Hi All,
You helped me when my son was a couple months old get to a GI specialist where he was diagnosed with GERD. He also has MSPI and has been doing well on Alimentum. For awhile he was on Zantac which really didn’t help much, so he was switched to Prevacid exactly 3 months ago. He still wasn’t doing great so we put him on max dose (based on Marci kids recommendation). This made no difference. For the past 3 months he has been eating at least the recommended amount per day and has been gaining weight slowly. He is up to 14 pounds (is now 5 months old). He is still under the 5% percentile for weight. Over the past few months his feedings have been noticibly better. He will eat 3-5 ounces, although we have been having to distract him while feeding.
The last four days he has been really bad. He went from eating regularly 35-38 oz per day, down to about 25-28 oz per day. We haven’t changed anything so I’m not sure what the problem is. He will eat about 2 ounces and then start throwing a fit. He also seems to want to sleep alot and his mood overall is poor.
I’m feeling sick about having to start this feeding nightmare over again. Any ideas or thoughts about what I can do to help him?
Thanks!
