My 7 Month Old Throws up like an Adult!

My daugher is almost 7 months old. Since January she has had 3 spells where she throws up like an adult. It's really scary because it's either immediately after she eats or when she's sleeping. She did it once when she was on her back and I thought she was going to drown in it. She also gets crazy fevers with it and has had a runny nose since she was born. The ER just tells me to give her pedialyte, but I don't think that is an answer. I understand babies get sick but this is out of control. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what...

Bottles to Relieve Gas?

Hello, I am thinking of trying some different bottles to relieve what I think is gas in my 1 month old. We are currently using the Playtex bottles with the drop in liners. She seems to be taking in a lot of air when eating. She has been on these bottles for the last 2 weeks. She has tongue issues and had lots of difficulty latching to the breast so we decided to switch to the bottle. She burps half way during feedings and is a big "tooter". But I still think the intake of air is causing her to have even more gas. My 2 year old...

My 5 Month Old Is Always Constipated!?!?!?!?

My son has been constipated since he was about 1 month old. He is now going on six months and nothing has changed. He will go four or five days without having a bowel movement and sometimes even more like six or seven days... (his longest record was nine days!!!) I have talked to his doctor several times about it and he seems to think that because i'm breast feeding my milk must be so pure that there isn't alot left over to digest and that things would change when he started eating foods. Well I started him on baby food (rice cereal, squash...

Any Moms with Babies on Enfamil Nutramigen?

Hi there, I have a 5.5 month old son who was put on nutramigen because of horrendous belly pain. We noticed immediate relief once we started him on it and I am so thankful. I was wondering if anyone else used this with there babies and if so, when did you try to wean them off it? did you ever try regular formula? He is now eating certain stage 1 baby foods without any issues and i have to wonder if he has outgrown his belly problems. Any advice would be great! Thanks!

Constipation with My 18 Month Old

My 18 month old has had problems with constipation her entire life of 18 months :) We have tried everything and nothing is working. We have done apple juice, pear juice, straight prune juice, glycerin supp., baby enimas, and now we are on myralax everyday. The laxative seemed to have worked for awhile and we even ended up in Children's Hospital because we didn't go poop for a week. My ped. just says this is ok and will be fine for her to take the lax. for the rest of her life if needed...but momma thinks different. I don't think she should...

How Do I Get My Daughter to Drink Nutramigen?

Hi all, My daughter has many food intolerances and I have been given Enfamil Nutramigen by the doctor for her to drink. The issue is, she will not drink it because it apparantly tastes really bad! It's fine for now as I'm still breastfeeding, but I really wanted to begin weaning her since I have to restrict my diet so much and it's hard (and it's been 7 months, so I'm pretty sick of the no dairy or soy diet). Does anyone have any suggestions about how I can get her to drink it? Any experiece with this formula? Is there a way to make...

Toddler Version of Nutramigen?

Is there a "toddler formula" like Nutramigen? My 14 old son cannot tolerate cow's milk, lactose free cow's milk, goat's milk, soy milk, or almond milk. I have not tried rice milk or coconut milk. I have tried different formulas. The only thing I found that he could drink was Nutramigen. I am currently getting this on WIC even though he is over a year old. I was wondering if there was a toddler version of Nutramigen that I could try switching him to? Is it ok that he is still drinking Nutramigen? His pediatrician keeps saying we need to...

3 Month Old Son Acting Strange

Hi all! This is kinda long, but I think the back story might help you to understand. I have a 3 month old son, and from the beginning he was a very good schedule baby. He was born 5 weeks early, at 4 lbs, but hasn't really shown any signs of being delayed. Becuase he was early, though, the hospital started him on a supplemental formula. He seemed to take it ok. By the time he was about a month and a half, he was almost completely to breast feeding, and would only take a bottle at night to get him to sleep. Then I had an emergency...
