(That's a very non-scientific explanation, but you know what I mean. Ha!)</p> <p>I'd just keep an eye on it. You'll know if it starts bothering/hurting her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/happy-reflux#post-2212074 Thu, 18 Jun 2015 10:39:52 +0000 Banana330 2212074@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My doc just said my 2 month old likely has reflux and if she's happy and gaining well we would just leave her. She said they improve as they get older too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/happy-reflux#post-2211904 Thu, 18 Jun 2015 08:47:27 +0000 LuLu Mom 2211904@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SeptMomma12: I have had 2 reflux babies, I would say if they are happy and showing no signs of pain skip the meds. It's actually been proven that medicine only works 50% of the cases anyway, so if the doc doesn't think you need it and your baby is content I would stick with it. And IF it gets worse and baby shows signs of pain then call it in, it's as easy as that. </p> <p>I literally just got off the phone with the nurse's line to switch my baby's reflux medicine because it's getting worse, although she's a happy refluxer she has severe spit up and I'm concerned about lack of weight gain which was a major issue with LO1 (like she did not double birth weight until she was over 1 year old...) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/happy-reflux#post-2211874 Thu, 18 Jun 2015 08:26:24 +0000 SeptMomma12 2211874@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yellowbird: I've heard good things about Prevacid from friends. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/happy-reflux#post-2211863 Thu, 18 Jun 2015 08:13:25 +0000 yellowbird 2211863@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SeptMomma12: not really, because it's not actually helping anyway. I don't think it would have made a difference. I'm trying to get another medication for him now </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/happy-reflux#post-2211859 Thu, 18 Jun 2015 08:08:06 +0000 SeptMomma12 2211859@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yellowbird: That's kinda what I'm afraid of. Do you wish you had started the Zantac sooner? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/happy-reflux#post-2211856 Thu, 18 Jun 2015 08:01:27 +0000 yellowbird 2211856@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My baby was a happy reflux baby in the beginning, then around 9 weeks he started getting miserable. We started Zantac then. We're still struggling at 11 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/happy-reflux#post-2211853 Thu, 18 Jun 2015 08:00:17 +0000 SeptMomma12 2211853@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had LO's one month appointment yesterday and when I mentioned what I'm noticing (lots of spit up, occasional vomiting, wet burps, hiccups, gagging, etc.), the doctor said LO is a classic case of reflux. But since she's gaining weight and generally a very content baby - sleeps well and doesn't cry much - there's no need to medicate. I'm happy not to medicate, especially because LO is already on long-term antibiotics for a kidney problem, but I'm concerned that she might be uncomfortable and we're not doing anything about it. Anyone else have a "happy reflux" baby? Did you medicate? </p>
