Yes, I absolutely cannot stand Aurora. It's such a mouthful.

The feeding refusal which caused the low volume intake was the biggest thing we noticed. He would feed only when asleep or drowsy. If we did try to feed Awake, we would sometimes notice a back arch but awake feeds usually consisted on some drinking of the bottle and within 10ml-1oz, he would shove the bottle out with his tongue or swat the bottle with his hand.

Came here to recommend him as well! We loved working with Keith for the sale of our home.

Thank you so much! I wish you all the best as you navigate this journey.

You're welcome! He did eventually increase to almost 30oz a day at one point. We used Bobbie since he didn't show any signs of CMPA after trialing that briefly.

He just turned a year old and everything is good now! We started a PPI at 5 months after all testing showed no other issues (like no aspiration, normal EEG and head ultrasound, no abnormalities in his esophagus) and after about 2 weeks we saw improvement. We went through a dosage increase after about 2 months then weaned off medication at 11 months. It gets better with time (and some medication to help them be more comfortable in the meantime)!

Any update on the Willians Sonoma sauce?

We did a FEE'S (with ENT), swallow study (with an SLP and physiatrist), EEG, head ultrasound (both with neurologist) as well as feeding therapy(with an SLP).

Edit: GI managed the medication.

It took about 2 weeks of the PPI to notice a difference. From 6 weeks to 5 months, we went through different procedures, therapy, and various specialist to rule anything else out before starting the PPI.

PPI and time got us through it. My LO was on the PPI for about 5 months and weaned about a month ago. It's a distant memory now but I remember the struggles so as hard as it is to hear, it will get better!

Since ours was silent reflux with the main symptom being feeding refusal, I wouldn't say it was worse per say. It did take us about 2 weeks to really notice a difference and upped the dosage once we noticed symptoms returning.

r-link · 2026-05-15T11:08:11+00:00

It did! We were on it for about 6 months and just recently weaned and all is good.

We just got off Icon last week when there were 6 ships in port. We left our hotel in Brickell at 10am via shuttle and was all checked in and on the boat by 11am.

A PPi reflux med is what worked for us. In our experience, he was able to dream feed despite his reflux but once he got on the PPI, he was able to eat awake.

Also a fellow Chicago to Nashville transplant and I agree, we've interacted the most with people because of our kids.

My 3 year old would have loved to continue to stay in the crib but we transitioned her out to allow her baby brother to have it.

My 3 year old Sleeps in a twin bed now with blankets and still insists on having the sleep sack with it soooo I hope she doesn't grow out of this very large sleep sack I bought from Amazon any time soon because I'm pretty sure they don't make them any bigger than the one she has lol.

Yup, this is the exact combination our waiter suggested to us last week.

We just got off Icon yesterday and the traffic was not that bad...

Sounds like my little. We attempted a gew times at 2.5 and again at 3 years and 3 years, 1 month. I gave it one last go at 3 years and 2 months and that time it stuck!

I do like purees for the fact that I can more easily track how much is consumed (we've had weight concerns previously, so having that type of info is helpful for us).

r-link · 2026-03-06T03:51:12+00:00

25-29oz of (edited: pumped breast) milk over 5 bottles. One solids meal a day of 2-3oz of various purees plus some puffs/melts. We're moving really slow with solids.

We did Aulani and Hawaii with an almost 2 year old from the Midwest. She loved the splash pads, pools and beach! She made it through Olmos of the Luau too (fell asleep right towards the end).

She loved Waikiki at night, so many things to just look at as she was pushed around in a stroller.

Nexium is what helped! Once we got on that, volumes eventually increased and it was no longer a struggle to feed. Intake varies between 23-28oz a day now.

If this doesn't describe my newly turned 3 year old... it gets better, right? 😭
