Growing boy!!

Caleb has been feeding much more frequently the past few days.  Turns out, the scale shows it too! Last Wed. he weighed 9 lbs 11 oz at 5 weeks.  Today at 6 week, 2 days, he weighed in at a whopping 10 lbs 11 oz.

I'm loving that he is growing!  However, the reason that I found out is that we've had lots of difficulty with him lately.  He just seems to have excessive amounts of gas and upset stomach/puking (thus crying and less sleeping).  I went to a lactation specialists today and she told me he has acid reflex.  She suggested I cut out milk entirely.  I've already cut out onions, garlic, caffeine and anything else that will bring upon gas to breastfed babies.  With her recommendation, the doctor prescribed a baby version of Zantac.  I was only able to give him half a dose as apparently it is the MOST DISGUSTING TASTE EVER.  Oh if you could've seen his expression! ;-)

Please pray that this goes away without medication as it will not be easy to get him to take it.  And, I really don't know much about side effects of this medication.  I want to give it to him for the first week to jump start everything as apparently cow's milk lingers in the breast milk for at least 1-2 weeks.

I will end on a happier note, check out these adorable outfits.  They are newborn size but he won't be wearing that size much longer.
