Just know you are not alone. There is no manual - it's trial and error. Things will get better even though it may not seem that way.CMBhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01369842243560050862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-664792502191237681.post-27181299152012447202008-09-16T07:25:02.314-04:002008-09-16T07:25:02.314-04:00I'm so sorry you had such a bad day. Can we blame it on the moon? I hope today is much better for you.<BR/><BR/>Have you tried inverting his crib mattress to help him withe reflux discomfort? <BR/><BR/>The bunny had reflux really bad too, to the point of medication as well. NO fun!

I'm sorry!!!<BR/><BR/>My friend Jessica's baby has had a terrible time with colic and gas, and she tried a probiotic powder that gets added to the formula she uses, which is of course a soy-based one because he wasn't tolerating the milk-based ones. I know he may have reflux, but maybe that would help him, too? I don't know if gas plays a role in reflux at all.<BR/><BR/>Does he scream all the time when he's feeding at home, too, or just when he's there? I think that you should try to keep him at the home care if at all possible, at least for a couple of weeks, to give everyone time to adjust. It's so hard to know what to do, I know. <BR/><BR/>Also, if Charlotte was going down this same road, even though he seems to be doing a little better, I think you should consider medication fairly soon. If it helps, it's worth it, and Charlotte seems to have come through using it with no ill effect.Astartehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07337583910910454897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-664792502191237681.post-5044598355291823412008-09-15T16:44:39.682-04:002008-09-15T16:44:39.682-04:00Thinking of you...Pocklockhttp://www.pocklock.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-664792502191237681.post-20960923915528953432008-09-15T15:52:03.608-04:002008-09-15T15:52:03.608-04:00I'm sorry.

Have you hit nutramigen yet? I hope the new formula works for you. It's the worst feeling when you don't know what to do for a baby. And, it's okay to admit weakness and when you are having a truly shitty day.Anglophile Football Fanatichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06802113205530180641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-664792502191237681.post-87264634512778991502008-09-15T14:18:29.399-04:002008-09-15T14:18:29.399-04:00hang in there - how long has he been going?

I can't imagine how hard that must be. My SIL dealt with this with her boy, and one of the things that helped him was to sleep in his carseat, nearly sitting up. I'm sure that you've been through all that, though, as you've been there with Charlotte. <BR/><BR/>Hope it all gets better for you soon - hang in there!bessie.violahttp://www.bessieviola.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-664792502191237681.post-91427836193701377832008-09-15T12:23:51.348-04:002008-09-15T12:23:51.348-04:00I had a kid with reflux and I know how hard it is. I didn't end up having to medicate her but SWEET JESUS she barfed a lot. It took her at least two weeks at daycare for our provider to not seem frustrated and for Renee to not be miserable at the end of the days. She did eventually adjust and now she's so happy there. I was ALMOST to the point of pulling her and quitting my job. You will do what is right...give it a set amount of time and make a change if it doesn't improve?<BR/><BR/>Hang in there.

These impossible decisions that we have to make for our children. And I'm sitting here writing this comment crying, because even though I only have one child to worry about right now, I'm having a day a little like yours. I cried all the way to work after dropping off Little Man, and I too am wondering if he's in the right place. I don't know, maybe in my case I'm being hormonal, you in your situation definitely have reasons to worry though. I hope Sawyer outgrows it really soon.<BR/><BR/>XOXOCatwomanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03940610487627745711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-664792502191237681.post-21005341436680974782008-09-15T11:58:15.992-04:002008-09-15T11:58:15.992-04:00I'm sorry you're having such a bad day.

There's nothing worse than worrying about your baby when you can't be with them. <BR/><BR/>I know you want to try medication as a last resort (and believe me, I'm the same way!), but if it makes him feel better and makes him happier, wouldn't it be worth it? It made such a difference with Punkin and our lives immediately got so much easier and she was able to eat without pain.<BR/><BR/>Hope things get better!!Madame Queenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05879021662076403965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-664792502191237681.post-25441161274247241962008-09-15T11:05:40.474-04:002008-09-15T11:05:40.474-04:00I'm so sorry that things aren't going well for Sawyer right now.
