Any Advice for Dealing with Reflux????

My daughter is 5 1/2 weeks old and has reflux. The doctor recommended sitting her up after feedings and burping her more often throughout feedings to keep the formula from coming back up. I know she is tired of sitting up majority of the time and throughout the night. Any suggestions to help her through this?? She also seems to be congested. At times she will spit up and it will come through her nose and mouth, but she will start to choke on the milk and alot of flegm will come out of her mouth, and it is hard for her to catch her...

Constipation and Urinary Tract Infection in a Toddler

My 2 year old is having emotional times every time she has a bowel movement. She is upset when it happens. She acts like something bad is happened. We tried to encourage her to go, talked to her, even showed to her that this not a bad thing at all. Noting seems work. Now she is holding herself from pooping, ending up in being constipated up to four days at the time when we are forced to use enema. We give her plenty of water and prune juice, and also some laxatives. Second issue I have, I started to think she might have urinary tract...

Withholding Stool Even Though He Is on Miralax

I am wondering Why my child is still trying to withold stool even though he is on a high level of Miralax. He has about three tablespoons a day. The goal was to get him pooping so much that he did not have time to wothold. Even though he is on all of the lax he still does the dance. I am soooooooo frustrated and want to help him so much. He will be three next month. The funny thing is that I tried potty training last Nov. in which we stoped because he had H1N1. He was also getting one flu after another at school. During that time he...

Probiotics vs Miralax

I know I've posted on this issue before, but here it goes again! My 3 year old deals with chronic constipation. She is normally a good eater and loves fruits and vegetables. She also drinks water regularly through out the day, I'd say about 4 8oz glasses per day. Sometimes she goes up to 4 days with out having a bowel movement. When she goes that long she gets really sick. She won't eat or hardly drink anything, her belly gets round and hard and she's miserable. Her bowels push on her bladder and she loses the sensation that she needs to...

Getting 3 1/2 YO off the Nap and Night Time Pull-ups

Hi Moms. I need your advice! We have been potty training for about 6 months with my DD. She is at the point where she really does not have anymore accidents with #1 (pee). She asks to go to the bathroom or we take her there if it has been awhile since she has gone. The problem is, we have used a Pull-up during naptimes and overnight. After naptime, or in the morning, her Pull-Up is usually pretty soaked. She does not get many liquids before sleeping time (only during lunch and at dinnertime). I have attempted to let her try napping...
