my little ones have GERD. One has it worse than the other, but both cry during feedings, wake up in pain when laying on their backs, spit up with pain, etc. They are being treated with Zegerid, which is a newer PPI, and symptoms are definitely improved, but they still have problems. Instead of every feeding being a nightmare, we have 1-2 problem feedings a day, with some additional instances of crying from pain throughout the day.
Is this normal? Or do we need to pursue a new course of treatment. My pediatrician seems to believe that my experience is normal. I just wish there were something that would allow them to be pain free.
thanks.
