when is it too long??

hannah is going on day eight of forceful spit up. it is not happening as frequently, thank goodness. but she is not herself. she is staying hydrated as she is making good wet diapers. but she has definitely lost weight. the docs have me now giving her 1 oz of formula every 1/2 hour.

the docs seem so laidback about it and of course, i am not. first time mommy syndrome i guess. but curious to know what others think.

thanks for all of the help. i know i post ALOT about hannah's reflux woes, but this board has helped us out tremendously. i don't have any other friends who have kids and have gone thru this.

Re: when is it too long??

It's too long IMO. If she's losing weight, it's time to do something.

I'm sorry to disagree with your pediatrician. I know the last thing you need is conflicting advice and he is the doctor. Please, please trust your gut.

eta. also don't ever apologize for posting too much on AR - I look forward to the day when it's under control & you're the board expert.

We never went through it for 8 days but we did go through it from time to time and there big thing was the wet diapers. They seemed laid back as long as she was having wet diapers.
How much weight has she lost?
I don't think Miranda ever lost weight but she would sometimes go without gaining any which worried me.
I know it's super stressful and exhausting to worry all the time about your baby.
