Coughing and Gaging

When my daughter was born, we were told in the hospital that she had an overactive gag reflex. I have had the same problem all of my life and her pediatrician has said that it was nothing to worry about. My daughter is now 2 months old, and she fusses and coughs during every bottle. This has just started in the last 2 weeks. It seems to have gotten worse over the past couple of days. My daughter has always been good about taking her bottle, but now she leaves at least 2 ounces. Last night it seemed like she had something hung in her...

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...

Baby with Rash and Cold Symptoms

My 8-month old daughter just started day care this week, and after four days, we're already experiencing some signs of sickness. She's had a red rash on her cheek for the last few days, and I've been using hydrocortison on it. Along with that, yesterday and today her nose is running like crazy and this morning she's got a bit of a dry hacking cough. I called our ped, and the nurse said not to worry if there's no fever and she's eating normally. I have two questions: Any ideas on what could be causing the rash? (Dr said it's...

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...

Hand, Foot & Mouth Disease

My 2 1/2 year old has come down with Hand Foot & Mouth Disease (similar to chickenpox but not itchy). Most likely picked it up from daycare. The doctor said to only give him Motrin or Tylenol for pain. Since it is a virus, there are no antibotics to give him. I bought Aveeno soothing bath and some Aveen cream to make him feel comfortable. Has anyone else's children has the same disease?? Doctor said this is common in young children and goes away in 10 days.

Best Diaper Rash Cream and Baby Wipes?

My 17 mo. old developed a diaper rash yesterday. He rarely gets a rash, but when he does, they're bad. He usually onlt gets a rash if he has diarrhea, which he doesn't have now. His bottom is red, and there are spots that are starting to get raw, but no bumps. He screams in pain every time I change his diaper. I bought some wipes for sensitive skin, but they don't seem to be any different than the regular wipes. I tried Beudreaux's Butt Paste yesterday and it seemed to make it worse (he couldn't even sit down). I used A&D ointment...
