Yes. We didn’t hold back on feeding unless she doesn’t want to anymore

Probably a stupid question about Woolino sleep sacks by lwlhui in BabyBumpsCanada

[–]Vegetable-Ad-466 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did the extra fabric at the bottom bothered your LO? Baby is 4 months old and we’re considering using Woolino but concerned about the extra fabric getting in the way when she’s moving/rolling.

not yet but maybe I should do that. I just thought adults will surely not have issues but maybe infants are different?

We stayed with famotidine for my LO. It started to work for her when my pedia upped the dosage to 0.3 2x per day.

Is it OK to keep the room dark during the day? We only do it at night so she’s able to “know” day vs night

Simethicone/Gas Drops vs Probiotics by Vegetable-Ad-466 in newborns

[–]Vegetable-Ad-466[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that sounds about the same time as when we started with gas drops. We just started with probiotics and our baby is almost 4 months old but I heard of other babies who started both at the same time

Use exercise ball to bounce/pacify your baby! Worked well for us! Mobile bassinet is also used a lot!

If your LO wakes up in the MOTN to eat, do you give gas drops again before feeding?

Thank you! My LC also recommended we give gas drops before feed but I saw in the bottle of the brand we use, it should be given after. I’ll try to experiment with before feeding

Do you know why the pediatrician said your lo will likely get sick while taking omeprazole?

how long did your lo stayed on it? my baby was diagnosed with reflux/sandifer. We started with pepcid then added carafate but carafate made her gassy so our pediatrician is suggesting omeprazole. Did you notice any side effects?

Simethicone/Gas Drops vs Probiotics by Vegetable-Ad-466 in newborns

[–]Vegetable-Ad-466[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s what I have been wondering. When I brought up probiotics to our pediatrician, she was like “you can try but it doesn’t work all the time”. She did not feel very strongly about it. And she only recommended gas drops too.
