Got Milk?

Well...for most of you that keep up with us on a regular basis know that Noah has desperately been struggling with acid reflux and what a battle it has been! His first couple months were wonderful. He barely EVER spit up and I thought we were the luckiest parents in the world...well I spoke too soon. Around month 3, it started to affect him more and more and he would literally just vomit a good portion of each bottle after each feeding. About a month ago, we went and saw the doctor and she started out the conversation by saying well just try the rice cereal and see if that sticks to his stomach better and I in turn said "ok that's fine but I'm also not leaving here without some sort of prescription - this is the whole reason why I made the trip over here."

Well the rice didn't work and the zantac has been a nightmare. Whoever the idiot was that designed peppermint medicine when apparently babies don't like that flavor really has made my life difficult. Literally, the first time we tried to give him the zantac (syrup form with a syringe) he LITERALLY shot it from his mouth over to the door across the room. It was actually quite impressive. Needless to say, he hates the medicine and we can barely get it in him or not much and we've tried to put it in the bottle but still no change. So today I took him back over to the doctor and said we need to do something new- this isn't working and Saturday he cried and cried and cried and cried and cried....get my drift. Yeah for 12 hours straight, nothing could calm him down and add teething on top of that. It was a sad day...for all of us. So all that to say, I now have a prescription filled for prevacid which is a dissolvable tablet that goes under the tongue. So please, please pray for us that we start to see a change....definitely for our little guys sake and for our sanity.

We've done zantac, maalox, rice cereal, gripe water, tylenol, similac soy, enfamil A.R Lipil and now back to square one with our regular enfamil. You know- there's only so many baby products out there!
