The mother of an 8 week old totally breastfed baby who called because her
 baby has been gaining 3-4 oz a week up until about 3 weeks ago when the
infant was put on bethanechol for reflux. the baby has been gaining 1-2
oz for those last 3 weeks.  The mother is reluectant to discontinue the
medication to see what would happen because they put the baby on
bethanachol for the crying the baby did: the vomiting was minimal and the
parents were not bothered by that.  Anyone else know of a drop in weight
due to bethanochol?  Mom is at home nurse totally, no other identifiable
changes in nursing or behavior.  I did search Lactnet and found tons of
helpful info but nothing specific to this.
