Joseph has been spitting up quite a bit since he was born, in the hospital they switched his formula from regular Enfamil to Soy and everything was going great until about 2 weeks ago and he started projectile vomitting. He would soak through a bib, a shirt and a onesie 3 layers atleast 4-5 times a day. And each time we fed him we had to change his clothes atleast once if not twice at times. Sooooo, I took him to the doctor yesterday and he has Reflux which explains why he has been really fussy and cranky lately he has been in pain. The doctor wants us to switch is formula yet again before trying medication to see if it helps so he is now trying Enfamil AP which has rice in it, let me tell you a big difference. It is super thick and I have to use the fast nipples in order for him to eat anything thru the nipple and it is super sticky too and not only that but once mixed has to sit for 5 minutes so Joseph doesn't like to wait to eat but I learned to multi task and change his diaper while we wait for the bottle to sit. He is still spitting up but nothing like before and it is amazing he is so content now and happy just looks around like a baby should instead of crying. We will take him back on Monday to check in with the doctor on the formula and if he gets through the weekend without throwing up then he won't need to go on medication. So please keep him in your thoughts I really want to avoid the medication if it is not necessary.
Joseph weighed 9lbs 4ozs yesterday at doctor too, the doctor said he is gaining about 1oz a day which is really good.
