Out of curiosity, how did you guys handle the reflux? We think Gavin might have it since he starts screaming and balling up about 10-15 minutes after he eats. I envy the once a night feedings. Gav is still on the 4 time schedule......

My reasons for going to the ped with concerns about reflux:
-Getting VERY angry when he'd spit up
-Spit up would wake him from a sound sleep screaming
-Having him sleep on an incline helped (we put a pillow under the crib matress)

We went to the doc, and he was checked out for other conditions/causes of the irritation. The ped gave us a prescription for baby Xantac. It's worked wonders. He still spits up, so did Alex, for 11 long months, but it no longer makes him angry & upset. Also right away see if sleeping on an incline helps.

Call your ped, get him checked out. It can only help!
