hoping this is it...

So my lil man hasn't been doing to good AGAIN :( I know its NOT colic cuz his symptoms aren't that of it. So I did some research on his symptoms :






  • gulping with a painful look on the face







  • sour breath, wet sounding burps







  • persistent or chronic cough







  • frequent hiccups







  • sudden burst of painful crying







  • painful wakeups from sleep or poor sleeping habits






  • neck or back arching during or after feeding







  • excessive fussiness, crying or colic







  • demands to be carried constantly






  • And Yup, ACID reflux..my poor baby...I did cut out dairy, choco and caffeine for a while, but slowly brought some of it back into my diet and now I GOTTA take it out again (cuz I thought it was the ice cream that hurt his tummy, but now it mite be one of those things that could be causing acid reflux). So I brought it to my son's docs attention and she prescribed Zantac. Yes I don't really wanna put him on it. But my poor baby is in So much pain, he clutches his fists really tight to his body and squeezes his chest and it breaks my heart. Im not gonna lie, it's been a lil' difficult these past few weeks (I sit and pray and ask God to give me patience and know that it's NOT his fault) I do it a good few times, cuz this boy WHAILS, and screams. But I HOPE and PRAY it works. IT HAS TO WORK>>>I can't bear to see him in SO MUCH pain..!!! I know this isn't something my son is just being fussy bout'. I think I know my son's personality (im with him ALL day), and He used to BE SO HAPPY and now he cries ALL day and WILL not let me put him down. NOT even in his swing (which HE LOVED). So tonite we tried the Zantac and he seems already better and guess what..?! He went in his swing..OH please don't make this be just a fluke thing!! So we'll see how he does on it, and I think thats why hes gained so much weight. Cuz they say some babies like the breast cuz nursing helps soothe his throat from the acid.. :( GOSH I HOPE THIS works..crossing my fingers, and praying EXTRA hard tonite!


    I do get happy smiles in the MORNING..every morning and LOVE every 1 of them!
