I'm so sorry to hear about the rough time your little one had :( It is just heartbreaking.<br /><br /><br />We meet with the GI doc for some type of a swallow study/upper GI next week and I really hope they can tell us something. We are using the compounded prilosec that you mentioned. We were at 2.5ml/ once daily, but after I called to say that it wasn't working they switched us to 2ml/twice daily and it has really helped. I'm also happy to know that someone else's baby has a hard time with solids too. The kid just won't open his mouth! When I took him to the doctor, she couldn't even hardly get it open to look in there! :) I'm going to hold off on the solids for a little bit longer and see if that helps any. Someone said, "Food before one is just for fun!" So, I'm going with that!Jessicanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3109282759389594254.post-20997848639716246222013-09-21T12:49:34.214-06:002013-09-21T12:49:34.214-06:00My youngest has very severe reflux.

She screamed for the first year of her life and I mean she screamed all the time, she did not sleep for more then 20 min at a time. The GI doctor doubled her meds when we saw him and with in a week it was like we had a different child. She is 2 1/2 now and still on medicine. She has been stable for a few months and so we may be weaning her in December. Just thought I would share, maybe the medication is not the right dosage? Also she never responded to Zantac. We use prilosec (omeprazole) and it is the compounded kind. Our GI doctor will not prescribe the premixed prilosec. Also my girls both could not handle solids until between 7 and 9 months, sometimes it is too much for their system. My youngest had a very hard time with them.specialteachermomnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3109282759389594254.post-13068880940474761182013-09-21T11:26:54.037-06:002013-09-21T11:26:54.037-06:00Thanks, Amanda!

All of mine have colds, so I'm thinking that's the culprit for us. I hope your kiddos are okay! Haven't seen any updates on your blog in a while! :) Would love to hear what's going on with you and your family!Jessicanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3109282759389594254.post-67073091409218957962013-09-20T18:18:22.771-06:002013-09-20T18:18:22.771-06:00My son sleeps through the night, but there was a t...My son sleeps through the night, but there was a time where I'd have to go into his room and offer a pacifier. Sometimes I think he had nightmares. We did switch to a more gentle formula for a period of time. Do you burp him over the shoulder or where he is sitting up? My husband can get the burps out of my son over the shoulder no problem, but I have to do the sitting up with my son, because my torso is short and it just doesn't work right for the over the shoulder burps. I hope you get some results back and it helps you and your son to get more sleep. Sleep deprivation is a horrible thing.

I haven't slept more than 2 hours at a time in a month. Walking a fine line over her...Amandanoreply@blogger.com
