happy baby, yucky mucous diapers?

[Anonymous]

Riley has been doing GREAT! I got him in to a specialist pretty quickly w/ a referall from pedi ( i think she was tired of my constant suggestions on what we could try… ). Anyway, he bumped prevacid up to 7.5 mg 3x day and as i speak he is sitting in his bouncy seat cooing, after just eating. amen!

the dr said to go ahead and try a bit of gentlease formula if i felt comfortable. well i guess i got brave and went ahead and tried ( oh yeah and i am tired of being broke w/ the alimentum…). He is still just as happy, even seems more comfy pooping though it is thicker. BUT, there IS mucous. My second son had this and he was miserable UNTIL we put him on alimentum.

Does mucous mean it is irritating his system? I am kinda thinking the ball will drop, but we just finished a can of the gentlease and he really seems fine. I just don’t want to be doing damage unknowingly…

give the formula two weeks to see full results…

Just to make you feel better. My DS had mucous with Nutramigen and that was his only symptom after he was on the right meds and we never went further b/c of the cost… so if mucous is the only problem and as long as it isn’t in every diaper then I say go with the Gentlease. My DD who doesn’t have reflux will have an occasional mucousy diaper so I think occasional ones aren’t a problem. Good Luck.
