Back to the Drawing Board...

So Leyton's heartburn has yet to get better so we took him back to the Dr. yesterday. We are now going to give the Zantac more time to work, are adding 1/2 tsp of mylanta to our feedings and are switching over to the "Gold" formula (gold b/c it's pricey). The formula stinks really bad and he makes a face every time he starts to eat-but we have no other options right now. If he doesn't get better by Monday we are suppose to go back to the Dr-we are keeping our fingers crossed. On a better note (for him not me) Leyton is officially sleeping in his crib as of Monday night. He wasn't sleeping very well in the bassinet we have in our room and when we spend the night at Granna's he sleeps in the crib and sleeps well at that. He also takes naps in his crib-so reluctantly we put him in it for the night (I made multiple trips to his room for my comfort) and turned up the monitor up loud and he did well.

  2. My friend who had the little boy a week after Leyton is having the same issues. His started immediately, tho. He had and ultrasound yesterday to ck things out. I'll get the scoop from her and let you know the low down. Give Leyton a kiss from Aunt Mina.

  3. Im sorry to hear about the reflux. Linc had it too, they had to perscribe bethanecol (it is a compound drug) for him and that seemed to help when the zantac and previcid didn't. You might mention it to the dr and see if they want to try that. You have to give it to them a lot. Sucks that you had to switch to the expensive stuff. I really hope it gets better soon for you guys. He has really grown since the last time I saw him!

  4. We are enjoying him so much! He is a precious angel. We're hoping and praying that the meds settle his tummy, and he can be more comfortable. Love you all,
