So far, so good

If the last 48 hours or so are any indication, we've got a brand new baby! The Zantac seems to be working wonderfully. She is a much happier baby now - she used to need to be held anytime she was awake (and often to sleep) and was attached to her pacifier for comfort. I noticed yesterday that she only used her pacifier for one nap and bedtime. She doesn't seem to need it while she's awake now.

Feeding her has been easier. She can now latch on and stay on until she's done. I'm wondering if she will gain weight quicker now? I'm sure she's eating more. She still has some gas but that is much easier to deal with than the reflux, in my opinion. Once the burp is out, she's fine. Significantly less gas than before though, since she's not taking in so much air from crying and sucking on the pacifier.

AND she's been sleeping better. She used to take 15-20 minute naps if I was lucky, because she would always be woken up by the reflux pain. Once she got Zantac, she started taking nice, LONG naps - sometimes waking up to eat and then going right back down. On Monday night (the day we got the medicine) she slept for 6 straight hours! I wasn't so lucky last night, but close.

I took this picture right before typing this, and she is still in the same position as I finish. :)
