Zipporrah seems to have the high arch, but what do you mean by saggy cheeks? Zipporrah's are huge. Even on ultrasound they were so big the kids thought it was her fists by her face. She wasn't fat either. She was only 7 lbs. 3 oz. at birth. Zipporrah suck well most of the time but sometimes it is as if she forgets the proper way and sucks in an odd way that cannot get any milk. She has a hard time latching on due to gagging, and then she swallows too much air and has tons of burps and wiggles and squirms because of it. She also vomits frequently. Some days it is only once or twice and others it is several times. She does the arching of her back thing too which seems so uncomfortable looking. She straightens and then arches and she also tends to sleep this way too which her tummy out and legs and head backwards in an arch. Darla: mommy to Asenath and the gangGet more from the Web.

Darla,

I think that some infants with reflux arch their back because it

lengthens the esophagus. There is a condition called Sandifer's

syndrome where infants and children actually tilt their head sideways

to lengthen the esophagus and when the reflux is treated and/or

surgically corrected the neck posture normalizes. The little girl next

door was diagnosed with this as an infant. She has CP also.

Gastroesophageal reflux in association with

the Sandifer syndrome.

Gorrotxategi P, Reguilon MJ, Arana J, Gaztanaga R, Elorza C,

de la Iglesia E, Barriola M.

Department of Pediatric Surgery, Hospital Materno-Infantil, San

Sebastian, Spain.

Eight

children presenting with the Sandifer syndrome (with neck contorsion,

radiologic studies of the cervical spine and normal neurologic

exploration) have been studied in relation to gastro-esophageal reflux

(GER). In the eight cases barium swallow, 24 h pH-metering, manometry,

endoscopy and biopsy were made, presenting pathological GER. The barium

swallow was pathologic in 62% of them. The pH-metering in 37%. The

lower esophageal sphincter pressures were decreased in 37%, with

esophageal motility alteration in 75%. Signs of macro and/or

microscopic esophagitis were found in 62%. Three patients received

surgical treatment and the rest medical treatment, with improvement of

the neck contorsion in all cases. We have attempted to evaluate which

one of the functional explorations for the GER diagnosis is better in

this kind of patients, and we have demonstrated that the most

frequently found alteration is the esophageal dysmotility.

Abbey's cheeks are big, too, even down toward her mouth which makes

them look a little droopy - her tone is much better now so it isn't as

bad anymore. As for the arching, we used Zantac for the first 2 yrs.

and it worked great. She stopped vomitting as much and stopped

arching. She doesn't have as many issues with her stomach anymore but

every now and then she goes trough a spell.
