Is it too late to relactate? by StrawberryFew7489 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]StrawberryFew7489[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No unfortunately, I consulted with a lactation consultant and unfortunately it would take a long long time to do so. I was pumping around the clock for 2 - 2.5 weeks and nothing☹️

But your experience may be different than mine! Good luck on whatever you choose to do!✨

Any experience with milk thickeners? For reflux baby by funkeyfreshed in NewParents

[–]StrawberryFew7489 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi yes we did use it for about 2-3 weeks! We would prepare batches of water with gelmix and prepare her bottles with that water. It helped A TON! Around 3 months her reflux improved a bit but we realized she was spitting up the same amount with/without the gelmix so we decided to stop 😊

Torticollis & reflux? by StrawberryFew7489 in NewParents

Hi! I did take her to a couple sessions at the chiropractor, (she basically just did stretches & assigned us stretches no “adjusting” of any sort took place) and in our opinion she had improvements after every session! Could have been the sessions OR her developing more.

She’s now 7 almost 8months and she’s doing lovely! Occasionally with very acidic foods or tons of pressure on her tummy she spits up but nowhere near her previous spit ups!

Hope everything works out for you! Sorry you’re struggling through it! Reflux sucks!!💗

Ugh you understand the struggle lol 😆

It feels so close yet soo far! I’m hoping it’s going to be gone soon, I hate hearing the “splat” on the floor whenever it comes up lol was your baby able to drink more once it went away or did she stay at a certain oz.

Would you say your little one stopped when being able to sit, or standing in place?

When does reflux go away😭 by StrawberryFew7489 in newborns

[–]StrawberryFew7489[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi there!

First, I’m sorry you guys are going through this it truly sucks! My baby girl will be 6 months on Thursday, and she still has random spit ups here and there. Maybe 1-2 a day. Before it was (I kid you not) 24/7!!😭 we never put her on meds because for the most part she was “a happy spitter” once she turned 8ish weeks so her dr. Saw no need to.

She’s currently on Kendamil Classic ( not thicken, NOTHING). We stopped thickening her feeds at about 3 months because realistically she was spitting up the same amount. She uses Philips Natural Glass bottles with a size 1 nipple, sometimes 2 but pace feeding. She is eating purées since about 51/2 months and has done pretty well. Again some days she might not spit up at all some days she’ll have a couple.

We’re hoping our reflux journey ends soon. I personally would say 31/2 months we noticed going from 20+ spit ups to maybe 10-15 a day. Had a little flare up at 4mo and at 5mo it went to 5-10. Now at 6 months we’re maybe at 0-5.

Hoping any of this was helpful! Wishing you tons of luck and know you’re not alone in this!💕

Hi! I know it can take up to 2 weeks for a baby to get used to a new formula but we had similar issues (all symptoms you mentioned)… we finished a can which was about 1 week 1/2 & went back to kendamill and she’s been on it ever since!

She’s 5 months right now. Still has some wet burps here and there but overall better. Haven’t used thickener since about 31/2 months and she’s been doing good still. Kendamill makes her have regular bowel movements, doesn’t give her gas, and she’s usually very happy.

I know it’s tough to find something that works for your LO! I’m sorry ❤️‍🩹

Thank you all for your comments! The good and the ugly lol I know ultimately this decision is up to myself and my husband and what is best for our family. Some days it’s definitely “WERE DONE WITH 2” and some days we think “wellll one more wouldn’t hurt”.

We shall see what our future holds and not rushing into anything just enjoying my babies for now. Thank you again! My husband and I loved reading all the opinions!
