taniar82 - Friday, 17 October thanks for your reply. she actually let him cry it out last night and he cried for 2 1/2 hrs and unfortunatly he doesnt take a pacifier. fingers crossed its something he grows out of before my sister goes mad xxx
joeyandzacksmommy2007 - Wednesday, 15 October no nothing real loud. the only thing they might do is use a papoose if they can not get him to stay still but they should let you know if it comes to that....where are you going to. we go to smile starters...
joeyandzacksmommy2007 - Wednesday, 15 October zack had his first dentist appointment last week. he did great. he did cry(its expected) and they gave him a varnish to protect his teeth from decaying. as a reward he got a water gun frog, a toothbrush and toothpaste.

Hi there,
I work for a television production company based in the UK . We are currently making a documentary for ITV1 exploring the issues surrounding pregnancy and eating disorders. The film will be a thoughtful and insightful look into this extremely sensitive subject.
We’re in the research stage of our production and very keen to chat to women who are, or have been, pregnant whilst having an eating disorder.
If you’re interested in having a chat or finding out more about our documentary, it would be really great to hear from you. All communication would be in complete confidence.
You can contact me on: seema.modhvadia@rdftelevision.com

armywife63 - Wednesday, 3 September Yeah, he's only ever taken Prevacid and it has been working well. As he approaches the one year old mark, I wonder if he's going to have trouble digesting regular milk. I think I'd like to keep him on the meds during those initial milk feedings to help circumvent any problems with that. Is your baby breastfed or formula fed? My son is formula fed with Similac Sensitive (which also really helped the reflux). I had a horrible time finding a formula that he could tolerate. If I ever have another child, at least I'll know the symptoms of reflux and won't wait so long to see the doctor. It is hard being a first time parent -- we didn't have any idea for the first five weeks that he had reflux and just thought we were stuck with a screaming baby.
armywife63 - Wednesday, 3 September Thanks for your post. I'm glad to hear there were no ill effects on your gallbladder-free pregnancy. I hope whatever bile duct issue I have clears up without the need for further surgery or intervention. Our boys are only 6 days apart and my baby had bad reflux too. Is your baby still on Prevacid? The doctor tried to take my boy off of it a couple of weeks ago, but decided he wasn't quite ready and ordered him back on.
Thanks for your message. Reilly seems to be doing well on the Axid. No crying the past two days! I am putting in her bottle twice a day. Did you mix the Axid with formula for your son? I am wondering if it would be better to give it to her before her bottle...The doctor never really said. Your little guys is adorable!
kristin:armywife07 - Tuesday, 29 July hey, about your son sticking out his tongue...
my daughter is just now 10 months old, but she has been doing the same for the past few months, but i know why- TEETH! you m ay not even see them yet, but they work on their gums with that little tongue to 1)help soothe 2) help cut the teeth... she is perfectly normal, but just cutting a lot of teeth!
*Precious.Moments* - Thursday, 19 June hey.. thx for responding... i was gettin pretty worried... but i started on stage three baby food and she gobbles it up! my daughter is totally teething.. poor thing!.. but it seems she was also bored with the tastes and textures of the stage twos... soooo well see how it goes over the next few days.. anyways thx again! btw your lil guy is soooo adorable!!
MommyTara - Thursday, 12 June Hi ther! I just read your comment you left on the sleep page. My son is almost 6 months and is still getting up at least 5 times a night. I see you were having almost the same sort of problem. Did you try what your doctor told you to do? Did it work? I am desperate for sleep!!! lol
krogers07 - Wednesday, 4 June Thats a great story. Dont we all want it like that :-) Thanks for sharing
heathermariem - Tuesday, 27 May I felt like a bad Mom too. I knew that something wasn't quite right because when I was predominantly breast feeding Giovanna she was a happy content little girl. I didn't realize the connection of her getting fussy with how we had started to give her more formula. I just knew she went from content to very unhappy and crying all the time. I wanted to help her but didn't know what to do. I was so relieved when she was diagnosed because then it meant there was something we could do to make her feel better. Thank you so much for leaving all the comments, it really did help to know someone else knew what I was going through too.
heathermariem - Wednesday, 21 May Thank you for the advice. I've read through your entries and they sound so similar to what we've been going through. I was mainly breastfeeding until we moved our things from the attic to the first floor apartment of the house. I needed to spend hours bringing things down and couldn't keep up with the breastfeeding since she was pretty much constantly nursing. The more bottles she got the more cranky she became. Now she gets more bottles than breast milk. What a relief to finally have her diagnosed and get our happy baby back. All she needed was the medicine and a formula change. She still has some fussy moments but I think that is the normal amount a baby should have. Did you go through issues with your little guy not wanting to take the bottle? She would breast feed no problem but was refusing the bottle. We still have some problems getting her to take the bottle but at least now she isn't thrashing her head side to side. It does take a lot of patience and encouragement to get her to take the bottle but once she does she usually sticks with it. How many ounces of formula does JJ drink at a time? Thank you for all your help, it is nice to know there are other people out there that have gone through this and have an understanding of what I'm going through.
pepper1376 - Friday, 9 May I agree- I can't wait until mine grows out of this too!! She had a REALLY bad day yesterday but is having a good day so far today. Does JJ go back and forth like that? It's weird, some days it's like there's absolutely nothing wrong with her and other days.....geesh! Her bad days are usually the days I have a lot of running around to do... I was about ready to run her to the hospital yesterday, it was horrible. Hardly nothing coming up today....(knock on wood...)

pepper1376 - Thursday, 8 May Hi, my 6 wk. old baby girl, Ava, has reflux also. She's gaining weight great and isn't fussy. She just pukes constantly! It comes up through her nose and then she panics and holds her breath, stopped breathing a few times in the hospital which got her an apnea monitor. Her doctor is finally sending her to an ear, nose, throat specialist to see why it keeps coming up through her nose. I can't lay her on her back, EVER. She's either in her car seat or propped up on a pillow. My mom found a bassinet that raises up at the head but I don't know what we're going to do when she outgrows that. If I lay her on her back, everything immedietly flows out her nose. Her doctor said her palate was fine so we don't understand WHY she does this. Can't wait to see the specialist on Mon.! You might try the Dr. Brown bottles, they seem to help Ava a little. I can't even see her pretty outfits because they're always covered in a bib (which I own about a hundred of those things now and STILL don't seem to have enough!). She's on Zantac which I didn't think was helping until I missed a dose... I'll never miss a dose again--she was shooting vomit clear across the room and it took forever to get her to keep her next dose down! It's really turning into a nightmare! She's really not fussy though and sleeps VERY well at night (midnight to about 6:30 am!).
I'm scared to let people hold her because I just know she's going to puke all over them because people want to lay her back so they can get a look at her...and I'm there going "NO!! Put her on your shoulder!!!" I'm sure they all think I'm nuts as they don't seem to understand how BAD it is. Sometimes I think they think I'm over reacting. They don't see her panic and hold her breath when it comes up her nose though!
Your JJ is doing better? Do you think anything in particular helped or do you think he's maybe just growing out of it?
He's a cutie! Congrats!
cko1522 - Monday, 5 May Oh thank you so much for your posts and words of encouragement about this reflux thing. Gosh, its aweful. It is so nice to have this website for support.
