since brayden was born, the only issue we've had to battle is his reflux. and a battle it has been. poor little guy has had a hard time keeping his food down. we've had to try many different routes, but i'm starting to wonder if this is something he is just going to have to grow out of.....and no solution until then.
we found that bottles worked better than nursing. Formula works better than breastmilk. Cereal in his bottles works better than just formula. dr. browns bottles work better than all other bottles. keeping upright it better than laying down.
s
o for now, this is what my life has become. incessant wardrobe changes for baby b and i both. if you have seen four christmas, you probably found those scenes of projectile vomiting to be quite humorous. i laughed and almost cried at the same time.
time out. i need to first apologize to my dear little boy. brayden, let me just say that i am thankful you will never remember this stage in your life. formula is absolutely repulsive. in every aspect. not to mention your diapers are now blowouts that smell like a raw sewage infestation and your burps cause severe dry heaving for your victimized parents. you really are 'all boy!' don't worry, i got your daddy gagging while changing one of those blowouts on video. we will save it in order to show your future wife what she is in for when that day arrives. at least you remain content through all these traumatic episodes. your smiles and giggles help me keep my sanity. in the mean time, i'm sorry that this is all you can eat for the next couple of months. it will get better, i promise...or at least that's what i tell myself!

Hey Wes,
We have been battling the exact same thing with Reilly since she was about 3 weeks old. I finally stopped breastfeeding about 4 weeks ago (she is 5 and a half months old). The only thing that has worked for us is using the Dr. Brown's bottles with Similac Sensitive lactose free formula that is ready to feed. It is expensive, but her throw ups are only about once per feeding instead of 24/7!!
Let me know if you have any questions, my email address is estafford06@gmail.com
you know, it's funny you say that because i bought that yesterday only because brayden was hungry and i needed a bottle fast. after he ate, he didn't spit up!!! we might have to switch!
Wes, even though I am still breastfeeding, Bill feeds Liam with expressed breast milk when I work with Dr. Browns bottles and he never spits up, but he will even when he feeds from me,,, very weird I thought. Dr. Browns is expensive but sooo worth the money! Poor baby Brayden,, I hope it gets better for him and you!
I wish Liam was sleeping thru the night,, he's sleeping a little longer between feedings but not the whole night,, I wish!
