Feeding

Anyone else feel like they’re constantly feeding their baby? My son is 10 weeks old and I feel like all I do is feed him. He has reflux and spits up quite a bit so I know he’s probably making up for some of that. I can’t even get him on a feeding schedule because he’s always wanting to eat. He’s perfectly healthy and gaining weight as he should so no concerns there, I’m just going nuts having to feed him all the time.

Are you treating his reflux?

Avatar

i keep him upright for 20-30 minutes after feeding, try to pace his feedings, and he was on famotidine for reflux but kept spitting it right back up so his pediatrician took him off of it

sorry the famotidine didn’t work, it’s been working for us. Our pediatrician said she would prescribe omeprazole if it didn’t. I think it is a little complicated to get it though, like maybe it has to be specifically formulated and not just in stock normally at the pharmacy.

i gotcha. He gained almost 3 pounds in a month so since he’s obviously not losing weight because of the spitting up, the doctor didn’t prescribe him anything else (he was on extra calorie formula because he was a preemie)

Feeling weird

Hey all. I went in for a reassurance scan this morning as I have been feeling consistent movement for the last few weeks, and then no movement since Sunday night, and some hiccups yesterday morning. While the nurse was doing my scan, she goes “are you eating enough?” Should I be worried about that comment? It has me feeling weird ever since :/

I can’t walk or move!

30 weeks pregnant and for the past week I’ve had this really weird pain all down my right hip, bum and leg. It’s like it all locks in place but if I bend down and I’m fine I come back up and get stuck. I can barely walk or move because every time I do I’m in agony. It’s so much worse at night time. Tried a hot water bottle on it and paracetamol and nothing seems to be helping it. Does anyone know what this is and what I can do to stop it?

Had a fall

I had a fall today and my OB recommended going in for monitoring but I’m terrified that they will try and do blood work when all my OB wants is fetal monitoring because I have a history of preterm labor.

Insomnia...

After two weeks of getting around 5 hours sleep a night, I've only managed to get an hour and a half sleep tonight and feel ready for the day - anyone else?
