Brandon went to the doctor today. He is up to a whopping 6lbs 11oz and is 22 inches long. He is such a big boy! We have discovered that Brandon is colic-y. This means long nights of screaming for us. It is heartbreaking seeing him with a such a bad bellyache, and nothing in particular seems to work consistanly. If anyone knows a good remedy, let us know. Please! Brandon is also having trouble with reflux, but we actually have medicine to fix that. Who knew there was such a thing as 'baby zantac'? Other than those things, Brandon is doing well and growing a lot faster than I would like. He can hold his head up and loves to move around when he is on the floor. Cody teases me that he is getting ready to crawl - uh, not funny. Mommy is not ready for that. We will be heading back to the doctor next week to see how Brandon is growing, and if his medicine is helping.
If giving baby powder formula, try mixing/shaking and wait for bubbles to settle down before feeding to baby. If able to, purchase liquid formula. Powder formula contains corn in mix which causes gas.
