In my other post, I mentioned how Brian (my 3 month old) has been screaming during his feedings. I've noticed on a couple of occasions that he seems to eat better when he is in a different position. Up until this point, he has been fed in the cradling position but has become extremely fussy (ok, straight on freaking out) when trying to feed him in this position. Two of the smoothest feedings since this has started occurred when he was in an almost sitting up position. Has anyone else noticed a change in the position in which their child likes to eat? Has it been indicative of anything else? I've been thinking that his acid reflux medicine (Zantac) may be losing its efficacy and that is why he is becoming fussy while eating. | ||

my son prefers to eat in a sitting position also, he is much more comfortable this way and he doesn't get as gassy, I'm not sure what the connection is but we just go with what works for him ya know | ||

Did it just suddenly start out of the blue? Brian usually wakes up once during the night for a feeding and he doesn't seem to care that he is in the cradled position then but during the day... | ||

If he is happy sitting, I would let him sit. You said he had reflux right? It may cause it to stay down and not come back up.

Has anyone had an infant acid reflux and was prescribed Zantac? If so, did you notice whether the Zantac lost it's efficacy after a while? | ||

I don't have any personal experience with it but I've had a couple friends whos babies where on it and they never mentioned anything like that, but if you're concerned I would check with his doctor. | ||

My youngest had GERD (acid reflux). Yes, the dose of Zantac had to be adjusted slightly higher every few months as she grew. | ||

good point about them growing, would only make sense that they would need more.
