Could It Be Acid Reflux?

My 1 month old has been very fussy the last couple of weeks, and I'm not sure whats wrong. He hardly naps during the day, but will sleep for 2-3 hours at a time during the night. It also seems like he's constantly hungry, so I nurse him every 1 1/2 to 2 hours. I know my milk supply is adequate. Usually halfway through a feeding he'll stiffen up and start to crying really hard, and then do the same after a feeding. This is my first baby, so I don't have much experience. We thought it might be gas, so we started giving him those gas drops. A...

Mylicon Drops for Infants

I am considering trying these Mylicon drops for my 3 week old DS. I was wondering if anyone else had used them and to what success. It says on the package that it will help with the spitting up. I am nursing him and he seems to spit up more than he should. I have tried burping him more, limiting how long he feeds on each side, sitting him up after he feeds, watching what I am eating to see if there is a food that triggers it......nothing is working. He seems to be thriving as he can go 2-3 hrs between feeds. He is peeing well and...

5 Month Old Still Spitting up Frequently...

My 5 month old son, Jaxon, spits up constantly! We're not talking the average spit up. It's projectile happening multiple times during feedings and in-between feedings...EVEN if he has taken a super long nap. And it's massive amounts, not just a few tablespoons. He's spit up like this since birth. I breastfed for 6 weeks and he even spit up with that. I've tried: feeding him less (which doesn't work because he spits up so much, it's not too long and he's hungry again), I've mixed cereal in with his formula, I've tried burping him...

2 Year Old Pajama/diaper Houdini

My 2 year old will NOT keep his pajamas or diaper on at night. We tried onesies underneath (he pulls them until the snaps give, then proceeds to remove the pants then the diaper, then pees all over), backward diaper (barely slowed him down), and even painter's tape lightly around the waist of the diaper (he tore the diaper in half so the waist was still on, and the rest was hanging down...and peed in his crib). We were told to try backwards feetie pajamas, and they do work - but it's getting warmer out, and I am concerned he will be too...
