REFLUX

Does anyone have children that has reflux problems?

Hi

Alexandre, my "baby A" has reflux. He was put on Zantac and given AR formula
at 3 months roughly and is feeling better since then. Now he's 7 months and
a half and we stopped the Zantac. He's not spitting up anymore but he's
still on the AR formula. The pedi said to go on 2 or 3 months before
stopping.

He got a lot better and was in less pain when we gave him the Zantac.

My twin grandsons had it -- and it was awful. The doctor said it would
last about a year...and it did. We put them in their car seats to
sleep (sitting up) for the first few months. We had about 100 'burpie
cloths' made from flannel fabric yardage -- that helped, too. Tried to
feed them in a sitting up position. Thought it would never end, but it
did. Hang in there.

Two of mine had it. I didn't think it would ever end - but it gradually
got better. By 8-9 months I guess it was gone. One of my boys was a
projectile vomiter. Talk about a BAD case of reflux. We did the
sitting up feeding and the Reglan. I had to prop their mattresses up
with folded blankets underneath them when they were really tiny babies
because of reflux issues. Email me privately if you want more
information on that. .

Yes, my DD Olivia had severe reflux. She didn't spit up a lot, but she
was in a lot of pain until we started medicating her. She was on
Zantac until she was about 11 months old, and it helped her immensely.

My "A" son had reflux too, the doctor prescribed the usual medicine for
use in with the milk but that just blocked the teats up and didn't stop
the vomiting.
I found that feeding "little and often" and burping very frequently
(every few sucks on the bottle) throughout the feed worked for my son
and he stopped within a month.

My daughter had it too and we put her to sleep in her car seat for a couple
of months. She just never seemed comfortable lying down flat. This seemed
to really help her. The problem seemed to resolve at about six months.

I was lucky that my boys didn't experience reflux. I just wanted to
add that, in addition to car seats, cradle swings are a comfortable way
for babies to sleep more upright. Mine slept in cradel swings from
about 6 weeks to 5 months. They preferred them to sleeping on their
backs in the crib.
