Guess who has reflux?

That's right...Josiah is officially a reflux baby! That's why he was having such a hard time these past couple weeks. One day at day care last week he was so miserable, wouldn't sleep, cried constantly, and kept arching his back. Even the other teachers noticed something was wrong with him. I called Andrew and had him take Josiah back to the doctor (along with an entire page of questions that I had written out for the doctor). The doctor decided to put him on Zantac twice a day to see if that helps and to have me cut out ALL dairy from my diet. That night after taking Zantac Josiah woke up once to eat and slept the rest of the night, and since then he's been having fantastic days! He's been smiling, giggling, putting himself to sleep without fussing (even at daycare), cooing, and he even rolled over this weekend! I was so worried that his reflux would keep him from thriving because he wasn't eating well and wouldn't even play. But now he seems to be advancing quickly! Josiah is also a pretty big 4 month old. Last week at the doctor he was 17 lbs. 6 oz! He's got lots of rolls and is such a cutie! If he keeps doing well then I will introduce rice cereal again (or barley, not sure yet) and see how he does.
