Acid Reflux In Toddlers
Q: I'm a new mom of three month old baby boys, one of them seem to have
serious problem with his colics up to the point where every time I bottle
feed him, he takes three sips and starts screeming and crying a lot for an
hour or more. Dr say to change formulas which i've been doing but no change
at all. He doesn't loose any weight, he just criesand cries a lot. I'm very
concern, even though the Dr, has told me not to worry. But I do. So can
anyone tell me , is this normal? or is there something Dr dont' want to
tell me.
and can anyone tell me, when am I going to get a full night sleep? three
months and still bottle feed them every three to four hours every night. Is
this normal too?
I would apreciate any info that anyone could give me.. Thankyou.
Our little girl had colic. That baby didn't just cry, she *screamed*. I was
convinced that she made more noise per pound than any creature alive on Earth.
They say that babies grow out of colic in three to six months. We're lucky that
our baby seems to have more or less grown out of it after about a month and a
half.
My sister had a colicky baby who went seven months before he stopped
crying all the time. Her kid had colic and reflux, same as yours. They went
through all the same stuff you're describing.
The good news is that, supposedly, colicky babies tend to grown into happy,
active toddlers. That seems to be the case with my sister's kid. Our girl
isn't a toddler yet, but lately, she's been showing us a very beautiful smile.
Anyone has comments about this?Please tell me your views about this problems of acid reflux in toddlers.
A:What you are describing seems to be exactly like my daughter at
about 10 weeks of age. At each feed she would have about 2 sips of her
formula and then scream in absolute agony. I kept taking her back to her
doctors to which I was informed that heartburn usually occurs after a feed,
and we knew it wasn't from the formula as she had already been diagnosed
with lactose intolerance and had stomach surgery. Anyway, after spending a
night in the hospital for the nursing staff to observe her they diagnosed
severe heartburn, colic and reflux(which we already knew she had). She was
prescibed a medication (they tried Milanta which was useless) which she had
until
