Does My Baby Have Reflux?

My 9 1/2 week old son is incredibly fussy about 1 1/2-2 hours after eating. He is on Enfamil Lipil; he is great initially after eating, but then he'll begin to cry within 2 hours. Its not so bad early in the day; I can usually calm him or we'll go out and he will just fall asleep and be fine. By 3 or 4 in the afternoon he will wail and it continues until after 8 pm. Once he goes to bed for the night he sleeps well. Is this colic or am I maybe dealing with reflux? I tried switching bottles and don't really want to change formula unless...

Dairy Vs. ?

Hi Moms- I hope someone can help. My 4 1/2 year old son is allergic to milk. We didn't discover this until a few months ago. He had a tiny bit of blood when he'd wipe his bottom. Pediatrician said milk allergies show themselves that way in some kids. Stopped the cow's milk and blood stopped appearing. Now I have a soon to be weaned 16 month old. I don't want to find out 3 years down the road that she has a milk allergy. Question is, what do I give her while she still needs that calcium? I am giving my son Rice Milk, but I don't know if...

Baby Physically Can't Seem to Poop

My 5 month old son is exclusively breastfed. I know that breastfed babies can go for a week without pooping, but my child is very uncomfortable and gassy by the third day without a bm. It starts to affect his daytime and nighttime sleep. Last night was horrendous. I mistook the problem (stupidly) last night for teething, but today I put the pieces of the puzzle together and finally I gave in and used the old thermometer trick to get him to poop. It did work as it always does. It seems like every four days I'm having to "take his...

Any Moms with Babies on Enfamil Nutramigen?

Hi there, I have a 5.5 month old son who was put on nutramigen because of horrendous belly pain. We noticed immediate relief once we started him on it and I am so thankful. I was wondering if anyone else used this with there babies and if so, when did you try to wean them off it? did you ever try regular formula? He is now eating certain stage 1 baby foods without any issues and i have to wonder if he has outgrown his belly problems. Any advice would be great! Thanks!

How Do I Get My Daughter to Drink Nutramigen?

Hi all, My daughter has many food intolerances and I have been given Enfamil Nutramigen by the doctor for her to drink. The issue is, she will not drink it because it apparantly tastes really bad! It's fine for now as I'm still breastfeeding, but I really wanted to begin weaning her since I have to restrict my diet so much and it's hard (and it's been 7 months, so I'm pretty sick of the no dairy or soy diet). Does anyone have any suggestions about how I can get her to drink it? Any experiece with this formula? Is there a way to make...

Toddler Version of Nutramigen?

Is there a "toddler formula" like Nutramigen? My 14 old son cannot tolerate cow's milk, lactose free cow's milk, goat's milk, soy milk, or almond milk. I have not tried rice milk or coconut milk. I have tried different formulas. The only thing I found that he could drink was Nutramigen. I am currently getting this on WIC even though he is over a year old. I was wondering if there was a toddler version of Nutramigen that I could try switching him to? Is it ok that he is still drinking Nutramigen? His pediatrician keeps saying we need to...

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...

My Infant Has Major "Gunk" Again, What Can I Do?

Hello Moms! Ok, I am sure I am not the only child with this problem- especially since we live in the dfw area. It has gone from 80 degrees to 20 degrees in one week and all three of my kiddos are "gunkie". Now, my 7 and 4 year old I can give over the counter meds to help them manage. But our 9 month old can not take that. I am constantly using the bulbed nose "thing"- sucking out what we can (how he loves that- NOT). I use saline spray, I use a vicks, I use a steamer in his room with the vicks in it. I have placed a boiling pot of...
