Infant throwing up alot, coming through nose and clogging airway.. please help..out of options..?

Does anyone elses baby throw up and it comes out there nose as well.. my little man does this and it clogs his airway and he stops breathing.. i had to call 911 the other day because i couldnt get him breathing again.. i use the nasal aspirator to suck it out but sometimes it dont really work.. im so scared that something bad is going to happen.. i really need help. Hes been to the doctor a million times, recently he seen a GI specialist and they ran a million test and everything came back normal except he has a milk/soy protein allergy.. so he has been on Elecare formula for 1 week and 3 days... He is still throwin up so much... does this formula maybe take a long time to work or is he goin to just keep puking and choking like this??? He is also on .7ml of zantac 3 times a day.. wich in my opinion duz nothing to help the puking... we tried prevaid and he couldnt tolerate it, it gave him stomach pains and diarea... Doctor recomended reglan, but after just one dose he screamed and screamed in pain and plus iv heard way to much bad stuff about reglan so i never gave it to him again... Im so scared he is goin to quit breathing for good .. but the doctors act like there is nothing left to do and im just over reacting and i need to just deal with it... Can anyone out there recomend anything or at least just tell me they had this same issue with the choking and that it will all be ok... oh and cereal isnt an option.. the doctors said absolutely NO cereal in the bottle this young... Please help.. i dont want something to happen to my little man... Any advice or stories are very much appreciated

I would get a second, third and many more opinions before settling on this issue. Throwing up like this does not sound normal and you have a right to feel the way you do.





The only advise that I can offer is to make sure that the formula is warmed up. Make sure to warm it up on the stove and do not microwave it.
Reply:cut all dairy from your diet and get that baby back on the breast, sounds like he has an intolerance to cows milk based formula's


possibly even reflux, which is further compounded by formula's
Reply:If you don't want to follow the recommendations of your current doctor, see another doctor for a second opinion. I'm sorry to say, but there is not much else that you can do, except what advice your doctor has given you. If you see a different physician, he may order the tests to be done again, and you may find something different that the first tests missed. Make sure you tell the doctor every tiny detail about what you feed, when he vomits, how and when he sleeps. You might have to change his feeding schedule and leave him in a sitting position while he sleeps. Most babies will grow out of this.
Reply:I will fisrt say AMEN..I thought I was the only person in the world that had a baby with this problem and I was just a paranoid mother...


My little girl does the same thing ! and I too have called 911 and taken 3 trips to the Er because she stopped breathing - had milk comming out her nose etc.


the syringe works to an extent,but isnt the answer. I have had her sleeping with me since day one because I am so afraid that she will do this in the middle of the night and quit breathing.


they have done some tests,but not given her any medications - she was born a month early and they said that because she was so small ,that I need to expect the unexpected..one thing I did do that helped a little was i bought a few bottles that I actually had to poke the hole in the nipple,so I made it real small, so she would have to work to drink it,and because it comes out in smaller amounts and slower she doesnt seem to have as much of a problem.


Its been 2 1 /2 weeks since I did this and 2 1/2 weeks that we havnt had a stop breathing episode. She still spits it out her nose a little but not nearly as much.


I also keep a cool mist humidifier running all the time now which seems to help with clogged noses and mucous
Reply:I had a premie may years ago that brought up the food, a lot when I laid her down. I kept her in my arms a lot with her head in the crock of my elbow for as long as I could after having her bottle. As she grew, the problem disappeared, she is now 47, it all turned out well. The Breast feeding if possible would be a good idea, and keeping the head elevated a little is worth a try. The milk allergy needs your attention. That would be relieved with breast feeding. If the breast milk is not possible search for alternative to what he is now taking . Most of all you need to relax, take a deep breath or two, and work on the solution. Best wishes and Gods blessing to you and your little man
Reply:I'm going to agree with Diceman, here. Your baby would not be getting such digestive hassles if you were nursing.





It is NOT too late. Google "relactation," check out http://kellymom.com
Reply:sorry to hear this if it was me i would take them straight to your nearest hospital department. hope they are ok
Reply:hi, I am sorry to hear your little man is having this promblem. I wil tell you that it is going to get better, but it will be a very hard time and feel like a long road ahead. Years down the road you will be the one mother out of ten who say, it makes me smile to thin back but I would never go back to the baby stage. wile other moms, only wish they could go back. My sister had this promblem with her baby. They had a heart moniter on the baby at all times. after the baby made it three months with no promblems they took her off it. I know your doctor said absoluty no cereal, but the only thing that did help my sisters baby was a teaspoon of baby cereal in every bottle. It heps te formula to stay down instead of coming back up. No iron was to be in the babys formula either. They did put the baby on medicine and she swore and the intire family swore that it did not help. She said it even made the baby spit and puke more. It was like the puking scenes from the exorcist, she would just puke at any time. She as instructed to keep the baby on the medicine and she did.After a year the ababy was fine. Her baby girl is now four and you would never guess that she ever had a problem. Unfortetnetly , with my sister she backed away from the baby and never could form a bond with her. So , although I am not a doctor , i am just a mother I would advise as many second opinions as you can get. You are the mother and if you feel cereal might help, I say try it. Mothers know best is what my mother always said. and Ihope things get better. If you would like more information on this go ahead and write me at kidsstuff@rock.com and maybe you and my sister could talk.
Reply:I think I would get a second opinion from another doctor, it might be partially from the zantac, maybe he got a little better and the zantac keeps it going, but I don't know if zantac does that. For seizures they give the people medicine that if you don't have seizures causes them, so if they get better the medicine keeps the seizure going. But really see another doctor some are just better than others. I hope he gets better, good luck.
Reply:my son is the same way, when he throws up his formual its ALOT and it comes thruogh his nose, i have a doc appt. for it but until then, i dont know, GL!
Reply:Find another doctor, some just don't care as much as others, there has to be something else you can do. Try another hospital another specialist, until you find someone who listens and cares about you. Is it still possible for you to nurse? Do you have any milk left? If so that may be a option. I really think you should get him to a different doc though cause that sounds messed up and they shouldn't send you home like that. Do you have a children's hospital in your area?
