healthy. Unfortunately, sometimes peds only start paying attention when the baby starts to lose weight and by then damage has been done.
ANYWAY, Kate’s a pretty happy baby most times but her feeding was our main red flag that something was up. I have OALD and she possibly has multiple food allergies(poor baby, I hope she turns out well adjusted after all this drama)but she would arch, scream sometimes,grunt, whimper, twitch,gasping, gulp air, always shows Sandifer sydrome symptoms(Stiffening of the leg. turning their head to one side, eyes rolling back, almost like seizure which is scary), and you could hear thr gurgling in her belly really loud of all this stuff moving up and down. What was my point again…..oh! I just thought this was normal because I would describe this behavior and the response I got was ” oh, some babies just fidget and are fussy when they eat” This of course was so much MORE than that I learned and wasn’t normal for an infant to eat this way.Kate’s situation is also strange because she LOVES playing on her back too so it was confusing.( I promise I’m almost done)It’s so awesome that you recognize something isn’t right. Always listen to your gut. I’m glad she’s on meds now and I hope she gets better soon. She will!
Hi, Little Alana (OK she’s never been little
) started gaining weight like a champ from about four weeks and has since been at the 90 percentile. She was a comfort eater for weeks until we got her meds and formula figured out. She was never a big spitter, probably spitting less than a normal bub. But she had all the other symptoms you described and was only truely happy once we had her on prevacid.
