My daughter was born at 35 weeks, and had a major onslaught of medical issues that resulted in her being on the ventilator for the first 8 weeks of her life. at week 10, we came home with her on oxygen and a feeding tube. at first she did quite well learning to eat, but in the past 4 weeks has developed severe reflux.
she is now on a full tab of prevacid, and refuses to drink from the bottle. i don't know what to do, she will hopefully see a feeding therapist this week. i feel like she is still in pain, but have been told that there is nothing else she can be on medicine-wise for reflux. i really feel as though the pain management would help her reflux, but i don't know what to ask for or what to insist on.
she is a complicated baby and i can't just start trying random things, or even try a new doctor. she sees the only neonatalogist in the area. i just feel like i need more ammunition and the right questions to get some help for her.
