Well, update time:

Thankfully she has settled down and we now know what was causing the flare-ups, pears and apples!! So we will be avoiding these for the time being!]]> Fri, 15 Feb 2008 21:42:19 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13927&PID=303606&title=advice-needed#303606 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13927&PID=295348&title=advice-needed#295348 Author: BabyKiwi

Hey thanks for that!! I really appreciate the advice, especially the advice about the 'Child disability allowance' I didn't know that. Will get on to it!

DD dosen't have severe reflux, thankfully!! The karicare AR is working along with the losec, so hopefully we can introduce solids pretty soon.]]> Wed, 06 Feb 2008 10:24:59 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13927&PID=295348&title=advice-needed#295348 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13927&PID=295255&title=advice-needed#295255 Author: thompson

my kids have refulx (projectile and silent). their pediatrican recommended they changed from Karicare AR and went onto PepiJunior forumla as many kids with reflux have dairy protein allergies. made a huge improvement.
just out of interest, did you know if your child has diagnosed reflux you can get a 'child disability allowance' of about $39 a week from WINZ? its not income tested and your G.P can complete the form for you. a small but handy help to get out for coffee etc and feel a bit more normal!
also, have been having probs feeding my 7mth old solids. the best is to have it almost like water. too thick and they gag and vomit. i started at 5 3/4mths and after a week i stopped as she couldn't stop vomiting everytime i fed her (just tried baby rice, apple). G.P said to leave it for a month and retry. G.P also said you have a window of 3 mths of when you can start feeding them ie you could start at 8 months if you really had to. don't know exactly what i think about that though!!!]]> Wed, 06 Feb 2008 08:43:25 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13927&PID=295255&title=advice-needed#295255 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13927&PID=287883&title=advice-needed#287883 Author: BabyKiwi

Very slowly! We started with pears which are apparently quite easy to digest and baby rice. Home prepared fruits are better as you can peel them, commercially prepared baby apples, pears etc. still have the skin which contains a lot of pectin and can upset reflux bubs. Avoid stuff like dairy, egg, wheat, soy etc. until much, much later as a lot of reflux bubs will go on to have food allergies.

Good luck! Glad you managed to settle Ava this afternoon!]]> Sun, 27 Jan 2008 20:17:44 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13927&PID=287818&title=advice-needed#287818 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13927&PID=287656&title=advice-needed#287656 Author: BabyKiwi

I am so glad that you gave that advice!!

This afternoon has been awful!

We gave DD her milk feed at 10.30am and then her solids at 11am, an hour or so later she started crying, wouldn't settle and was very grumpy (granted she was also tired!) I recognised the signs of a reflux flareup thanks to your advice. I gave her 1 dose of gaviscon and she settled down for her next feed, which she took then went to sleep for 2 hours!!

question for you all, how did you introduce solids to a bub with reflux??]]> Sun, 27 Jan 2008 17:23:50 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13927&PID=287656&title=advice-needed#287656 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13927&PID=287393&title=advice-needed#287393 Author: BabyKiwi

Hey thanks for the advice, it definately makes sense. And well, if it's working for her so be it!!]]> Sun, 27 Jan 2008 09:49:14 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13927&PID=287393&title=advice-needed#287393 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13927&PID=287103&title=advice-needed#287103 Author: Maya

I'd say stick with the AR for at least the next few months, you don't want a big reflux flare up when you start solids. Ava's milk feeds are more important than her solid feeds until 8-9 months so you don't need to worry about her filling up on milk too much at this stage.]]> Sat, 26 Jan 2008 21:56:17 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13927&PID=287103&title=advice-needed#287103 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13927&PID=286343&title=advice-needed#286343 Author: BabyKiwi

DD is on losec which seems to be working. We are now in the process of introducing solids to her (she is loving this!) she is currently on Karicare AR formula, this was started before the medication was given.

This formula is quick thick and I don't want to fill her up on the milk to much especially now with the solids, would it be a good idea to gradually change her milk to an ordinary formula and allow the losec to work?? Have any of you done it like this?? What milk would you recommend!?]]> Fri, 25 Jan 2008 16:34:17 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13927&PID=286343&title=advice-needed#286343
