br: acid reflux
I am going to make an appt for monday for cate but she is appearing to have really bad acid reflux. Severe arching during and after feedings, horrible time burping, just plain discomfort. Is there anything i can do for her until the appt? And why does this stuff come up on a friday night...grrr!
Warning
No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml
Re: br: acid reflux
Can you get in tomorrow? The Beaverdale office of Des Moines Pediatrics has Saturday hours.
Just try to keep her as upright as possible, especially after feedings. Maybe try some gas drops, too?
Ditto to PPs...if you are BFing, try cutting out dairy/caffeine from your diet.
Keep your LO upright for at least 30 minutes after every feeding.
Give smaller, more frequent feedings. Burp more frequently, approximately every 1-2 oz.
Be careful not to fasten diapers too tightly. Pressure on a LOs stomach can exacerbate reflux. This includes tight waistbands on pants.
ETA: If she is having trouble at night, go out any buy a Rock and Play Sleeper. It's $40, but worth it's weight in gold for a reflux baby.
