A few weeks ago, the doctor prescribed Samantha Zantac to control reflux. This didn't really work, and she hated it. See my facebook profile for a video of the experience.
The doctor then changed her to Prevacid. And our lives have changed! We sleep at night now. Here's Samantha's new schedule:
Go to bed at 9 after drinking her Enfamil AR. We give the formula at night to reduce reflux.
Wake up at 1:30 - 4:30. Feed her another bottle of Enfamil AR.
Wake up for good at 5-7 AM.
Chris and I switch off nights. Tonight, for instance, Chris will give her a bath, get the Enfamil ready, feed her and put her down on her wedge (another prescription to control reflux.) Then she will wake up with her if she wakes up before 4:30 AM. I will wake up with her if it's after 4:30. Then tomorrow night we'll switch. Etc.
So far it's been working out great. I don't feel like I'm living in a constant haze. Mom's happier, Dad's happier, and baby is happier.
