Your such a good Momma!

oh i love this shot. have been looking forward to seeing which shots you got of your baby. we're not friends, but i think we know lots of the same people because i lived in lubbock for a few years & went to trinity church, plus i follow your blog & you know how that makes you feel like you "know" the author. anyway, i had a baby 3 weeks ago. i'm going through similar things. just want to say how ahead of the curve you are in your approach (schedule, stomach sleeping, crying it out, etc) for being a 1st time mom. and also wanted to encourage you to keep sharing your feelings with someone or on your blog like you did here. motherhood can be so isolating & draining at the same time it is fufilling. sharing those thoughts are important to keeping you from drowning in them! i learned the hard way. congrats!

Are you eating dairy? You may try eliminating all dairy products from your diet as well. It takes 2 weeks to exit your system, so he will be an even happier baby in two weeks with his medicine and no dairy :). My baby has the same acid reflux problem and we were put on zantac, but we found out a few weeks later that the acid reflux can actually be caused by a milk protein intolerance (MSPI). And sure enough, they tested her stool and she had the MSPI. It is very common in babies and they usually outgrow it between 6 months and one year.

You are becoming a great mommy. You know what to do. I'm happy he is feeling better. I am very proud of you on your weight. I kinda didn't lose the weight and now after almost two years I'm getting it off(it's harder after a long period of time). You are doing great!!!

I loved using the Baby Wise method. My daughter is now 6 and she's so well behaved (of course she has her moments!) and she's so comfortable with who she is. I believe that a routine is what has made her comfortable, she always knew what to expect and was never surprised and wondering when was what. A routine is key!! Not that you have to live life according to it but it really does help. :) She has always slept very well at night with only a period of time when she was moved to a big girl bed and had to get use to that plus her trying to claim some independence. Sorry for babbling but I just wanted to tell you that I loved Baby Wise and the books that follow. Oh and Soloman is such a cutie pie!! Congrats!

My child had silent reflux. it was hard to diagnose him because nothing ever came up. Hince the name silent. YOU were very smart to notice the signs early. It can be tough! It sounds like you are doing well. Something else i swore by was the book Happiest Baby on the Block. You might have heard of it all ready but it got us through some tuff days. I give it as gifts now when i go to baby showers. Hope this advice from a stranger is not too weird. I am sure you are getting tons of advice and probably more than you want ; )

Your doing great!! I remember when we brought our daughter home and I was so overwhelmed and couldn't get everyithing done. I was telling this to a friend and she said...Don't worry about having your house clean and dinner on the table by 6 o'clock everynight. Your babies grow up so fast and you can clean your house in 20 years when their grown and in college. This was the best advice given to me. We did the Baby Wise and I HIGHLY recommend it! It gave me a lot of freedom and it also made me feel better knowing that they were getting really good sound sleep. And with the baby on a sleep schedule it gave me time to pick up the house. I started doing one chore a day, like Mondays I vacuum, Tuesday I dust, Wednesday I clean bathrooms, Thursday I sweep and mop and Friday I vacuum and Saturday and Sunday I don't clean house at all and then I do one load of laundry a day. I hope this has helped you. Just remember the stage won't last long so enjoy every minute of it!

I love that sweet picture. It's one of my favorites you have taken of him. Congratulations...I am glad he is getting back on track!

Oh my! This sounds exactly like Asher's newborn period. Acid reflux + a little colic = one tired mom! We're still doing Zantac with him. I think baby boys are much more needy of their mommy....especially if they don't feel well. Hang in there...it does get a little better and much easier. But there's no doubt it is the MOST exhausting period for ole mom =)

So glad to hear things are going well! My sister's little man has acid reflux bad too! he's about 3 1/2 months and things are getting better with him too! Email me and I can send you her email if you want to chat about it.. i know that always helps! Hope the puppy doggies are loving their new little brother! Take CarE!

That turned out soooo cute!! :)
