hi there,
how do you know you don’t make enough? just curious if a lactation consultant told you or your dr told you or you just told you, lol?
anyway, I have a lot to say & it’s called ‘Groupie Intro’ it’s the 1st post in the Introduce yourself forum

welcome!
sleeping can be a sign of improvement if she wasn’t sleeping before…
I have a lot to say here:

I say how to in ‘prevacid 101’ – you can try that route or just contact marci-kids

from ‘prevacid 101’ there’s a link about how to administer the solutabs
(prevacid 101 is found in ‘groupie intro’ which is the top post in the Introduce yourself forum & also found in ‘treating GERD w/ PPIs’- the top post in the medicines forum)

awwww! baked pear is good

you can give it whenever

well…yes, with caracream
check out Prevacid 101

in the meatime, if you have zantac (or axid or pepsid or tagament) you can give that as well for some relief…just give it 4hrs seperate from the PPI
if it’s zantac we can help you calculate a ‘proper’ dose

That is interesting, I noticed this around her eyebrows a lot. No beef? I guess I will stick to chiken and rice. I will try the prescribed dose and call if I need an increase, my Ped is pretty good about doing what I want. Our first dose is in the morning, wish me luck,
BTW…anyone notice their babies having a sensitivity to…

ok I’m sounding like a snmart aleck & that’s not my intention

this is what I would do:
try & get the prevacid compounded properly. if the pharmacist…[Read more]

compounded (compounded CORRECTLY) can be given anytime

how does dr know it’s a milk allergy?
sorry for the questions- just trying to help you…
in the meantime, are you eliminating all dairy (including ‘hidden’) from your diet so that your milk is free of milk proteins and then you can try to breastfeed again (sounds like you would like to return to itas you said you’re pumping)

sounds like silent reflux (not spitting up excessive amounts)
gaining weight does not mean a baby doesn’t have reflux…
wheezing during feeds? has a dr witnessed this? is dr going to do a swallow study to see if baby is aspirating during feeds? something you might want to ask dr…
prevacid isn’t harmful for babies, so after a good 2 weeks…[Read more]

I found a natural type ‘viks’ that I love- this way I don’t feel weird about putting it on baby’s face…

in the meantime (as you deal w/ trying to get the dose increased) I would give zantac also- space it 2-4hrs sperate from the Prevacid
you can do 5-10mgs per kilo of the zantac per day- dont take my word for it, talk w/ your pharmacist- s/he has
an electronic device called an ipharmacist which is updated regularly with all the current dosing.…[Read more]

ok is she happy or fussy/in pain? you say she’s happy in the beginning and end of your post but in the middle you mention pain…
I would maybe ask for a swallow study? this is to see how (maybe even why?) she can only handle the thicker feeds- it watches her swallow liquids of different thicknesses- then maybe WIC will pay for whatever the…[Read more]
