Last night went much better than Monday night. I remember reading that when the baby is sleepy the reflux is not as bad because he nurses slower. Clark only nursed once overnight (aaaahhh so nice!!) and he only fussed a little, not even enough to wake up Josh! Then in the morning he nursed at 8am and I gave him Zantac right away. He fussed minimally while nursing throughout the day, but he spit up quite a bit. Then when I fed him at 7:30 before bed he really really really cried!!! I had given him Zantac around 6pm so I'm not sure why he was crying so much except that I remember reading that reflux gets worse at night. Anyway he wore himself out with the crying and fell right to sleep afterwards. I will call the pediatrician tomorrow about possibly increasing his dosage again. (Yesterday the doctor said to call if he keeps crying while eating.)
Today was pretty low-key. Clark didn't take good naps, his first one was twenty minutes, second one was forty-five, third was an hour, then the fourth was back down to forty-five. His fifth nap was choppy. He woke up after fifteen minutes then I soothed him back to sleep and he lasted about twenty more minutes. In spite of the bad naps, we went on a walk and Clark had some fun playing sessions with vigorous kicking and lots of cooing! He is getting more interactive every day. It's very fun!
That's all for today!
