note to kjm412 regarding colic

[Guest guest]

Kim, not sure what insurance that you have but mine united health care, empire covers the full cost of my sons formula similac alimentum because he has diagnosed colic. Just wanted to let you know in case you were in a similar situation and didnt know insurance may cover this for you. We save about 700 dollars a month this way. Tammy <kjm412@...> wrote: ,Your posting is a sobering reminder that kids have OTHER problems besides plagio...sounds like some hard decisions for you. Our son has colic (probably gastric

refulx ) along with plagio and that made the break in hard for him. He was just growing out of it when we got the helmet and now he's starting to teethe (oh joy!). Good luck at your appointment. If it's good for him, I hope he is through with his treatment! I am hoping Dr. will tell us we are done on Monday too, but I think it will be another month.>> My son has been in his RHS helmet 4 months and has never had any problems with it bothering his eyes.

As I mentioned in another posting, my son is now wearing glasses so we are wanting to concentrate on those. In addition, we live in Huntsville, so it is a 2 hour drive to Vanderbilt.

Tammy,

Thanks. I breastfed exclusively at the time the colic was the worst - tried to

change my

diet, etc. Nothing worked. I did try the hypoallergenic formula at one point,

but he

wouldn't eat it. Our insurance would not cover it, but would cover the very

expensive

medicine. go figure!!!

Thanks for the advice!

, I hope that the colic has subsided. My son (and DD) both have/had milk and soy protein allergies. With my daughter I thought that ment don't drink milk or have ice cream, so I thought the diet change didn't work. But now that my son has it also, and we have a ped. that breastfed a similarly allergic child, I know that no soy and no milk means ABSOLUTLEY nothing with soy or milk as an ingreadient! Not even PAM! After 2 weeks on that diet, he was a completly diffrent baby, no more screaming from gas and a lot less spitup (we thought it was reflux at first). It has been hard on me, but I did lose all my baby weight and more, and am now cooking much more healthy.Kami <kjm412@...> wrote: Tammy,Thanks.
