my daughter is now a month and 15 days (6 weeks) and has reflux. We found out that she had reflux at the age of 10 days. We started her out on the soy formula no change so then we went to the zantac no change. Right now she is taking previcid 7.5 mg a day mixed with 2oz of water. still not helping. In the past 2 1/2 weeks we have changed her formula 3 times fisrt it was the simalc alimentum no change the enfimil nutramigen no help. Now she is on elecare. She has been taking it for 48 hours now and still now sign of relief. seriously what else am i going to have to put my lil one through. I wish there was more that we could do for her. She is just non stop crying (painful crying). I don’t get anymore then 3 hours a sleep total every night. I can get her to fall asleep for about 20 min and then she instnatly wakes up screaming. I know that there is a end to this adventually but seriously what can i do for till then. I have bought everything that was suggested on this page and nothing helps.
Hi there. Welcome to the site! I remember how awful the early days were before Hailey was medicated properly. Hopefully we can help you to sort things out.
I basically agree with everything that Christine said, so I’ll try not to be repetitive (I guess some of us have been around here so long that we basically think alike
).I remember being in the thick of it and wanting some relief so badly that I basically would change anything and everything I could in hopes that something would help. My advice would be to try not to make too many changes at once- if you do, then you might not be giving things enough time to work out, and if something does work then it will be hard to know what did the trick.
One more thing about the solutabs, if that’s what you’re using, is that you can not crush it.
About the elecare, like Christine said, these things are not a quick fix, and can take a couple of weeks to see improvements. I would try to stick it out.
About the sleep, you might want to try to elevate her crib, or getting a wedge like the Tucker sling. I haven’t used it personally, but have heard pretty good things about it. You might also want to try babywearing. Good luck.
