Quoting AshlynnJadesMom:
The doctor said it was a milk sugar not a milk protein and she should be fine which didn't make sense to me. I am so confused and not sure what to do. I am infuriated that I work full time buy yet my insurance will not cover something my sick daughter needs. She is already underweigjt and was in the hospital on a feeding tube for 5 days due to reflux and this is just making me so mad that it is being taken so lightly.
i would be very careful not to give anything with lactose in it our there anny generaic forms of prilosec or something homeo pathic maybe
I know quite a few Moms from my reflux support group whos children had a reaction to Prevacid when they have milk intolerance. Have your DR call the insurance company many times they say they do not cover reflux meds because you can buy OTC. IF they are reminded and told OTC won't work because the child is too young to take it alot of times they will ok it. I have had this issue. Also you may rethink and just use the OTC I did that for my DD at about 6 months old.
my boys and my nephew never had to have medication to help with their milk allergies.
I did want to make sure there were a few things you were doing that doctor's often don't think of.
first don't feed her laying down. Her tummy needs to be at least 45% lower than her mouth during and for at least an hour after her feeding. don't be too giggly after feeding her or giving her the medication. And most importand give her hugs and kisses from all of us at CafeMom, Happy Mother's Day
How long does the belly take to go away?
