Did the barium swallow test

Ours wasn't bad. What they do is have your LO not eat for 2 3 hrs before the test. Some moms are told 4 hrs. They bring you in a room uggs on sale for women in clearance fox fur where there is a table and large X ray machine overhead. They had a little hospital gown I needed to put on my LO, she kept on her diaper. They put her flat on the table, the radiologist women's ugg classic short black boots on sale and an assistant held her on the table while my DH was given a baby bottle of barium that's warmed up. They had my DH stand at the head of the table and feed my LO the barium. My LO was put in different positions while being fed the barium (on the side) while continuous X rays are being taken. I watched the monitor so I could see the X rays. You just see the barium going down the ugg bailey button triplet 1873 grey boots esophagus and into the empty stomach. My LOs stomach was completely empty when they started. The radiologist ugg bailey button boots 5803 black commented on it. He had my DH give my LO a pacifier at one point during it and stop the bottle. The whole feeding thing probably was five minutes tops. My LO liked the barium and was chugging. LOL. She didn't reflux during it, a lot of LOs don't just because it's so quick. Doesn't mean they don't have reflux. I would bring an empty bottle. They asked me if I had a empty bottle with me which I didn't. They had bottles but it may uggs on sale for women in clearance fox fur be easier if your LO has a bottle theyre familiar with. I would also bring a pacifier. The only side effect of the barium is your LO might have whitish poop. I should add when my LO had it done she was only two weeks. It may be more difficult with an older infant especially one sitting up or crawling. HtH!

You give your baby 1 8oz of barium while being flat on their back it in their side. The X ray machine is a few inches above their body. You then hold LO still for 10 20 minutes to see if they reflux and to see if their food empties into their tummy.

My LO is very healthy minus the reflux/FA. He's in the 95% for height and weight. He nurses like a champ! I think this test was utterly useless in his case.
