Help! Screaming Baby! What to Eat When Nursing?

I'm dyin' here! My six-week-old is on Zantac for reflux, but she still cries...and cries and cries. For up to an hour and a half (usually right after I feed her.) I'm nursing exclusively - no formula. I give her Mylicon for gas, Maalox for indigestion. Nothing seems to be working. I can hear her little tummy creaking and groaning and can actually feel it when I'm holding her. I'm afraid to let her "cry it out" in her crib because it seems to hurt her worse when she's lying flat. People have told me what not to eat while I'm...

Diaper Rash and Table Food

My 10 month old has been eating table food and breast milk now for over a month and has had a persistent diaper rash ever since changing from baby food. Could there be a correlation between these two things? As long as I keep original Desitin on her she does fine. But if she misses the Desitin only once and she has a messy diaper, the rash comes back with vengeance - raw, red, and bleeding. Has anyone else dealt with this and what did you do? Help! She is screaming so often with messy diapers and during her diaper changes and I'm sick...

Reflux, Cereal, Constipation, Sleep and Twins...warning: a Little Long!

My 4 1/2 mo old twins were just diagnosed with reflux. The Dr recommended we start them on rice cereal 2/day to help (among other things). It has seemed to help Micah, but it just makes Noah constipated (he is normally 1-2/day regular and has gone 4 days, then 5 and SCREAMS every times he passes gas...including in the middle of the night) We have switched to Oatmeal and tried mixing prunes with the cereal...still same problems. I feel like I have traded one problem for the other....Any suggestions? Next....at 2 1/2 mo my boys were...

Evening Feeding Out of Control......

So I am about to lose it...My daughter Emma is almost 2 months old, we have started maintaining a routine for a couple of weeks now. However she is about to drive me crazy at bedtime.

How to soothe indigestion during pregnancy?

I am 34 weeks and have had a lot of indigestion. I have been using Maalox but it hasn't been working all that much anymore. I have been drinking sprites which used to work but sometimes it doesn't. Does anyone have an remedies? I usually drink water through the day and a little at night. I will even get hearburn when I eat oatmeal so I don't know what to do at this point. I never really had these problems with the first child but this second one has given me so many issues.

Need Advice on "Fussy" Feeding...

I have a 3 weeks old son. Lately he has been extremly fussy during feedings. I am breastfeeding him. I know I am producing enough milk. I pumped today and bottle feed him and he was satisfied with the amount...still fussy during the feeding though. He has also been extremly gassy too. It's to the point it can take me up to 2 hours after feedings to get him settled and then I have to start all over again. I have started to give him mylicon drops with each feeding and they help with him burping but don't seem to do any more than that. ...
