We have struggled with both of our daughters. I know the feeling of being sent off to another specialist. Last year we saw so many pediatric specialists. We are praying for a much better year in 2010. We will definitely continue to pray for Gaines.Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17000530764658634227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5469762995730196850.post-46700882602445095172009-12-24T08:15:30.997-05:002009-12-24T08:15:30.997-05:00I've followed your story from the beginning --...I've followed your story from the beginning -- having a similar story of going into labor while on a business trip. The only difference is we were planning to move there anyway. We just had to put in on fast forward when my water broke 3 months early.<br /><br />I'm so happy to see how far Gaines has come. I hope your family has a very Merry Christmas.Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12359576201916762061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5469762995730196850.post-90701029351254244442009-12-23T20:32:50.041-05:002009-12-23T20:32:50.041-05:00I had a preemie with NICU time and major reflux. Y...I had a preemie with NICU time and major reflux. Yes, it's terrible and messy, and I cried a lot. It ruined a lot of clothes, and I scrubbec carpet about ten times per day. Unfortunately, it's common with preemies and probably won't bet significantly better until he's walking. My son was on medication until age two for it. The meds will help with the pain but not the actual spitting up. Don't expect huge improvements in the spitting part from meds. The best advice I can give is to try to accomodate it to make life easier. I would avoid baby foods like carrots which stained since he always spit up on carpet. I used the ultimate crib sheet that snaps around slats so I could just rip it off and wash instead of taking off bumpers. My son was crawling and still spitting up baby food while he was crawling through it! That's really gross! I think I finally just surrendered to the fact that it was bad and gave up trying to fix it. Gaines will outgrow it, but it will take time.Michelle Cearleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14858593629383520900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5469762995730196850.post-28012105959762259452009-12-23T10:28:27.199-05:002009-12-23T10:28:27.199-05:00Great to hear about your boys!

It too got better, then returned when we started adding the different baby foods! You mentioned adding some new foods to his menu---it could be on of those new foods. Go back to the last one you can remember him NOT spitting it back up, and start again keeping tabs on responses as you add new foods (kind of like you do to check for allergies). Don't worry, my daughter launched her meals until about 16 months of age, then it stopped! There is light at the end of the tunnel and it is not a train!

The gastro doctor was not suprised at all and said this age is when it peaks. Possibly from the baby becoming a bit more "active".<br />It will get better, I promise!<br />Have a great Christmas with your two boys!The mom of 4 monkeys!https://www.blogger.com/profile/10681404635184217974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5469762995730196850.post-72812492251860878002009-12-22T00:12:28.220-05:002009-12-22T00:12:28.220-05:00Both my boys had horrible reflux and it tends to c...Both my boys had horrible reflux and it tends to come and go until it makes its final stand. For Eli, our youngest, it was about 8 months old where he suddenly just stopped spitting up. <br /><br />Hang in there, he'll get over it. :)Dan and Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06512092661627075811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5469762995730196850.post-59813965376067169742009-12-21T23:29:49.848-05:002009-12-21T23:29:49.848-05:00Gaines and Reed sound so sweet together!

I am so happy to hear how well Gaines is doing developmentally and am saying a prayer that his reflux issues can be controlled soon. Hope you all have a wonderful first Christmas together as a family of four!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01444046667591341655noreply@blogger.com
