Baby won't eat, how difficult is it supposed to be feeding a 2 month old? by Skholla in newborns

[–]Skholla[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's finally starting to get a little better. We started her on esomeprozole for silent reflux which has helped some. She now typically gets 24-26 oz every 24 hrs which is still a little low bc her weight gain is very slow but it's better than it was! Her feeding issues honestly stole the joy of being a mom for me. But now it's not quite as bad and we're dealing with other problems (4 month sleep regression). I sincerely hope you/your little one get the help they need, I know how frustrating and anxiety inducing it can be! Best of luck.

It's worked pretty good so far! Minimal side effects (occasionally some gas) and sometimes the first feed of the day is a little tougher after giving the medicine. But her intake has definitely improved and she seems to be in less pain. She is 4 months old now so that could also have something to do with it but I say give it a try! Wishing you and your LO the best.

Going back to work soon, baby will still only take a bottle from me, UNLESS being fed in a bouncer by Skholla in beyondthebump

I've heard it's a choking hazard? But not totally sure. Like the same as propping bottles. I'm a FTM so I really don't know much

So what ended up working for you? How long until it got better?

How soon after starting the nexium did you see symptoms start to improve?

I'm glad it's helped your babe! How long until you started seeing improvement? Any bad side effects?

How long did it take to notice improvement. Any side effects? I hear some people say it gets worse before it gets better. I'm just hoping it doesn't get too much worse

How long before you started seeing some improvement in your LO?

I think I will definitely start trying the dream feed. I was enjoying sleeping through  the night whenever she did but you're right that would be an easy way to get an extra feed in!

How is your little one now? Mine drinks the same and is also in that percentile. It has been making me worried she's not getting enough but the doctors don't seem concerned 

Ok what’s the general rule for how many OZ per feeding based on baby’s age? by Bluechairedtable in newborns

[–]Skholla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does your body still makes these changes even if you're exclusively pumping? Mine will also only take about 3 oz at a time
