information I wished I had beforehand was the best way to continue
working on a routine with a reflux infant without thinking he should
be sleeping through the night at eight weeks. I learned reflux babies
are delayed in this category, and that is not a reflection on either the
baby, the parent or Babywise. It’s just a normal outcome for a reflux
baby.
What ever happened to Ross? From Sally’s journal:
We brought a list of symptoms to our pediatrician, who immediately
suspected reflux. She prescribed Zantac. We saw a significant
difference in Ross in two days. As he began feeding better, his day
and night sleep also improved. Ross continued nursing for 13
months. Once he started drinking from a cup, we stopped the
medicine. The reflux was gone.
What ever happened to Caleb? From Stephanie’s journal:
Because of his healthy weight gain, Caleb’s pediatrician chose
medication over any invasive procedures. The meds worked
wonderfully. His reflux improved beautifully, and most significantly
of all, his little body began to relax. After a week of this, Caleb went
to bed and slept 12 hours through the night, and he has continued to
do so ever since.
