Keep Us In Your Thoughts

CristalBelle Posts: 1,389 Joined: 2003/06/27	2009/04/08, 12:24 PM Just a note to keep us in your thoughts. Sydney went and had an abdominal ultrasound today to try and rule out Pryloric Stenosis as the cause of her problems. We should have the results on Friday, so be praying that it comes back fine, and they tell us she just has GERD!

Right away she said it was classic symptoms of infant GERD, and that we have been doing everything right so far(feeding with her propped, keeping her propped afterwards, and elevating the head of her bassinet, lots of burping ect.) and since she was still miserable to go see a Gastrointerology Specialist to get a prescription for an antacid that will work for her. She also told us to try putting rice cereal in Sydneys bottle(it helps keep the formula from coming back up into the esophegus**sp**). Low and behold, I have a different child. We put 1tbs of cereal in a 5oz bottle with a stage 2 nipple, and my baby is eating 3-4.5oz(thats A LOT for her) and...wait for it....sleeping. During the day. With minimal fussing compared to before. She is still doing some coughing/gagging, but not near as much as before. Thank God!!
