Update on Jacob

We took Jacob to the doctor on Friday because he has been having crying spells more frequently and for longer periods of time (1.5 to 2.5 hrs).  We thought it was colic but the doctor thinks it is acid reflux.  He prescribed some medication like Zantac and we started Jacob on that Friday night.  Friday night was probably the best night for sleeping we ALL have had in 4 weeks.  Jacob slept from 8:30pm until 2am then from 3am until 7:30am.  No crying spells in between.

We have found it is best to keep him upright as much as possible and he is currently sleeping in his car seat.  He stays in his car seat or swing during the day (when we are not holding him).  Slower feedings and not “forcing” him to finish a bottle is also helping.

Here are a couple of videos of a much happier baby Jacob!
