As you all know..Kyson has reflux. It is one battle that I can not wait until it is over. They can outgrow it somewhere between 6-12 months old. He is just around the corner of being 6 months old so I hope it starts to go away. I have decided that I don't really like the specialist he is seeing. Maybe I am just being impetient or I have this motherly vibe telling me that the meds he is giving my child aren't right. I don't know. I have been on the computer researching like crazy because I just have something telling me that it may be to much or its not the right kind. The first day I gave Kyson his second type of meds..he was NOT happy. So I read online articles. Nothing. Then I went to Baby Center and found other women with children who have reflux. They said that Reglan can cause mood swings. Nice. So I stopped it for a couple days to see if that was it. Kyson got better. But not his symptoms. So two days later I gave it to him again. This time BEFORE his meals. Thats right. The doctor never told me to do that. The ladies on the board suggested it. They also sugggested to put him on a hyperallergenic formula because SOY can cause constipation and with reflux, milk..wheat and eggs can cause the heartburn or stomach problems. What a handful right? After talking with most of these women I have learned that I have a low grade kind to deal with. Kyson is what you call a
silent refluxer. He doesn't spit up as often as most. So he goes back to the doctor in two weeks. This time his Pediatritian. Which I trust her more. I would ask the specialist questions and he wouldn't know the answers! It wasn't his area. Ok...my thinking. IF breastmilk can cause reflux to flare up. SHOULDN'T HE KNOW SOMETHING ABOUT IT! Grr.
