Infant with Reflux

I have a almost 5 month old baby boy with reflux. He was born 13 weeks early. The doctor has him on previcid and it has not seemed to work. We have him on the Similic Advance formula. He does ok the first half of his feed, then the rest of his feed he will fight eating. Sometimes after he burps it gets better. He spits up after almost every feed. He is gaining weight. I was wondering if anyone else has had these problems and what worked for you. I am thinking of calling the doctor and putting him on a different formula. He also will cry...

Could It Be Acid Reflux?

My 1 month old has been very fussy the last couple of weeks, and I'm not sure whats wrong. He hardly naps during the day, but will sleep for 2-3 hours at a time during the night.

Avent or Born Free Bottles???

I am due to have my 2nd baby in January and I can't decide which bottles to use. I will be breastfeeding as long as possible but will still need bottles.

Constipated 11-Month Old (Sorry to Ask, but Need Suggestions :)

Hi there, Our little bundle of joy started on solid foods when she was 6 months old, but rejected all food except breast milk after a month or two, and only ate breast milk until fairly recently. I'm thrilled that she's eating now, but she has become increasingly more constipated since she started eating solid foods. I stopped her iron supplement and stopped feeding her carrots and bananas, which I read could cause constipation. She's eating lots of split peas and fruit, including plums and pear (all fresh, not jarred), which I read could...
