She was born really small 5lbs and after a week was not eating at all because of Acid reflux so I got worried. I went to her pediatrician and to a stomach specialist and they gave me Prevacid and I can tell you that from all the medicine, it is the only 1 working and she does not have anymore problem. I am giving her Similac Alimentum that is an hypoallergenic formula and it helps digesting better. Please if you need anything or you want my doctors name let me know and I will be more than happy to help you.<br />I really wish and hope you all the best with little Gaby, she is so sweet and cute and I am sure that she is protected and she will get healthy and you will forget about this very soon.Delphinenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3015926567663896058.post-59547079532174004382010-04-01T02:25:15.948-04:002010-04-01T02:25:15.948-04:00Adriana I am so sorry to hear your concerns about ...Adriana I am so sorry to hear your concerns about your little girl. I think failure to thrive was a bit alarmist on the Doctors part. From what you write here its does seem that she is hitting every other milestone. <br />If she is in the 10th percentile it just means, (to me) that 90% of the other babies weigh more.. right? She could be perfectly normal. <br /><br />She looks a lot like your husband, he is a slim person right? She could just have inherited his genes and having this reflux is not helping her.<br /><br />Good luck with her. I am sure will be fine. <br /><br />PS.<br />The baby fever is hitting me!!Celestehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00551174028128814636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3015926567663896058.post-3245955898017327892010-03-31T12:59:24.916-04:002010-03-31T12:59:24.916-04:00♥ Adriana.

Gaby is growing, just at her own pace. She is hitting all her milestones and continues to progress, that is what is most important :) Hugs from us, I am sure she is fine<br />Love,<br />Territlhesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08274869472278148754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3015926567663896058.post-28089140680105749302010-03-30T21:29:20.529-04:002010-03-30T21:29:20.529-04:00Adriana,

Yo la veo bien de estatura y si es mas flaquita que Olivia a esa edad, pero no todos los ninos son iguales. Entiendo tu preocupacion, tus angustias y tus miedos. Estare pendiente de ti el 5 de abril y voy a rezar para que Gaby este sanita. Lo que necesites, por favor avisanos. Estamos a la orden.<br />Un beso y tranquila que todo va a salir bien.Los Diaz-Salvioli o Salvioli Diaz?https://www.blogger.com/profile/17849673953334874805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3015926567663896058.post-12704934231793020622010-03-30T19:45:23.636-04:002010-03-30T19:45:23.636-04:00Thanks everyone for your encouraging comments..
Ma...Thanks everyone for your encouraging comments..<br />Maggie- she was diagnosed with reflux because she was arching her back and wasn't absorbing enough calories..she would also spit up a lot and hated the sitting position..that's how the doctor came up with it!Stories of a Happy Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18405023387577997990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3015926567663896058.post-42011759380781920872010-03-30T18:40:37.898-04:002010-03-30T18:40:37.898-04:00i know the worst thing in the world is thinking so...i know the worst thing in the world is thinking something is wrong with you girl. as long as she is happy, eating well, and hitting her milestones, i wouldn't be concerned. she may just be a smaller girl or she may just be waiting for her growth spurt. :) (why do you think she has reflux? what kind of symptoms does she have?)I Just Love Youhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11019493669764729700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3015926567663896058.post-87093821277991645182010-03-30T16:48:37.609-04:002010-03-30T16:48:37.609-04:00I agree with everyone else - Gaby is just a sweet,...I agree with everyone else - Gaby is just a sweet, petite little girl. My niece was always small, and now at age 3, she's still just a peanut - and her 1 year old brother wears the same size diapers.

I...Im so sorry all of this is happening Adriana. I'm sure she is just fine...she is just a petite little girl. She is hitting every milestone and she is such a happy little girl. If something were really wrong Im sure you would have figured it out by now...she is in no physical pain (I'm sure you would know by her attitude and for the most part she is a happy little thing). I'll keep her in my prayers and please keep me updated. If it makes you feel any better, Isabel is only in the 20%. The doctor said that he is blaming her slow weight gain on the reflux.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05480220325140033562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3015926567663896058.post-55494332547199591252010-03-30T09:41:25.668-04:002010-03-30T09:41:25.668-04:00One thing I've learned about doctors is they a...One thing I've learned about doctors is they are total pessimists. Do NOT let this get you down... if she is hitting her milestones what is weight?? Reflux is something that can be fixed and she can grow out of it... and while she is not hitting the higher percentiles in weight I honestly think this would be the last of my concerns of all the other things I could be concerned about. I think you have a beautiful healthy girl... maybe you should put her on my diet and she'll gain a lb a week... it consists of girlscout cookies, ice cream and candy ;) Also remember she is a pretty active baby if I remember seeing the video of her in the crib.... that burns calories. Are there any high calorie foods you can give her? Surely they make some special foods for babies... Hang in there girl! Stay POSITIVE - it could be a LOT worse!!!Pam Burrushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10922171761226972132noreply@blogger.com
