"That's great that you are getting some progress, hopefully he'll continue to improve, it can take weeks to see the full effect of moving over to Neocate (some people have said 6-8 weeks).
What a clever little chap to be walking already!…"

Nicky replied to Nicky's discussion Vomitting with Neocate?"Hi Gillian, thanks so much fr your help. I have been using the thickener every time now and he has stopped vomitting. He is now spitting up sometimes but thats better than the vomtting. He has started taking less milk per feed and can easily go 4-5…"
Nicky replied to Nicky's discussion Vomitting with Neocate?"Hi Jen, Ive left jumping on for a while to give Neocate a good try, plus everyone is probably sick of me winging aout Bailey's reflux everyday :-) After starting to mix the thickener Bailey stopped vomitting so that was a quick fix.…"
Jenny Rawling replied to Nicky's discussion Vomitting with Neocate?"Neocate is thin in texture so the thickener is a good idea. Also it often makes them more windy whilst their systems adjust. I'd persevere and see if he settles over the next few weeks. The other thought is has he picked up a vomiting bug?…"
Gillian D replied to Nicky's discussion Vomitting with Neocate?"Neocate will make his wind worse it is one of the side effects of it.
Because my LR vomits so badly we have never given neocate without thickener and even then he's still sick due to the reflux, but many other parents on here have…"
Nicky replied to Nicky's discussion Vomitting with Neocate?"Further to my post, he has been winging and crying all day. This is not like him, plus hes farting alot more. Hes also appearing more tired than usual. I gave him a half feed of neocate which he took easy (i think hes hungry cause had only fed 2…"
Nicky replied to Nicky's discussion Milk protein intollerance, which foods to avoid?"Hi Jen, thanks for this. Ive already gotten rid of some things containing milk and went to the supermarket yesterday and stocked up ona few milk free things. I have to try to keep perserveing with fresh meat and vege/fruit which is hard cause he…"
Nicky posted a discussionVomitting with Neocate?
Bailey has just been on neoate for 2 days and this morning he was winging and crying for about 1 hour and then he did a little vomit. About 10 minutes later all of a sudden he starts really crying and his face went red. I went to him and said 'baby whats wrong' and he just starts projectile vomitting and vomitting and vomitting. He was so distressed and he was crying tears from his eyes and he kept gagging. It took me some time to settle him down. This was way different compared to the usual…See More
Jenny Rawling replied to Nicky's discussion Need some opinions on my story regarding reflux and sleep disorder"Thanks for the update - sounds like you have a positive way forward. Hope you see some progress in the next couple of weeks (wouldn't that be a great Christmas present!) Jen x"
Jenny Rawling replied to Nicky's discussion Milk protein intollerance, which foods to avoid?"Hi Nicky - it's a case of reading labels on everything to start with, I'm afraid. The allergy information is now on most things. There is a grey area of foods "made in a factory which handles milk" or "may contain traces…"
Nicky replied to Nicky's discussion Need some opinions on my story regarding reflux and sleep disorder"Hi Jen, appointment with specialist went ok today. I told the doctor that I thought Bailey is not tollerating omeprazole well due to a numbber of sypmtoms I noticed and the dr agreed and reduced the dose. I brought up the converstaion regarding milk…"
Nicky posted a discussionMilk protein intollerance, which foods to avoid?
Hi everyone, so now I am trialing Bailey on Neocate Im not 100% sure which foods to stay clear of? I obviously wont give him any dairy but I know milk can be found in so many foods. I dont want to end up thinking Neocate hasnt worked or anything because Im accidently giving him foods with milk in it. Because he has had trouble with solids and wont swallow food we have been told to only give bailey finger foods and to aim for a fruit/vege, meat and carb at each mealtime and let him choose what…See More
Jenny Rawling replied to Nicky's discussion Need some opinions on my story regarding reflux and sleep disorder"20mg omep is normally the top dose for babies. 1ml of ranitidine is 15mg which would be top end for a 5kg baby, as if he's heavier there is a bit of scope to increase this but as it's less effective than omep I doubt that will make much…"
Nicky replied to Clare's discussion Omeprazole dosage"Hi Gillian, thanks for clarifying, I got confused because he was taking the tablet form of omep and now hes taking the liquid form. So he is having 10mg x 2 day omep and 1ml x 3 day of ranitidine. So it seems like he is on the max and he is def not…"
Nicky replied to Nicky's discussion Need some opinions on my story regarding reflux and sleep disorder"Hi Jen, He has put Bailey on ranitidine 1ml x 3 day and omeprazole 10mg x 2 day (sorry for generic spelling but im too lazy to go read the labels :-). I will ask him about the milk this friday and see what he says to us. Believe it or not when I say…"
Jenny Rawling replied to Nicky's discussion Need some opinions on my story regarding reflux and sleep disorder"What doses are you on at the moment, Nicky? Doctors will usually start with a low dose of omep so there is probably scope to increase that on Friday.
The other thing to ask about would be a hypoallergenic milk (whatever the equivalent of Neocate is…"
Nicky replied to Clare's discussion Omeprazole dosage"Hi ladies, my son has been on ranitidine 1ml 3 x day and omeprazole 10ml 2 x a day and still not under control. Hes also on the Necotate anti reflux formula. The omeprazole was added about 10 days ago but no improvements and I feel in some ways hes…"

Im struggling as well with a 9 month old with all these issues and more, although bailey doesnt have to be held by me all night and only to rock him to…"
Nicky replied to Nicky's discussion Need some opinions on my story regarding reflux and sleep disorder"so bailey has been on the med combination for 10 days and hes not improving unfortunately.
