All About GERD

Since my baby was borned she had reflux and i never gave her medicine neither cereal but i kept in 45 degrees after each meal for 30 minutes and she got better but it took a while, now she is 9 months and she does not spit up but at night she does not sleep well and i think she still has pain because she has a lot of has so the doctor gave me zantac and i hope that will work now.

We went through the same thing finally got to #12 formula simliac allumentium so maybe try this it was the only that helped & with the zantac He still would spit up a lil but not as much When he was 11mths old we took him off of formula & he didnt need his medicine anymore Now my son is 16mths old & his only acts up when he gets tooo upset or happy or if he has something hard on the system Good luck

my daughter is 4 months now and we have tried every baby formula there is...none of them helped and the soy broke her out. we even tried regular milk. her daughter just prescribed her zantac so we are hoping that that works out great. she is having a lot of congestion problems. we use the humidifier and the little noses nasal spray but it's only a temporary fix. is there another answer out there because we are starting to get very frustrated....

My six week old was just diagnosed with acid reflux and was given zantac as well, but her doctor also changed her formula to soy to help with the reflux on top of the medicine. I tried the soy and she started having some skin reaction instantly so we change back to her old formula. Gosh i hope the medicine helps.

Hey AHiller17--I talked to my doctor today about it--because my 2 week old has been having issues w/ spitting up and throwing up. My mom has acid reflux--that's why I called the doctor in the first place. They told me that the medicine would not keep him from spitting/throwing up--but it will neutralize the acid that's causing the pain--which is what you really want anyway. Hope that helps!
