Our happy boy

We caught IDiddy in an unusually happy mood yesterday afternoon before his 1 p.m. feeding.

Had to catch it on video and share…

He’s a great baby (they both are), but you can tell his reflux and feeding issues really affect him. He’s calm, quiet and loves to smile, except for during his flareups.

To combat his issues…

  • We have him on two doses of Zantac (1 mL each dose).
  • Two doses of Prevacid Solutabs (7.5 mL each dose).
  • He’s eating Elecare (a lactose free, amino-acid based, hypo-allergenic, expensive formula) with each feeding.
  • We’re adding a tablespoon of rice cereal to each 5 oz. bottle.
  • And… we’re adding a packet of Culturelle Probiotics to one bottle a day.

Here’s to hoping this video is evidence that something in the regimen is starting to really work…

UPDATE: Some audio from Ian talking it up after this morning’s feeding…
