Talkative Tuesday

AlinnJo

Thank you so much everyone. I didn't mean to hijack the thread but it felt good to get it out there. Visitation went ell and they had COOKIES!! so Quinn was content and happy. I did pretty well until the Varsity soccer team walked in together and gave my little BIL hugs. I about balled my eyes out. I can remember the Varsity baseball team doing that for my H when we were seniors. Ugh! I doubt we will sit through the funeral. I'm guessing I'll end up in the nursery with Quinn. But that's ok. Thanks again for the kind words. It's much appreciated!

@loislayn‌ have you tried the other reflux medicine?  DS was on the generic for Zantac (Ranitindine Hcl),and we upped the dose a few times based on his weight.  but it was a miracle drug for him.  he had terrible acid reflux and was spitting up, crying and gassy.  After we started him on the medicine it was a huge change.  

Also we had (and he still does) based on the dr. advise as of 2 months old sleeping on a wedge.  It was something i bought at BRU and it goes under the sheets to just prop him up a bit.  We also kept him in a upright position for about 30 min after he had a bottle to help as well.   Everything seemed to help him.   I hope you find something that works for your little one! 

 @AlinnJo‌ Sorry to hear of  your family's loss, however its nice that your daughter can provide everyone with a bit of happiness during this hard time.

Ethan also had reflux @loislayn and we had some success with ranitidine, but had some success with gas drops as well as better success with Gripe Water from Whole Foods. We propped him up a lot in his vibrating seat as well as in his crib. It was a really difficult 3 months for us because we had BF issues as well. Ultimately we ended up using Alimentum formula which was very helpful. I hope things get better.
