I’m not sure how much weight a baby is supposed to gain, but
http://www.askdrsears.com is a great resource- maybe there’s something about this there…

Jonah’s getting off the meds: https://www.infantreflux.org/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2057&PN=1&TPN=1

ok I’m confused? why is she on prilosec? yousaid she’s not in pain.
I mean if the main issue is spitting up then that’s one thing
but you do mention mucous as well-
leads me to think mspi (thus the nutramigen)
but when you say prilosec a few ‘bells’ go off:
please forgive me if I’m wrong! just guessing here:

1) it’s probably not a…[Read more]

is there nutramigen ready-to-feed? I think this is thicker?
someone will chime in I’m sure

hi & welcome!

I’m not sure about the zantac doing that? hmm…otherwise does it seem to be working?

I have a lot to say here: Groupie Intro: my intro: https://www.infantreflux.org/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=853&PN=1&TPN=1

please take the time to read through/scroll/ skim!

yes, actually, reflux babies tend to be more prone to ear infections…babies in general are prone bcse their tubes (ear tubes, can’t remember the correct name) are horizontal and liquid tends to gather/pool there and, when they’re horizontal, it’s hard to drain. as babies get bigger their tubes naturally start to become vertical, thus draining…[Read more]

hi & welcome! I have a lot to say and if you go to the Introduce Yourself Forum you will see the top post there called Groupie Intro. That’s my welcome/intro and you’ll find that you refer back to it, as there is a lot of information to help you.

I had my baby on reglan but as soon as I researched it I took him off of it. This is because it…[Read more]

hi & welcome!

thickening may or may not help your baby…it’s fairly controversial- some swear by it & others report they found it didn’t make any difference & some say it causes gas/constipation, etc. I never thickened so I cannot speak from experience; I can only report what I have learned from this site over the past 4 years…I also am…[Read more]

I would contact marci-kids…I’m sure they have the info for you…

it’s hard going back to work! I would say that these little ones (for the most part) get adjusted and figure out what to eat & when & where (and also sleeping)
not eating bcse of holding out for the breast is very different from not eating bcse of a food aversion…so if your lo is generally an ok eater, then I would guess that he will learn to…[Read more]

my non reflux breastfed baby doesn’t drink much from a bottle; I think he knows to hold out & wait for mama to return…

ok someone correct ME if need be!!

14lbs is 6.4kilos

< 3 months
1.5 mg/kg three times per day

that’s 1.5 x 6.4 = 9.6mgs one time a day, so then total for the day is

9.6 x 3 = 28.8mgs a day total

2mg/ml

so 28.8 divided by 2 = 14.4mls total for the day
divided up however you want over the course…[Read more]

axid is the same ‘kind’ of medicine/drug as zantac
there’s: pepsid, zantac, axid, tagament

Andrea,
you’re dealing with two kinds of measurements…
the mls is how liquid is measured
the mgs is how solids, in this case, medicine, PPI, is measured

for example: from lori:
According to marci-kids research…[Read more]
