Car Seat Napping - Safe?

Hello- My now 11 week old has graduated from 'bouncy chair' napping to car seat. I understand some moms do this and doctors recommend it (for acid reflux issues) but am double-checking on the safety of this practice, as I have read articles that the car seat should be used in a car only. Ideally, this should be the case, but I feel sleep is just as important to her well-being. I do not strap her in while she is napping & feel the incline is similar to a bouncy chair. She has been going down in her crib for bedtime (graduated...

Infant with Reflux

I have a almost 5 month old baby boy with reflux. He was born 13 weeks early. The doctor has him on previcid and it has not seemed to work. We have him on the Similic Advance formula. He does ok the first half of his feed, then the rest of his feed he will fight eating. Sometimes after he burps it gets better. He spits up after almost every feed. He is gaining weight. I was wondering if anyone else has had these problems and what worked for you. I am thinking of calling the doctor and putting him on a different formula. He also will cry...

Infant with Reflux Hates Thickened Formula

My son is 2 months old. Because of food allergies he could not have breast milk. He is on Neocate that needs to be thickened with rice cereal, and he absolutely hates it. When I add pear juice (for constipation) he will happily eat. I don't want to give him juice in every bottle to get him to eat. But, on the other hand feeding times are miserable. Some days he will refuse to eat for hours and just cry from anger and hunger. Is there a parent that has been through this that has a suggestion? Thanks for any help.

Sick 8 Month Old Baby Girl, Help!

My 8 month old daughter Layla cannot tolerate any kind of formula, so I strictly breastfeed her and feed her baby food, just straight vegetables and fruits. Well once before I gave her gerber fruit smoothies baby food thinking she would enjoy it, and about 1-2 hours after eating it she got violently sick, vomiting everywhere like she would when she would drink formula. After a few vomiting fits, she becomes very lethargic and goes to sleep. Its extremely scary to watch and ive taken her to the ER several times when she was really young and...

Desperate for Allergy Answers

This might seem crazy..but I have had ZERO luck at the pediatrician and allergist finding a solution for my 20 month old son. I thought I would turn to you moms instead. My son has been experiencing a rash all over his body, huge dark circles under his eyes, diarrhea (8-10 dirty diapers a day) and a runny nose (clear) for over a month now. I am sure it's some kind of allergy, but I don't want to have bloodwork done until I have tried other options. I feel like all the doctors want to do is medicate him instead of finding the CAUSE of the...

My Two Year Old Has a Cow's Milk and Soy Allergy

We've recently made the discovery that my son has a cow's milk allergy by journaling his food for about a month, then doing a blood test. (He LOVES milk, cheese, ice cream, etc...) So, I stocked up on soy products. He adjusted well for about a week and a half until the severe rash and diarreah came back. Now we know he's also allergic to soy! I just spent three hours at a whole food store trying to find foods he can eat. (FYI- they have a helpful list of dairy free foods that they carry, unfortunately most of the items contain soy). ...
