Question by Erick: Help! 7 Weeks and Dr states Baby has reflux and change formula.?
Our boy was doing good on Enfamil new born. He was drinking 3-4 oz per feeding; when we went to the Dr office for the our child 1 month check up. She asked us? how was everything going…. So we told her exactly what we have seen in a matter of a month. Which was? At times the baby gets fuzzy and that sometimes he arcs his back after feeding . And automatically? She said! Acid reflux. Ok! So we roll with it and we started on his medication she prescribe to us (nizatidine) and also told us to bring in to the office 3 Poppy diapers. Which we did… And when she called us with the results she stated that she found traces of blood in his poop that means that he allergic to the cow protein which she states that is totally normal. So not only? the Dr give us meds for his acid reflux for our child she also made us change his formula to Enfamil Lipil Nutramigen with Enflora.

4 Days in, and the baby was allot more fussy and was crying like if something was killing him and was only drinking 2 ½ oz no more. It wasn’t your normal crying it was something totally different so we knew something was wrong. It mostly happen when he was trying to take a poop and the way he cries it sounds like it was burning him. This all started when we started to give him the formula she advise to put him on. So we had to make a decision and we went to Similac Sensitive because we did not want to feed him anymore of the formula the Dr order us to put him in.

Curing Acid Reflux in Children and Infants

The spitting up and throwing up of food particles is a common thing that every mother must be accustomed to. Acid reflux is a condition wherein the lower esophageal sphincter fails to function properly. Under the normal circumstances , the lower esophageal sphincter , which acts like a valve between the esophagus and the stomach , closes tightly after allowing the food into the stomach. Thus , under no circumstances can the food re-enter the esophagus. Acid reflux is caused when the lower esophageal sphincter is not able to prevent the backflow of the acidic stomach content into the esophagus. The acidic content causes irritation in the esophagus and this is termed as acid reflux.

One of the main reasons for acid reflux in infants and children is that the digestion system is not developed and hence it leads to occurrence of acid reflux. Hence it is recommended not to overfeed infants. Normally, doctor’s advice should be sought before deciding upon the feeding quantity. For infants and children suffering from acid reflux, it is recommended that the feeding quantity should be reduced corresponding with an increase in the frequency of the feeding. One can also try to change the schedule of feeding the infant. Again the doctor should be consulted before changing the schedule. Both these suggestions can be useful to control acidity.

I have a 3 1/2 month old that has acid reflux. His spitting up has gotten much worse in the last week. I have been to the Doctor and they just tell me that “babies spit up,” I would be ok with that diagnosis if my normally happy, smiley baby weren’t so miserable, arching his back and grunting while taking a bottle. We have started probiotics in hopes that something more natural will calm the stomach. He has now spit up bright yellow a couple of times and I am concerned, does anyone have any suggestions? The Dr. gave up a prescription for Prevacid which is not approved in children under the age of one and not recomended by our pharmasists? I am at a loss but not willing to settle on him being so uncomfortable. Thanks ahead of time for any advice!
