Joey started taking Zantac at around six weeks of age because he appeared to be in pain during every feeding and they were really a struggle for all involved. So we started the Zantac, switched to Dr. Brown bottles and the feedings got so much better (I couldn't believe that I was able to have a phone conversation during a feeding). Last week, though, the feedings started becoming a struggle again and all this week Joey was eating about half of what he usually eats. We went back to the doctor today and received a prescription for Prevacid which we will start tomorrow. If things don't get better by next Friday, the doctor recommended that we go in for a barium swallow (Joey drinks some stuff down and they track the liquid going through his tummy) to make sure that acid reflux is really the culprit. Let's hope the Prevacid works!
On a lighter note, look how cool Joey looks in his hip onesie (a gift from Belinda - thanks, B!).
