Giving Infant a Solutab

Hello! I have a 2 part question. 1) My 5 week old has been diagnosed with GERD. She was put on Zantac which didn't work and then switched to Prevacet. The Prevacet is a solutab (tablet that dissolves into granules). I was told to dissolve the tablet in a very small amout of water and then give her the pill with a syringe dropper. My problem is that the medicine is hard to dispense that way and most of it ends up running down her chin or stuck in the dropper. Have any other mothers had to give their infant a solutab and what method...

Signs of Acid Reflux?????

My son just turned one month today. I think he may have some signs of acid reflux, but I'm not sure...we just changed his formula to Nutramigen. Does anyone have any experience with this? What are some signs I should look for? Any help would be appreciated! :)

Frequent Bowel Movements

I have an 8 month old baby girl who has had frequent, non-diarrhea bowel movements for a little over a week. She is breast fed and started solids approx 2 months ago. It seems completely unrelated to the start of a new food, I have not changed my diet either. She is having 5-6 a day. I talked to pedi about it and she isn't concerned unless watery. She is getting intermittently red now despite diligent diaper changes with Aquaphor. Any suggestions or feedback? Thanks!

4 1/2 Month Old Has Been Constipated Since Birth, Tried Just About Everything!

My son has had trouble w/ bowel movements since birth. I've been supplementing with formula since his first week (since my milk never fully came in). On his pediatrician's advice, we've tried milk-based formula, soy, apple juice, pear juice, milk of magnesium, nothing seems to help! Since we changed to soy last week, (again, on the Ped's advice) he's going more frequently, but his BM's are more painful now and even causing a little bleeding. He did really well on Good Start Natural Cultures for a while, then he started getting really...

Causes of Diarrhea

My son just turned one this month. He's awesome, walking and chatting away. However, we are going on 4 days of diarrhea. My poor kid. It started Saturday and shows no signs of letting up. I called his Ped. but since he does not have a fever, is not vomiting, and still has an appatite they said there is really nothing they can do it just has to run it coarse. I don't know what's causing it. Maybe he picked up a bacteria, maybe he's got some back teeth coming in, I dont' know. I've got him on a very bland diet and keeping him hydrated...

Acid Reflux and Gas

Hello! My six week daughter is not only suffering from acid reflux but really bad gas as well. Her pediatrician has prescribed her Pepcid twice daily and Mylanta four times daily until the Pepcid kicks in (about a week). Unfortunately, she has had a lot of gas the past week (which is sometimes foul-smelling). She used to latch on well during nursing but constantly unlatches due to gas or maybe even the acid... I don't know. Either way, it doesn't help her gassiness. I have heard that diet can cause gassines so I have been in the...

8 Month Old Spit Up

Has anyone else had a baby with a milk allergy? This is totally based off of internet research (I know - totally not reliable all the time) but it's the weekend and I'm at my breaking point! My little guy spits up 3 or 4 times after each feeding and in puddles each time (not just a little drool out the side of his mouth). He's had a red/bumpy rash all over his face for two months (we were told to use hydrocortizone cream and vaseline - neither of which have made it go away) and now a diaper rash that he's had for a few days now that is not...
