My son that is 13 months old has severe reflux, laryngomalacia, tracheomalacia. He is on prevacid and using ellecare formula (allergic to milk and soy) we also thicken the formula still, and he does eat table food.

How long does it take for the babies to outgrow this? We are going to be on formula until at least 2 years old, and he is not sleeping through the night yet.

I don't want cut and pasted answers or medication advice (my son is already on the maxed out dose of prevacid and cannot take reglan he had a seizure when we tried it). We are also on a formula that cost 500-600 dollars monthly.

He basically is home because I have a better more stable job. He messed around in his twenties and didn't finish school so his job situations haven't been good at all. Now he complains because staying home with the baby is a lot of work. We take turns keeping her at night and I help out immediately when I get home from work. I know how much work a baby is because I stayed home with her for 5 months. (I just went back to work so he's been doing the stay at home dady thing for a month.)

What kind are you on? Has it affected the baby? How soon did you get on it after you delivered? Is it expensive?

Around 9 months, "they" say that babies gradually eat less formula and eat more solids. Our daughter seems like she is perfectly content with just formula and little tiny meals and snacks. She is 8 months now and she drinks about 35 ounces of formula a day and 3 meals and 2 snacks. Her meals consist of the equivalent of about 1/4 peice of toast or 3 grapes or up to 2 ounces of applesauce for example. Snacks are like 4 cheerios or the sort.
She spits out any food we try to put in her mouth as she wants to self feed, so she's not getting much.
Do you think that she will cut back on the amount of formula so that by a year she will have cut back to the 3 cups of milk with the solid meals and snacks?
Any suggestions?

My wife just had a our little girl and is really depressed about her post pregnancy stomach. Our little girl is only 3 wks old, so I told her it would take some time. How long will she be "bloated" and what should she do to minimize her pouch?

He was on gentlease and now is on alimentum. We had to move to a similac product and dr said to try it because there was not anything very similar to the gentlease product. He was put on gentlease because he was very colicky when he was born and now is so much better. We hate to switch formulas but if it will work we have to. Did ok today but noticed more spitting up than usual. This is his first day on it. Just curious if this is a normal thing to be happening?

I doubt it's the iron causing it as there is hardly any in it. Is it too soon to give her prune juice?

My 2 week old newborn has been on 3 different formulas since she was born.
First in the hospital she was given Enfamil with Iron......they discovered that she had a reflux and had us switch her to Enfamil Prosobee.......a week later she was still spitting up horribly and decided they wanted her to switch to Enfamil A.R. and she has been on that a week now.....
Dr. thinks that she might be mildly colic and have severe gas, plus she is not eating a whole lot and now they want to switch her again to Enfamil Gentlease.....

Does anyone have any opinions on this? As far as, should she be switching formulas this much and whether Gentlease works better than the A.R. formula.

Any help is appreciated.

My son has not been gaining weight so the ped told me to pump to make sure he's getting good amount... well I am nearly dried up and didn't realise (I am 3 1/2 months pregnant) btw, yes I am aware that they get more than you would from pumping. Anyhow, he drank the first bottle of formula without a problem and then the 2nd we had more trouble, the 3rd, he refused it completely! I would pump and do half breastmilk but I am bfing him before offering him the bottle (as per ped) and by the time he finishes he is crying because he's still hungry... no more breastmilk to pump. I need any advice please.
