Acid Reflux

Well, if we weren’t novices, we would have figured out a lot sooner that Isaac’s frequent crying, arching his back, spitting up, feeding frenzies, etc. all pointed to acid reflux. But we finally figured it out and started him on meds at his one month checkup.

He seems to cry less and sleep better now. Lots of days are set backs but as a general trend, I think he’s getting better. It’s about time too—we were seriously doubting whether Isaac would have any siblings. And it’s hard to feel sorry for yourself and how you have to listen to all the crying when you know that your baby is crying because he is in pain. I should just feel sorry for him, right? But anyway, it’s been really hard but cross your fingers that he is just going to get better and better.

It also makes me sad that he has had reflux because he eats a lot to put out the fire in his throat, which has made him gain tons of weight! My little boy is already growing too fast! Look at how much bigger he is...
