Infants with GERD? and using reglan?

Question

my son was put on the generic version of reglan and i gave hime two doses, i noticed a complete 180 in personality, he normally is happy, content, loves to play and then with one dose and worsened with the second to a baby that cries ALL the time. have any parents had experience with this and could help me to help my child
he is 3 1/2,
i cut down feedings to 2 oz every two hours, which did help, but he is constantly hungary this is a boy that could eat 6 oz every 2 hours if i let him,
he throws all of it back up, it's not just a little bit, i can actually cup it in my hands and it will overflow

Additional Details

3 1/2 months that is

he really was a GOOD baby, people couldn't believ ehis demenor when they meet him. he goes to any one, is always smiling, except when he has to go to bed which he puts up the funniest fight in the world, but he never cried. he didn't even cry when he woke up and wanted feed,

even when he had projectile vomit, he would just laugh( this is not joke) i really think that he did it on purpose :P

Personally I would consider also taking him to a children hospital and have their gastro intestinal specialist take a look at him. My son would do the same thing with his formula projectile everywhere with every feeding no matter how I tried to limit and burp him. His pediatrician told me give him the meds and take him home. When I took him in to the hospital they took one look at him and went over his symptoms and told me change his formula to neutramagin.... Cured the vomiting in 2 days. Mind you every child is different and alot of them it is just reflux but it could also be an allergic reaction to something in the formula/breastmilk espesially if you have a family history of food allergies. Good luck and I hope it clears up soon!

Answer 2

reflux drugs can take a few weeks to start fully working,its way too early to make a judgement just yet.. my son was on a few different ones until we found what helped, but to be honest, he never was that perfect happy baby i'm sure you are longing to have.. it just was bareable - better. well until they grow up and outgrow it anyway!
