Brandon had an appointment this morning with Dr. Teitelbaum. He hadn't been in 3 months. He was weighed and only gained 1 ounce according to their scale in a month. It is a different scale than at the pediatrician's office so he may have gained more. He has been much more active and last week was on somewhat of a bottle strike. We were away, his schedule was off, and he was getting two teeth. Since we got back from our vacation he is back on track with drinking the minimum amount of formula that the pediatrician wants. The GI specialist told me to try Brandon off of his axid in the mornings for 2 weeks. If he does well off of the axid in the morning then I can stop the night dose in 2 weeks. If his reflux seems to bother him more than I need to start the morning dose again. He will stay on his usual dose of prevacid. Brandon goes back in 4 months.
Brandon has not been sleeping great at night since we came home from our trip. It started the last 4 nights of vacation and has continued the past 4 nights that we have been home. He goes to sleep okay but a half hour later wakes up crying hysterically. I get him back to sleep and then 15 minutes later the hysterical crying starts again. This has been continuing for 2 hours each night with the sleep, wake up crying, sleep, wake up crying. Then he finally falls asleep. Last night he was also up crying hysterically at 12:15 and then again at 3:15. Hopefully this will stop soon since he had finally started to sleep through the night before we went away.

Robinson's weight gain has slowed as well. The pedi told me not to stress (when she saw the look of total fear on my face) and that he may only gain up to a 1/2 pound a month now which she says is completely normal. He's teething as well, and won't take his bottle or solids well some days...some days he's fine. He's also started the waking up 2-3 times a night...I'm guesssing it's the teething as well.
Just wanted to let you know that you're not alone and once again, Robinson and Brandon are giving each other hints on how to act :)
