[tri-med] Re: New Family

hi and welcome!



when my daughter was younger she had a lot of gas and tummy problems. we used 
to go through mylecon like it was going out of style! it didn't really do the 
trick though. there are some massages that you can do on her tummy to help to 
expel the gas. with my daughter we figured out that most of her tummy pains 
came from reflux and we had to change to a stronger med.

Hello All,
I am new to the list and will introduce myself more fully when I have a minute. 
 


I am the mom to a 2 month old with Trisomy13.  She got her 2 month shots on 
Wednesday.  For the past few days she has been very gasey and fussy.  She 
generally calms when you hold her, but she is not her usual content self.  
She is exclusively getting breast milk through ng/bottle/breast.  It seems that 
she frequently has gi issues.  We are giving her mylecon drops every 4 hours 
and 
she is on prilosec for reflux.  Can anyone tell me if they went through 
something similar.  Do you have any suggestions to help her gas?  She did throw 
up once last night and once today.  both times it was after my husband fed her. 
 
Could it be my diet?  Any suggestions on what I should eliminate?

Thanks so much for any advice.
