ok my dd is 5 months old today and has acid reflux and milk/soy reactions. just started elecare and oh my im just not sure if it seems to be helping or making it worse all she does is cry and scream. to top it off my middle son is in the prosess of being tested for autism so i have my hands full. some days i feel like a bad mother and all i want to do is cry myself. know that this too shall pass but i canthelp but wish for it now. i feel like i cant enjoy my dd baby stages and it hurts because she is the last. man oh man i hope something starts changing for the better before i check myself in to the crazy farm

it should take a good two weeks to see improvement. this is true for any change in all things reflux related- changing formula, changing meds, etc.

please check out

and refer back to it often…

also, from there, is a ‘main’ MSPI page that will help, too:

THIS will help you understand about the switch in formula:

it’ll take two weeks for the nexium to work (IF it’s the proper DOSE and FORM), so, in the meantime, do you have any zantac? axid? pepcid? tagament? You can (& probably should) give this, too, along w/ the nexium- make sure to give it spaced 4hrs from the nexium. I can also help you figure out the proper dose for weight; how much does baby weigh?

Just wanted to say i know how you feel about feeling sad about not enjoying your days with your last baby. I completely understand. I go back to work in July & it makes me feel so sad that the days are being ‘wasted’ with a fussy, screaming baby who’s in pain. I figure I’ll get it all sorted and then it’ll be time to go back! She is my princess after having 2 beautiful boys and all we;ve done is had Dr visits and battled through the days not understanding what all the screaming is about! Sometimes when she won’t feed I have complete meltdowns – i think my DH might check me into the crazy farm soon!!!
