hi & welcome! you’ve found a great place!the key to all of this is RESEARCH and, of course, support!gas & straining very well could be signs of a protein intolerance…if you’re breastfeeding you could try cutting out all milk and soy for a good 2 weeks and see if that helps any. or just concentrate on the medication first and see how that goes…also the prevacid dose sounds good, but check here:http://www.marci-kids.com is at the FOREFRONT of research of PPI use and dosing in infants/todders. You might want to start there to see if PPI dose is ‘proper’ and to learn more about PPIs and infants and about reflux in general.then, hop back here to learn HOW to get that proper dose, if need be, and what FORM of PPI and HOW to administer…unfortunately the majority of drs & pharmacists don’t know…babies metabolisms’ are much faster than adults, so the drugs work differently with them…make sure you are giving it on an empty stomach, followed by a meal 30 minutes later. it is most effective this way.BABYWEARING SAVED US! saved.us!there’s a link from Groupie Intro
Groupie INtro is looong, but it WILL help you!please refer to it often.Groupie Intro:it’s looong, but PLEASE read/skim/scroll through it & refer back to it, as it TRULY will help you!so glad you found us!~lauraThis is such amazing information! Thanks so much! It’s very helpful.
I just ordered a moby wrap, I hope it makes things a little easier! Also, the pedi just prescribed Carafate, but I’m not sure how to time it around the Prevacid? Do you know where I can find info on that?
Thanks again for your help! It’s so good to know we’re not alone!
Found it, thanks! It’s so hard to do all this timing with a newborn! I sure hope we see some improvement by adding the Carafate to the mix!
