Infant with Kidney Stones

I was just wondering if any of you moms have dealt with this or are dealing with an infant with kidney stones? My 6 1/2 month old son has kidney stones and we also just recently found out he was born with only one kidney. We dont know why he has the stones. He has gone to the childrens hospital in Pittsburgh for urine and blood tests and hopefully we will find out March 3rd what is causing the stones. It could either be something in his blood (which would be ok because they can be treated with meds) or a certain condition which would mean...

Symptoms of Acid Reflux in Infants??

I have a 4 month old son that is now horribly fussy when we try to give him a bottle of expressed breastmilk. He might drink 1 - 3 oz alright, but then starts screaming and screaming and won't stop and won't drink anymore. The doctor thinks it could be acid reflux, although his weight gain is good and we've already tried a round of Zantac and one of Prevacid. We're trying the Prevacid now for a longer period of time, but so far, it's not working. Does this sound like acid reflux? Does anyone have any suggestions?

Baby Boy Wont Go Poopie!!!!

I am soooooo frustrated! My 4 month old son is not having regular bowel movements and no one seems to care! I've talked to my pediatrician and haven't really been able to resolve the issue. Up until 6 weeks he was fine, after that, things changed. He was mostly breast fed (75-80%) and supplemented maybe once a day for the first three months. After that, I went back to work and now he is exclusively formula fed. While breast feeding, he was going once or twice a week. At that time the pediatrician said that he was probably absorbing...

Two Week Old Having Problems Burping! HELP?!

I have a two week old son who hardly ever burps after feeding! I wouldn't be too worried except it seems that instead of burping he gets really painful gas. Does ANYONE have any tips or advice? Could I just not be burping him long enough? I feel so bad for him!

Constipated 4 Month Old

My girlfriend's son is 4 months old and is breastfed. He has been severely constipated for most of his life. The doctor told her to give him 2 oz. of water every day and also to cover a thermometer with vaseline and give him an enema. I wanted to climb on here and ask our fellow mommies what they have done for their little ones in similar situations. Any advice, i'm not sure who I feel more sorry for, mommy or baby! ps....she tried giving him corn syrup mixed with breastmilk, which seemed to work for a couple of days, then the doc...

Diarrhea - What to Do

Hi- My daughter is 10 months old and has diarrhea ever since we were at the doctors office for her check-up a week and a half ago. She did not receive any vaccines however, she did receive her first dose of the flu shot. She has no other signs of being sick, ie; no fever, still eating well and over all good spirits. I am not sure what to do. She is eating table food in addition to being breast fed four times a day. Any suggestions about what to do would be great. Thank you!!

Gag Reflex in 10 Month Old

I have posted before about my son's disinterest in solids AND how he tends to gag & vomit when sick and needing medication or his nose aspirated. I am beginning to really consider the idea that he has a problem with his gag reflex. I started giving him solids at around 6 1/2 months and he STILL is very disinterested. He has only opened his mouth about 2-3 times over the last 3 1/2 months, always turns his head & eventually cries after attempting a few times. I have tried using a spoon and my finger. Using my finger I am able to get at...

Stage 3 Bottle to Replace First Years' Breastflow?

We've been using the First Years' Breastflow nipples and bottles and have just realized that we need to head into stage 3 (right?). When we've tried other bottles in the past, he's rejected all of them but this one. Is there anything else out there that's equivalent? He's 8.5 months old and has recently been weaned to formula. Thanks, mamas!
