I do not have a child with down syndrome, but I do have a wee one with a Milk/Soy Protien Intolerance, also known as MSPI. Many people think of this as a lower belly issue with stools. However, for us it never manifested that way. My daugther would "spit up" Almost all of her bottles for weeks, then we finally progressed onto feeding refusal. We were put on a special formula above Alimentum, called Neocate, and we are not even at full strength formula at that. I would try to to elminate the milk if all possible. Our next step once she hits 11 1/2 months is attempt a Milk challenge and if she does not pass that, then we will head to Rice Milk. Also, make sure that your dose of your PPI (proton pump inhibitor) is correct. My daughter's was to high, and that was also causing some nausea and vomiting. The one thing with Rice Milk is that your protien will have to come from other sources as it doesn't have much in it. This may not even help you, but I have become a NUTCASE about under diagnosed babies with this. It even caused my daughter to be diagnosed as failure to thrive :(Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00313857122305930830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3016568225160293031.post-4460993450596728162009-10-09T18:23:00.863-04:002009-10-09T18:23:00.863-04:00I'm a broken record.

Wysdom is on Domperidone 3 times a day to help speed up digestion. He is also on Zantac for acid. He has always had it since birth. He has good weeks where it's minimal and by that I mean once or twice a day where he throws up. Then we have bad days where it is not stop all day. We have the luxury of the ng though so it helps. How about fortifying his milk somehow to increase the cals and give him a little less volume. Or how about smaller amounts of milk broken down into more times a day. Maybe he just has a delay in stomach emptying? Hang in there kiddo. I can't believe how similar our two are.:)lolSasha@ Blyssfulhealthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03645600854443758785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3016568225160293031.post-45173590363852970912009-10-09T15:46:35.751-04:002009-10-09T15:46:35.751-04:00maybe you gould try goat's milk. it's a l...maybe you gould try goat's milk. it's a little expensive, but i've read & heard that it's easier for little tummies to digest...Leigh Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13594622474522642702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3016568225160293031.post-64913199052040024332009-10-09T15:45:30.727-04:002009-10-09T15:45:30.727-04:00Hey Laurie,

Often kids are allergic/sensitive to milk AND soy, and it's not really identified when the mom is nursing. And sometimes doctors get so distracted by the Down syndrome that they forget to go back to what they would recommend for a typical kid. (I'm guessing food allergy stuff would be in there somewhere for a kid that has weaned and is suddenly spitting up all the time!) <br /><br />Maybe get a recommendation about using formula that has proteins that are more broken down? (like an aliumentum or something like that.) If you don't think it is a soy and/or milk allergy, you could try Bright Beginnings (available online), which is a little higher calorie...<br /><br />Good luck!Alisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01841385204603187935noreply@blogger.com
