| Garrett is doing really well.
This past weekend we moved Garrett from the co-sleeping bed in our bed
to the Tucker wedge/ Tucker sling in his crib. I finally decided that
maybe we were keeping him up and stirring.
That must have been it. The first night he slept 4-5 hours for
the first run and then after his middle of the night feeding, he did not
wake again until 6 AM. Yes!!! I thought it might be a fluke,
but apparently that was all it took to get him down to one feeding at
night. THIS I can deal with!!
And he's no longer completely fussy during the morning witching
hours. After his 6 AM feeding, he is going back down for another
nap. I think that poor child just needed some peace and quiet and
a place to himself!!
This past weekend we also had him dedicated at church. It was a
beautiful day. We had a brunch and ceremony at church and then
afterwards we had a luncheon at our house. I'll post pictures when
I can.
Last week, Garrett's Levsin drops disappeared. I know Riley has
found a "new" place for them. So I had to get the doctor's office
to call them in again to the pharmacy. That took several days and
during that time, I noticed an increase in his gas and his BM's got a
little more difficult. We got the new drops yesterday finally.
Then just this morning I was putting Garrett down in the nursery and
what do I see Riley holding??? The old drops. Typical!
Well, at least he found them so now I can have a bottle upstairs and
downstairs. Got to find that silver lining!!
I think we may start cereal in his nighttime bottle again. Now
that we've got the Levsin drops again. I just didn't want to start
it when he was already so gassy.
Friday is Garrett's two month checkup. I'll be sure to post an
update afterwards.
I hope you all saw the newsflash that I have message boards on the
site now. Please take advantage of them!! I think we can turn them
into a valuable resource for all of us parents of reflux babies.
More later!
