ive seen the peads here. The same one that told me to get over it and start her on solids months ago. I refuse to see anymore here. I told my GP this and he was shocked but said he can send me to a different on in Albury. Im sick of pis$ farting around. I have an appointment with him tomorrow at 11am so ill talk to him then. Might give the RCH a call and see what they say.
The soy formula is making Mia throw up this thick yellowish spew.. i should take her off it right???????????????????
shortest time i have given is a week.. and i wean her onto it slowly. Shes never been fussed with the change. Today she has drank 150 mls all day and shes throwing it up. She just wont drink it and she hasnt had any solids today (very busy day).
Do they recommend a certain time period for the changes? I wonder it it takes a certain time for their tummies to adjust?
I had success with goats milk formula, but it seems it answer isn't just in formula though. Hope you can get a referral for this soon, you can't go around wearing PVC 24/7.
i asked my doc about changing her to soy after a week on Karicare HA AR and he was fine with it. I know it doesnt seem the answer, but i need her to drink something. 150mls from 7am to 7pm isnt enough. Along with the spewing. If she doesnt get something into her shes going to end up in hospital so i dont feel like i have much choice.
I agree with the others if you have tried all of this stuff and still nothing then i would get her checked. Has she had a barrium meal test?
Also Just a quick story... My step dad lived with what he thought was GORD for 40 years and suddenly was convinced to get a check up and found he had a hiatus hernia. (not saying thats whats wrong) Just that without checking you can put up with this for a while and if there is a bigger issue OMG how bad would u feel if u didnt do everything to try to fix her up.
Lots of people have lazy sphincters.
Can i ask... What colour is the vomit?? is it chunky or just like milk?? How long after a feed does she throw up.
Also is she drinking ANYTHING? i would be worried about dehydration is she is only having such a small amount of milk.

Jess - the vomit is usually half digested.. so it gets to the stomach it seems. Its usually quite chunky looking and ranges from white to yellow. Has been like this since the day she was born.
test results back, everything seems ok in the LI factor and everything else he tested for. Next step is to see another pead in shepparton but they cant get me in till after June so I called the RCH in Melbourne and they seem quite concerned and want me to get a refferal to see them assap (will get one tomorrow at 10am) and they will try and rush it through. If they cant they want me to take her to melb anyway and go through emergency.
Will keep you all posted on what goes on.
Thanks for your kind words girls, u seriously dont know how much it means to me.
