Probiotics are natural, and sometimes after taking a lot of antibiotics there is bacteria overgrowth in the intestines that can cause reflux like symptoms, taking probiotics eliminates the pain and belching and all that stuff. Talk to your doctor about it, but usually doctors want to put everyone on medicine and they don't want to hear about natural treatment. There are probiotics formulated for children. Hope this will help you. Take care and good luck, I hope he will get better. He's so sweet! Did you ever tried probiotics instead of prevacid?

I've just read your feeding update on your little feller. It's really positive that he's making progress. It may seem slow at first, but progress is progress and the fact that he plays with food now is a giant leap in the right direction. Our little boy, Rory, is 13 and a half months old now. He has come on leaps and bounds in the past two weeks. The day he turned 13 months a miracle happened: He actually started putting food in his mouth. Since then, he's been making daily progress. He now self-feeds chunks of cheese (as opposed to being fed grated cheese), cheerios, rice cakes and all kinds of biscuits (the sweeter the biscuit, the more enthusiastic he is). He still won't go near bread and refuses most fruit apart from bananas. I'm feeling a lot more positive now. He said his first word (car!) the day he turned 13 months too. The speech therapist is pleased that he is progressing. She did say, though, that he does hold the food in his mouth for an awfully long time. It is often difficult to know if his mouth is full or empty! We have been put on a course to learn Makaton just in case his speech doesn't come on. Best of luck with your little chap. I'll keep you updated on Rory's progess. Marie Hi Sherean,

Marie from London here again. I’ve just read your feeding update on your little feller. It’s really positive that he’s making progress. It may seem slow at first, but progress is progress and the fact that he plays with food now is a giant leap in the right direction.
