sandifers baby,breastfeeding and zoloft?

[Anonymous]

so late last month my life was flipped upside down.

When I woke up to my almost 6 week old having what I thought was

a seizure. I called 911 BC she just wasn’t coming out of it.

they came we went to the er was there for 2 hours she was still having her episode. She was air lifted to AI doupont childrens hospital. I got up there 4 hours later. She had finely just calmed down. Her episode lasted over 6 hours. After tons of test and nothing the only thing they could come up with was sandifurs.

I didn’t realize she even had reflux. She would spit up here and there. Not really fussy, had some wet burps.

Because she EBF I really felt like it was my fault.

Now she’s on zantac 1mil twice a day and just happy as can be.

Now for my issues I have PPA with OCD & vary bad panic attacks

my doctor wants me to start zoloft but how will it effect her???

Any help would be grate 🙂

Thanks ahead of time 🙂

Not much, she now gets her meds 3 times a day.

I’m off the zoloft and taking 6000iu of D3 instead.

we haven’t had another episode yet. But I seen some weird behavior

if I pick her up too quickly from her bouncy seat, or lift her from my lap to a standing position. Her hand go up a tighten she tenses up and holds her breath. We are still BFing and 2-3 bottles a day. kmomof62013-08-08 23:18:08

thanks for the update! How’s your thyroid? Petuitory?

These can affect mood/anxiety,etc. just a thought.

I have Hashimotos, it’s a thyroid disease (under active/hypothyroidism)

Are you happy w/ your ped GI? Why? Why not? Please post

I haven’t had a full blood panel done in over year.

Everything came back fine last time.

I have to go for my yearly PCP visit soon.

Ped is fine still waiting for our insurance to approve a pedGI doctor. They’re not in a rush I guess -_-.
