~*~Braden’s Mommy~*~ asked:


I noticed a few questions on here about reflux today and it seems like an unusual amount of people are responding and saying their babies have reflux or GERD. Do doctors just hand out those diagnosis every time a baby spits up more than a couple times a day?

My little guy has been on zantac for GERD since he was 3 weeks old, but he really did have it bad. He would just scream and scream while arching his back because he was in pain, and was projectile spitting up everything he ate. The zantac helped, but he still spits up obviously since it doesn’t treat that symptom.

I’m not trying to say other people’s children don’t have reflux by any means, just wondering if you guys think that many babies really have the condition, or is it just something that is getting over diagnosed these days?
I agree about the medication hannah. I took my son in one morning when he was about 2 1/2 weeks old to see a nurse practitioner because of his reflux symptoms and she immediately just wanted to call in zantac without doing any testing. I opted to wait and have the pediatrician make sure before I put him on daily medicine, but it concerned me that the nurse practitioner was so quick to just say it’s reflux, give this medicine!
Mallory’s mom-I hope you find out what’s going on with her so good luck! Just in case your last pedi didn’t tell you though, no medicine can stop the spitting up, it just takes away the discomfort associated with it.

My son was diagnosed w/ severe GERD at 4 weeks. At the time, I was exclusively breastfeeding. He was extremely gassy, very fussy, grunting all the time, pulling up his legs, spitting up a lot, arching his neck, etc. We took him for an upper GI and the reflux was confirmed. I was told to stop bf and thicken his feeds, which made his **** disgusting but didn’t really help anything else. He is on Prevacid, which is helping with the burning but he is still really uncomfortable (grunting & fussing all the time). We have switched him to Nutramigen to see if this helps. It’s been 3 days and we’re not seeing a difference. I’m pumping & storing my milk for now until we see how the Nutramigen does. We keep him elevated at all times and I even bought a Tucker wedge.
Does anyone have a success story about a GERD baby? Keep in mind that my son’s case is considered severe. Did anyone breastfeed through this? He seems much worse when I try to bf. I’m eliminating dairy while we’re trying the Nutramigen. This is really taking a toll on the whole family!

Has anyone with an infant with gerd had this occur? Any suggestions
on how to sooth his throat? Called Dr, was told it was viral and had
to run its course, but I am not sure I agree with that.

Cameron is a happy baby asked:


My son has GERD, pretty severely although doing MUCH MUCH better. Except for 3 days ago. The past 3 days he has been extremely cranky most of the time, spits out his Zantac and spitting up so much to the point where I go through at least 5 outfits in one day (even with a bib on). I feel so bad for him because it doesnt seem like it bothers him when he spits up but the after-effect of it is what seems to bother him. He has been on Soy for the past two months and was just switched to a regular milk based formula today (which still, the spit up was less than the past 2 days. it slightly died down). He has his great days and then he has once a week maybe, a bad day with a lot of spit up.

Now, I know the Zantac doesnt take away the spit up and will help with the cranky-ness.

Has anyone been in this situation before, where your baby has been doing great with their GERD and then all the sudden has a few bad days?

How do you handle it?? —- I got so upset and tired from being up with him that I had to have my mom take him for a night because I was over-tired and making stupid mistakes with things (ie i spilled his bottle everywhere…just stupid stuff LOL). That, in turn made me feel like a TERRIBLE MOTHER.

Any suggestions on what I can do to make him feel better in the meantime until this passes?
OK people- he went to the doctor today before I even asked this question. I asked the doctor all the same questions but I was looking from experiences of other people what might make him more comfortable. And for the one who asked thank you for the suggestion of checking to see if his dose needed to be increased and she did increase it. But I have asked the questions to the doctor and I know he is just having a few bad days with it….

******I have a doc appointment this afternoon***********

My 7 week old son has been a spit upper since he was born, and I just thought it was normal baby spit up, but latley its quite a bit and sometimes forceful, for instance he just had a 4 ounce bottle, i burped him after the first ounce and he spit most of that up, then after the second ounce he burped and spit most of that up, then he finished the bottle, fine no spit up and went to sleep. He’s on soy formula because he can’t digest the milk protein in reg formula, and also has colic, which is getting better. he’s very hard to get to sleep, and some nights i have to walk him for a half hour or more. I’m just thinking maybe he has gerd, and i’ve researched it, but just wondering what wroked for your reflux babies, and how they acted. Hopefully the doc figures this out today because i’m completely exhausted from lack of sleep with him.
yes he was diagnose with milk protein allergy by a docotor, since he was vomiting and having watery diarhea, and the diarhea stopped as sson as he switched to soy, and just to be sure, we tried milk formula again a few weeks ago and the diarhea came back, it stopped again as soon as he went to soy. also for the spitting up, I’ve tried everything, feeding him upright, propping him up, and he still spits up.

my daughter has been on Reglan since birth for GERD and I was thinking about asking the doctor if we can try to take her off of it. I have heard about a lot of nasty side effects from it and I was just wondering if anyone has had a baby with GERD who was treated with something other than Reglan.

boooley asked:


it’s been 3 days since I changed my son’s milk and now he vomits the entire milk after each feeding. he didn’t vomit for the first 2 days but now he begins to show signs of GERD, he also has loose stools. is it possible that at 6mos GERD will develop, likewise could it be the new milk that causes this problem?. His pedia is out of the country until saturday. this worries me a lot.

Alessandro asked:


I posted a ? about my baby waking up constantly, and one lady answered maybe she has heartburn (she’s formula fed) I’ve mentioned to her pediatrician that she wakes up a lot, and he didnt say anything about heartburn, but I think it could be a reason. How can I find out? What are come other symptoms that she has heartburn? Thanks very much for your answers!
