He even cries in his sleep. :(</p> <p>@MsLipGloss: we have a regular pedi appointment scheduled for next week. I'll see what they say and I'll request something other than zantac if meds are recommended. Thanks!</p> <p>@Mrs Green Grass: he hates being burped and straightens himself and fights it. I'm guessing that would be considered arching?</p> <p>@Smurfette: the spitting never bothered me but now that he has this cough I'm beginning to wonder....</p> <p>@MrsH: oh nooooooo! C gets hoarse - I never thought of that being the reason! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-baby-had-reflux#post-1470355 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 15:27:00 +0000 MrsH 1470355@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ash: E would spit up up to three hours after we feed her or whenever we put her flat. She started getting wheezy and hoarse (acid brining her throat) she is on baby Zantac because of the wheezing and hoarseness. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-baby-had-reflux#post-1470250 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 15:05:36 +0000 Smurfette 1470250@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She would arch her back and was spitting up a ton. She was on Zantac 3 weeks till 6 months (or so). The spitting up didn't get better till 10.5 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-baby-had-reflux#post-1470106 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 14:38:06 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 1470106@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Arching is the biggest sign IMO. My lo had severe reflux. It seems to almost be better at 13 months, but he's still on Prevacid and has been for a long time. It helped IMMENSELY! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-baby-had-reflux#post-1470037 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 14:25:13 +0000 MsLipGloss 1470037@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. J: Zantac is so weight dependent . . . I would ask your Doc for Prilosec or Prevacid. It could really make a difference! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-baby-had-reflux#post-1470031 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 14:23:41 +0000 Mrs. J 1470031@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>J is on Zantac for reflux. I would say things were getting a little better, but we still give him gas drops/help him burp/fart before every feeding. He did meltdown again last night and the night before.</p> <p>He was gassy, spitting up, screaming/having difficulty eating etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-baby-had-reflux#post-1470025 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 14:21:59 +0000 MsLipGloss 1470025@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ash: Take your LO to a Ped GI Specialist. Seriously. Most regular Peds just push Zantac . . . *augh*</p> <p>My LO had reflux that ultimately was surgically corrected. Her only outward symptoms were occasional back arching/ popping on/off during feedings, and horrible sleep . . . she slept 45min-1hour 15 minutes tops, every night, before she would wake up to nurse briefly and then go back to sleep. I averaged 8-10 wakeups a night for 9 months. I wish I had seen a specialist sooner!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-baby-had-reflux#post-1470009 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 14:16:38 +0000 brownie 1470009@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ash: nutragimin is a good start but it isn't perfectly hypo allergenic. My son had to go into prescription neocate for his issues. So it could still be food related (but it doesn't have to be). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-baby-had-reflux#post-1469984 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 14:11:15 +0000 MrsF 1469984@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>M was on Nutramigen but after her MSPI was controlled I noticed that she would scream whenever she would reflux (either with or without spitting up). We put her on Zantac but that didn't help so we switched to Prilosec and the symptoms went away. I think she was off the Prilosec and doing fine without it by 9 months. </p> <p>@Ash: I would say that your LO doesn't need meds unless he seems like he is in pain. (although I guess the cough makes it questionable). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-baby-had-reflux#post-1469978 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 14:09:48 +0000 Crisark 1469978@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A was exactly like what you are describing.<br /> She had a cough that didn't seem to make sense, she was terribly fussy after/during feedings, she arched her back.<br /> We switched her to Similac Sensitive Ready to Feed formula and 1ml of Zantac twice a day and she was a new baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-baby-had-reflux#post-1469949 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 14:04:29 +0000 Ash 1469949@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@brownie: ds is on nutramigen for other issues already. I hope your son starts feeling better! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-baby-had-reflux#post-1469944 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 14:03:31 +0000 LuLu Mom 1469944@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter had severe acid reflux, we were on Prilosec for the first 14 months, we had several tests done as well. She would spit up constantly ad always had a cough (right before the spit up happened.) We could hear the gurgle in her throat too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-baby-had-reflux#post-1469924 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 13:58:33 +0000 brownie 1469924@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son had reflux as a symptom of milk and soy intolerance. He never actually spit up he mostly just screamed constantly. We did zantac which worked for 3 weeks and prilosec for almost 6 months. Ultimately we didn't fix the issue until we fixed his diet.</p> <p>He now has reflux symptoms at almost 3 years old. I suspect he is intolerant to something else right now. But he has that cough (the one your are describing) and occasionally vomits from it. Oh the joys. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-baby-had-reflux#post-1469856 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 13:48:00 +0000 Ash 1469856@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Was he/she on meds for it and what were the symptoms? </p> <p>Lo spits up a lot and arches when we try to burp him and now he has a cough that isn't respiratory related. Reflux? Do we need meds?</p> <p>I should add... The spit up ranges from clear, fresh formula and curdled. </p>
