Hello all! Just back from holidays! Will have to catch up on all the posts and come back for personals.
Dash went really well although his reflux flared up BIG time - he didn't keep anything down but we persisted with the 'reflux steps' and got through it.....he was happy chappy most of the time....I just washed all day he he. He still only takes 100-120mL at one time and that takes about an hour for him to take, but we go with it and don't push him. As he is getting bigger we are feeding more often as you can imagine.....soon all we will do with him is feed him when he is awake he he. Some days he drinks recommended amount but others he only drinks about 400mL for the whole day but we figure he is happy as he isn't asking for food and sleeps all night regardless of how he has fed for the day. Zantac and Gaviscon have now been increased with his weight.
Since the reflux is quite severe, we are starting (or trying) solids at 4 months as recommended by paed as there is a chance this well help the reflux - also a chance that it can make it worse and could even delay solids until about 8 months + old....we will soon find out when we start with rice cereal in a couple of weeks. We hope we are the 50% that see an improvement as this eventually feeding all day thing is not practical and we are missing out on 'Dash' time!!
Hope you all had a lovely Easter!!
BBL and talk soon, Linda
