Baby heartburn

Doc and I talked to Debbie for a long time last night about Jamie’s digestive and colic issues, and she thought that he probably had acid reflux, possibly in addition to colic. She told us to make an appointment with our pediatrician (she would be ours, except that she lives in Austin). We went in this morning, and lo and behold: a diagnosis of acid reflux. We start him on medication tomorrow morning, which (knock on wood) will help reduce his pain. 

THANKS, DEBBIE! YOU ARE AWESOME! We might not have otherwise gone in to the doctor, thinking that he just had “colic” and that nothing could really be done.

  1. I do so love modern medicine. Adults get acid reflux. Why shouldn’t babies and why shouldn’t they get some relief. Here’s to a happier baby tomorrow!
