We took Jack to the pedi last Friday. After spending some time talking to our pedi and explaining the constant crying, no naps, etc I think we may have gotten to the root of the problem. The poor guy has acid reflux.

I feel so stupid and like I should have figured it out ages ago. I guess I thought that since DD was the easiest baby of all time that Jack was just behaving like a normal if slightly fussy baby.

Since starting his medicine it's like a whole new baby. He plays, he's been napping longer, and thank tiny, infant Jesus he's letting other people hold him for more than 2 seconds.

This coupled with the 3 hour nap DH let me take on Saturday and I feel like a normal human again. Thanks ladies for letting me know I wasn't crazy!

That's fantastic news! I mean, I'm sorry he has acid reflux, but that's great that he's responding well to the treatment!

I'm so glad it's such an "easy" fix. This is wonderful! Don't beat yourself up about not getting to it sooner, it's something so many overlook.

Enjoy your arms!

That is great news. Eli has reflux pretty bad and the medicine saved us! I am glad things are getting better for you guys.

That's excellent! I'm happy to hear it was something that can be easily managed, and everyone can get back to normal!

Ahh you all are giving me the warm fuzzies.

I'm so glad you found out what it was and Jack is doing better. And that's great that you got the 3-hour nap and are feeling normal!

I don't think you should feel bad at all. It's so hard to know what's normal and what's not, and even if you ask, half the time you hear, "every baby is different!" The important thing is that you did ask, and now you know, and he's feeling better, now, too!

That's great you found answers. We are planning on talking to the doctor about Jackson. He seems to be having the same problem.

I think hearing every baby is different 5,000 times when I talked to family about his issues really made me feel like I was just making things up. I usually follow my instincts pretty well, I just thought this was a normal baby thing.
