Guest guest Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 Hi, As a mom of four all my kids are different. I breast fed and also supplemented with formula. My son use to spit up on formulas, until I switched him to Good Start. It was gentle on his stomach like breast milk. I know I sound like the commercial LOL. mom to 13, 11, 8 and 5 and10 months mDs From: MosaicDS [mailto:MosaicDS ] On Behalf Of Grace Sent: Sunday, October 05, 2008 10:19 PM To: MosaicDS Subject: Spitting Up My daughter, Kayla, is 4 months old and she does not just spit up but she will really throws up her formula. She has been doing this ever since she was born and at first I thought it might be the formula so I switched to Soy based but she still does it. She probably throws up at least 3-4 times a week. My pediatrician, who does not specialize in down syndrome children, says its just normal but I dont remember my son ever throwing up like this. I was just wondering if anyone else had the same issue and if so do they have any suggestions on what I can do. I just feel bad for Kayla because it really scares her when it happens.

Guest guest Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 I breastfeed and supplemented also. We had spit up about 3-4 times a week aswell. my son is now 7 months old and seems to only have the spit up when he eats the commercial baby food. I make his baby food most of the time and he seems to do great with it no matter the texture. I dont know if it is the DHA in the baby food or what because those are the only ones I have bought to feed him other than homemade. We do better on Soy as did all three of my boys but Truett is the only one that spit up like this. He also has some reflux with it at times. But by in large it is still on the normal side for the amount he spits up. He also spit up with breastmilk just not as often and it was less offensive than formula. lol.

Guest guest Posted October 7, 2008 Report Share Posted October 7, 2008 My Hannah was a " projectile " tosser when she threw up. we came to find this comes from her MDS as does her chronioc constipation. being she was never diagnosed with MDS until after her leukemia diagnosis at age 3 we never put two and two together.. she only did that from birth until age 1- 1 1/2 then it calmed down. she can throw up allot when she is sick now but thankfully makes it to the bathroom! she is having issues now they are checking into with mild choking or Dysphagia, she needs to see a Gastroenterologist dr to have a special scope done to see if she has narrowing or acid reflux issues. among seeing now a neurologisit for possible seazures. hope this helps.

Guest guest Posted October 7, 2008 Report Share Posted October 7, 2008 Just a side note: Please take note that lots of kids do this and do not have Ds or MDS. So, even though a doctor may link it to MDS or Ds, they do not have actual scientific proof that the actual chromosome is what is causing this, since it does happen for a large majority of babies who have no other issues at all. In most cases, this will just stop on its own, but as always it is best to talk with your doctor to not only rule out any problems, but also to just calm any fears you may have. my two cents.

Guest guest Posted October 7, 2008 Report Share Posted October 7, 2008 I agree a fellow Dr friend of mine has a non ds infant who is 4 months old and he vomits regularly and is now on medication for reflux. He also doesnt sleep very well at all. So I just look at my happy little guy that sleeps like a log all night and always has, and think man whats wrong with that kid! LOL I think to much emphasis gets put on trying to label things as a result of the DS or MDS. My baby is a baby first and dont tell me if he has a problem it is related to the ds unless you can prove it. I am not talking about the average things. I am talking about how medical professionals can jump on the Oh its because of the DS train. Maybe I am just being obstinate but I want my child to be treated for his needs not because of his condition.
