Most babies are able to wean from meds around 6 months, but we're still going strong at almost a year. He slept in the Rock n Play for about 4 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/reflux-in-newborn#post-1204104 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 09:42:49 +0000 anbanan15 1204104@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS was like this from birth. Even the slightest bite off vertical made his reflux worse. We kept him upright as much as possible, which resulted in co-sleeping. We also baby wore him as often as we could. He was put on reflux meds which seemed to help in addition to the things above. I also eliminated foods from my jet that seemed to make things worse and for us nursing in the side lying position was the best and easiest way for us to nurse (he was a major back archer and had Sandifer's which resolved once the reflux was more under control). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/reflux-in-newborn#post-1204031 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 09:21:16 +0000 Smurfette 1204031@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>R had it. Around 3 weeks we started on medicine. I have another friend, who just started her 5 week old on it as well.</p> <p>RnP helped so much. Keep LO upright after eating for 20 mins. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/reflux-in-newborn#post-1204023 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 09:19:19 +0000 MamaMoose 1204023@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sounds like reflux to me. Get thee a rock n' play.</p> <p>I will say that medicine isn't always necessary. My doctor only prescibes meds if the baby is SUPER fussy or not gaining weight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/reflux-in-newborn#post-1204013 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 09:17:30 +0000 LuLu Mom 1204013@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, ours started right away. She had to sleep in a rock-n-play because she needed to be elevated, the bassinet was flat and caused her discomfort. Medicine is key, itw ill help your baby digest and stay out of pain! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/reflux-in-newborn#post-1204012 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 09:16:07 +0000 littlebug 1204012@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, sounds like reflux. D had it, too. We started him on Zantac around 5.5 weeks. He outgrew it around 6 months and we were able to stop the medication. Keep baby upright for 10-15 minutes after feeding, and take frequent burp breaks during feeds. And, of course, call your ped! Good luck! It's so sad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/reflux-in-newborn#post-1204003 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 09:13:06 +0000 blackbird 1204003@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had reflux, too. Medicine helped SO MUCH </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/reflux-in-newborn#post-1203750 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 03:37:51 +0000 erinpye 1203750@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Reflux can be (and is often) caused by tongue tie- please search tongue tie on here or read my previous posts about it. It's super common and causes so much stress, when it's a quick fix. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/reflux-in-newborn#post-1203709 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 02:32:12 +0000 AprilK 1203709@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is she fussy all the time or in the evening? Our 5 week old does the same thing just in the evening do I'm interested to see what your Ped says! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/reflux-in-newborn#post-1203700 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 01:54:11 +0000 Mrs. Polish 1203700@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It sounds like reflux to me too. My lo didn't lay flat until he was 6mo because of it and we still gets spit up often at 8mo. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/reflux-in-newborn#post-1203694 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 01:40:50 +0000 sometimesshesings 1203694@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sounds like reflux to me! </p> <p>Gripe water didn't help us much, either.</p> <p>My son slept in a Baby Bjorn Bouncer (inside his crib) until he was 8 months old. He napped in a swing until he was almost 9 months old. Sleeping at an angle made his reflux SO much better. </p> <p>The reflux made him spit up all the time, and even at 12 months, he occasionally spits up after a big meal or playing too hard. But he's mostly outgrown the problem at this point. </p> <p>Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/reflux-in-newborn#post-1203632 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 00:05:08 +0000 kjpugs 1203632@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Anyone have a newborn with reflux? E is 3 1/2 weeks and in the last week has developed major fussiness that isnt fully helped by gripe water. She's pretty gassy (lots of farts and a few spit ups that clearly made her feel better) but I've noticed she seems especially fussy at night when laying in her PNP, but when input her in her swing if she won't calm down, she is pretty much better. We noticed today too that she was fussing/crying when DH held her laying down positions but when he sat her up she was fine. I figure this could be reflux? I'm calling the ped tomorrow but wanted to see if anyone ha any experience and if this sounds like it. </p>
