  • Ts and Ps for all 3 of you!  Don't know if this makes you feel any better but when I worked at the childrens hospital here in Dallas we had lots of babies admitted with "failure to thrive" and almost all of them were super easy to fix if they needed to be fixed at all!  So, even if there is a problem (which I hope there isn't) she'll be fine!

  • Aww!  Poor Carly.  R needs rice in every single bottle of his for spitting up.  It has helped a whole lot.  Hope you guys find a solution for Carly.

  • Spitting up and lack of weight gain?  That sounds like Amelia her first six weeks.  Is Carly a messy eater?  As in it seems like she can't keep up with the flow from the bottle?

  • Man...JJ was the same way, too, but we didn't have any procedures done to correct it. We changed formulas and bottles, and that helped a lot. Hope you guys get some answers!

    Nope, not a messy eater. On average, she nurses 4x a day and gets a bottle of formula 1x a day.

    She gained weight and did really good from birth - 2 months. Not sure what happend after that...

    And thanks everyone, it helps.

    Good to know. Did they do tests on him? How early did it start?

    My pedi was going to send us to a GI, but said to try the rice in his bottle first because that was probably going to be what he told us to do first anyhow.  It ended up working and saved us a trip.  I wanna say too I read somewhere online that babies peak spitting up at 4 months.  I could be totally wrong and I don't know how good of a site it was that I read this on.  The only difference is R was gaining weight-not a ton, but was going up.  He was eating a lot at that time though so that could be the difference.

  • Just throwing this out there, but one of Margot's most prominent food sensitivity symptoms was tons of spitting up. Another pretty common symptom is not gaining weight because it's hard to or they just can't digest the allergen food(s) properly. If it is that, the cure is a diet change on Mama's part - usually starting with cutting out dairy and soy.

    Of course, I know it could be tons of other things too and I really hope it's not that and that it's something super easy to fix!! I'm glad she's going to the GI though to get checked out :)

    Thanks. So just the rice helped? He didnt need meds?

    No meds just rice and we didn't do any testing. I spoon fed him rice for a couple days and now we stopped because he gets it in every single bottle. I also noticed he is spitting up even less now that he is eating fruits. He is loving food! Carly will be fine. If she isn't in pain wouldn't think she was a reflux baby. I would either think it's an allergy or she needs rice in her bottle.
