Sleeping Again!

After 6 weeks of Caleb not sleeping or eating well I was becoming quite frustrated. By not sleeping well I mean he was up almost every hour screaming! Around the 4 week I could no longer blame teething, eating new foods, or a never ending snotty nose. I finally thought of reflux. So I immediately took him to the Dr to see if we could increase his zantac that he has been on since 4 weeks old. Because he hadnt been eating well he hadnt had enough weight gain to increase his dose. Instead however, the Dr decided to try a different medicine. After a few days we noticed he was seemed to pull, tug, and bite less while nursing and seemed to sleep a little bit better. Then another cold creeped into our house thus adding to his congestion. So after only a few days of sleep Caleb starting waking often again. Then this last week I had to take Caleb in for his 2 week check to see how the reflux med was working and to see if he was gaining any weight. He was back to waking every hour but was still eating much better than before the new medicine. Well come to find out he had his first ear infection. I have taken him in so many times thinking he had an ear infection in the past but I was always wrong. This time I go in for a reflux check and he had an ear infection. Good thing I had to go in anyway otherwise I wouldve never taken him in to have his ears checked. I had decided that maybe these just werent going to be a part of his life like Ryan and Bekah. So after 2 days on Amoxicilin Caleb is back to sleeping until 5am when he nurses!! We are all sleeping again! My frustrations with nursing him last Month are over too thanks to his new reflux medicine! Praise the Lord!
