The pediatricians office isn't open yet so you guys get my question. I gave baby his reflux meds this morning and then as I was taking the syringe out of his mouth, he threw up everything in his tummy. Should I give him the meds again or no?
I don't know but I often think about this. Please let us know what they say.
I gave her Prilosec this morning and then of course she didn't want to get up to eat 20 to 30 minutes later. I was able to sleep feed her fot just a couple minutes, but I'm hoping it was enough to get the med working! We've had a couple more short feeding sense then. Apparently it is just a sleepy day for us!
Is anyone trying to follow the eat play sleep routine? It's my ultimate goal, but she always falls asleep nursing, and it's pretty hard to move her when she looks this damn happy.
Plus during the witching hours any time she is sleeping and not screaming is good right? I mean I want a good sleeper, but...

How do you get her to sleep "on demand"? My girl will just scream if I put her down to sleep and she doesn't want to

We loosely followed it with DD1, but I don't think I started until she was 5-6 weeks old. She liked to eat a lot though so it usually turned into eat play eat sleep, which defeats the purpose.
lemon200 right now I rock/bounce/whatever it takes to get her to sleep when I think she's tired. I can't just put her down and have her fall asleep whether she is tired or not. We've tried putting her down drowsy but awake, and she always ends up pissed. I'm more getting at books like baby wise will suggest not letting them fall asleep while nursing. But I love the cuddles.
noname she is 5 weeks as of yesterday so it's roughly 'about that time' I start trying to implement it. I'm just always torn about waking her if she is falling asleep nursing. But if she does fall asleep and I put her down she just wakes up.
J is making these grunting noises and I'm not sure what they mean. It seems like he is straining but I'm not sure why. It's not like he is straining to poop because he has plenty of dirty diapers and its not like he grunts only when he had a dirty diaper. Could this be a sign of reflux? I think he may have a bit of reflux because he does spit up some of we lay him on his back after a feeding.
I came on here to ask this exact same thing, this plus my LO kicks her legs up while she sleeps. I am trying to figure out reflux or gas. We just started using miracle blanket and she still kicks her legs up w it !!

Gah how do we have babies that old on here already?! I never had problems with having to wake DD1 up, she wasn't a great napper, but I can see this being an issue with DD2. She wakes up to eat then promptly passes out the majority of the time, so I may be in your boat in a few weeks.

Does anyone's LO scream bloody murder just before peeing? DS started this 2 days ago. No foul smelling urine, no fever, no blood. I'm waiting on a call back from my Dr but am curious if anyone has experienced this? Could yeast cause this?

I had pizza with a pretty acidic sauce and pineapple on it which is also acidic and she was super fussy and had a lot of wet poops after that. I mentioned it to a friend and she said she had to avoid acidic things while BFing too.
As for the RNP, we use it every night for sleep! She seems to like it for the most part and I felt a lot better about it when she was having her gagging thing after birth.
Unlurking from my 2 weeks of c-section recovery and new baby to ask a question. DH went back to work today so I am on my own during the day if we need things. Is it okay to take baby to the store if we need things? Should I just shine it and have DH pick stuff up on his way home? FTM paranoia, I just really don't want her getting sick yet.

She's fine. Keep her in her bucket seat or a wrap while you're shopping. Sanitize your hands after.

Is arching of the back and coming off the nip always because of gas? I always just think she's stretching/ done eating so she's trying to unlatch. Am I being delusional?

@mrspanpan, yes. Doc says Liam has narrow nasal passages, which leads to some pretty noisy breathing (and piggy snorts when he gets really worked up). Doc recommended being a bit more liberal with the saline solution to make sure his nose stays clear.
I hate being a new mom who knows nothing. J has been grunting for a few days, almost like maybe he is gassy and trying to pass it. Sometimes his breathing seems more labored (like right now) and of course I am worried he can't breathe. He's eating fine and seems fine, other than some gas, I just hate not knowing what are normal baby sounds and which ones I should be worried about. Anyone have a noisy breather?
Edit: it seems to happen more when he is fighting his sleep or when he's coming out of his sleep and he's hungry.
Yes! It wakes me at night but I think it's pretty normal for babies. I'm learning though that anytime I'm really worrying a call to the nurses at our doctors office can be reassuring.
My daughter makes cute squeaks then these loud grunting noises!

Anyone still dealing with jaundice?
We had our one month appointment today and she's still kind of yellow. Good news is that the test results came back that it's breastfeeding jaundice (not a more concerning kind), but the number is high. Here's hoping it works its way down before next week's follow up appointment. We need to watch for increased sleepiness (ummm she still sleeps quite a bit!) and eating less. Of course she just ate 5min and is sound alseep so cue my night worries...

My pedi says immature digestive system bc E does the same thing. Basically they are trying to push out gas/poop but tensing their muscles at the same time since they don't really understand how things work. Gas drops haven't helped. The only thing I've been able to do is distract her... usually by nursing. Then she goes more easily when she's relaxed.

Do you know what the level is? Is she having lots of dirty & wet diapers?
My DD is good now but had pretty high levels in the week after birth.
hopefulreturn DD is still a touch yellow as well at 5.5 weeks. Her eyes are still definitely yellow. The pedi also said breast milk jaundice, but didn't check her levels and didn't seem concerned. I change 12+ diapers a day and she's gained 4+ pounds so I know she is getting enough. Definitely ready to see white eyes though!!

Our pedi also suggested narrow nasal passages as the source for our super noisy breather/sleeper. Sometimes she snores.
What do foamy poops mean again? EBF here and this is the first I've noticed it looking a little foamy. No green whatsoever though.
DS gets the occasionally foamy yellow poop too - also no green whatsoever. The LC/nurse said its common and nothing to be concerned about - unless it turns green. Then it's an imbalance hind/fore milk.
Eta: DS also fully empties me - and does it in record time. She mentioned the speed of eating may be associated with the foam but for me not to worry about it. He's just an efficient and effective eater. Does your LO empty the breat quickly?
Can thrush just start on the inside of the lips? M has creamy whitish looking stuff all over the insides of his lips. Haven't seen it on his tongue or cheeks.
