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...

Babies with Acid Reflux?

How do you know if your baby has acid reflux or not? I am a new mom and my daugher is two and a half months old and she is constantly spitting up.

Infant Having Constant Burp Attacks

My 7 week old is suffering from a normal thing like having constant burps from feedings. every time i nurse her i burp every few minutes to reduce her from having air bubbles, but she seems to be always fussy from them, falls asleep and few min later wakes up, crying most of the day and when i pick her up again, she burps. i feel that its none stop routine all day long - trying to burp my baby! i know they all have those this early on, but i don't remember my first one constantly having this issue. maybe its the way she's sucking,...

Tips for Constipated Infant?

Hi Mamas, My 6 week old is gassy and constipated. I have tried everything the pediatrician has asked me to do. Today they tell me to "just keep doing what you are doing" which is not working. At their suggestion, I have been putting corn syrup in a bottle 1X/day and used rectal thermometer w/ petroleum jelly, warm washcloth on belly too. He is exclusively breastfed, eats well and is gaining weight. He has not had a BM since Tuesday and this has been going on for three weeks. He has one to two BM's a week and doc tells me this is normal. ...

Playtex Drop Ins

Anyone out there use playtex drop ins? How do you feel about them? I am considering trying them for baby #2 thinking that it will be less cleaning of bottles (hubby is not much help!). I will likely use a few different brands of bottles (like dr browns and avent in past.) If you have used them, can you mix the formula and water in the pouch itself or do you have to premix the formula then put it in the pouch? Just curious, thanks!
