[tri-med] Re: New Family

 
hi and welcome, my name is sharon and i have a son Jason, 9 months old with  
trisomy 17p . i have only given him formula, but my daughter, Lauren was  
exclusively breast fed until she was 6 months old, she is a "typically  
developing" child and had no GI issues. The only time she was fussy was when 
for  2 days 
straight i was devouring chicken that i had made with a  consomme powder that 
i did not know contained MSG. 
 
When Jason was 2 months old, that is when his reflux started and when  he 
started to really throw up because of it. Maybe the reflux is getting worse,  
or 
the meds need to be adjusted. 
 
Also, sometimes after they get their shots they are fussy for a few  days.
 
Good Luck !
Sharon

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.
