Acid Reflux
Well baby girl's acid reflux went out of control about 2 weeks ago. We thought it was under control but as we all know babies get bigger and dosages may need to change. We upped the Previcid to 1ml instead of .5ml. That helped a little but she was still spitting up 2 oz every feeding. So, I called the Dr. again. She suggested that we put 1tbsp of rice cereal per 4oz of formula and change her bottles. I started with the rice cereal and then bought new bottles to try out. Turns out everything we are doing is helping her and she appears to be better for now. I got the Platex bottles that have the drop in baggie instead of the Dr. Browns. It is funny when Eli was a baby I started with the vent air bottles and those did not work for him, switched to the Avent ones because my nephew was on those with still no luck. Then, I tried the Platex drop ins for him too and well nope not happening.....he ended up with the Dr. Browns so naturally I thought snuggle bug would be good with those because they are for babies with acid reflux. Nope...she needed something totally different. My brother and I were that way too so it's not too odd. I am just happy we got it under control...I hate the spitting up and her little cry. Oh and today she threw herself a good little drama fit why you ask? Well.....she's teething and needed some relief. God bless her lil heart.
